The Market. 



We can truthfully report that business 

 has been good for the last week. Fu- 

 neral work has been especially good, and 

 the old saying again came true, that 

 "it never rains but it pours." As a 

 result stock has been well cleaned up. 

 Weather conditions have been in our fa- 

 vor, as we have had mild weather, with 

 an occasional rain. Everybody is now 

 figuring hard on the outcome of the 

 Easter stock. It will indeed be a gamble 

 this year, the season being late. 



Qub Meeting. 



March 6 was the banner night for the 

 Buffalo Florists' Club. Forty-eight mem- 

 bers assembled for the occasion, and, 

 from the reports of the older members, 

 it was the largest meeting ever held by 

 the club. The meeting was opened by 

 President Neubeck, and, after some other 

 business, the election of officers took 

 place. In the election of the president, 

 Charles Reichart withdrew in favor of 

 Charles Sandiford. Mr. Sandiford ac- 

 cepted the office, and, at the suggestion 

 of President Neubeck, he was escorted 

 to the platform by William Scott. David 

 J. Scott was elected vice-president; J. 



Rowland Cloudsley, secretary; Wallace 

 Mss, treasurer, and Emil Brucker, finan- 

 cial secretary. Three directors were then 

 elected, namely, William F. Kasting, A. 

 Adams and Charles Keitsch. 



The meeting was then adjourned. 



Through the energetic ability of the 

 three men on the entertainment commit- 

 tee, we were then favored with a splen- 

 did program of sports. We wish to 

 mention that it was not the idea of the 

 club to induce the many members to 

 come simply for the entertainment, but 

 to show the boys the enthusiasm aroused 

 and assure them that the organization is 

 still and always will be a florists' club. 

 Henceforth the night will be set aside 

 for business, with the occasional enter- 

 tainment. However, the program ar- 

 ranged was complete in every detail and 

 thoroughly enjoyed. Mr. Slattery afford- 

 ed as much pleasure by his actions as 

 referee as did the talent. After this 

 program everybody adjourned to the ban- 

 quet hall, where a very enjoyable spread 

 was prepared. 



L. H. Neubeck acted as toastmaster, 

 seated at the same table with past- of- 

 ficers, including William Scott, William 

 F. Kasting, Charles Keitsch, William 

 Peak and William Legg. Mr. Neubeck 

 opened the ceremonies with a few re- 

 marks pertaining to the past, present and 

 prospective condition of the club. He 

 then called on the newly elected presi- 

 dent, Charles Sandiford, who gave an 

 interesting talk. William Scott was next 

 to be called on, but the occasion was too 

 much for his strength, and he was forced 

 to retire. A standing toast was then 

 given for him, as the oldest living ex- 

 president of the club. Several others 



were called on, among whom were George 

 E. McClure and William F. Kasting. Mr. 

 McClure was called on to represent the 

 younger generation of the club. He 

 spoke in grand style and laid out a few 

 plans which, if followed, would make the 

 club one of interest as well as business. 

 Mr. Kasting then spoke, touching on the 

 coming convention, and also on extending 

 an invitation to the National Rose So- 

 ciety. His remarks were roundly ap- 

 plauded. The toastmaster then closed 

 the banquet, and everybody went home 

 highly satisfied. The attendance at the 

 banquet numbered seventy-five, including 

 several visitors, among whom were the 

 White Bros., of Gasport; G. L. Graham, 

 of Bradford, Pa., and Mr. McCarthy; of 

 Lockport. 



Various Notes. 



R. J. Irwin, with H. H. Berger & Co., 

 was in town on his maiden trip for the 

 firm. Although on his maiden trip, Mr. 

 Irwin has traveled the territory from end 

 to end, and his many friends assure him 

 of success. , R. A. S. 



Mason City, Iowa. — William Magner, 

 an employee of the Kemble Floral Co., 

 recently met with a peculiar accident, 

 which may result in the loss of the sight 

 of one of his eyes. When he happened 

 to step on the blade of a hoe in the 

 basement of the company's building, the 

 handle of the hoe flew up and a nail in 

 the handle penetrated his eyeball. 



I CONSIDER the Review the best trade 

 paper published, of its class. It is brim- 

 ful of good things every week — bright, 

 breezy, bountiful, better than the best. 

 Long may it prosper. — ^Lbwis B. Al- 

 len, Murphysboro, HI.
