APRIL Z, 1808. 



3UFFALO. 



State of Business. 



The condition of business changed 

 only a little the whole of last week. 

 Stock is plentiful and from all indica- 

 tions there will be an abundance at 

 Easter. Low prices prevail on every- 

 thing and any flower can be procured on 

 a minute's notice. Plants are none too 

 plentiful, but, from all reports, we ex- 

 pect to see the town overstocked at 

 Easter. Business will have to increase 

 in tremendous strides for everybody to 

 say more was done than last year. With 

 the depression in all other lines, we can- 

 not expect ours to be booming. How- 

 ever, this does not help the situation 

 any. 



Various Notes. 



Peter Crowe stopped at Buffalo on 

 his return trip from Chicago to Utica. 

 Another season will see Mr. Crowe grow- 

 ing roses again. He is to grow two va- 

 rieties, Ehea Eeid and Killarney. Mr. 

 Crowe has been in the business forty- 

 three years, starting in Orange, N. J. 



We have heard of the destructiveness 

 of rats, but the last to come to our 

 notice was the case of S. A. Anderson. 

 He has lost many a pan and flat of 

 tulips and daffodils by the rats eating 

 tiie center of the bulbs. Naturally, they 

 like the most expensive, for they eat the 

 Murillo tulips sooner than any other. 



R. A. S. 



Chatham, N. Y.— R. E. Shuphelt is 

 expected home in a few days from Fruit- 

 land Park, Fla., where he spends his 

 winters. 



Leetsdale, Pa.— Wm. Rosenbauer built 

 this spring two up-to-date houses, each 

 18x112. He intends to grow nothing but 

 bedding stock this season. The houses 

 were erected and stocked under the direc- 

 tion of H. C. Bucheler, of Sewickley. 



Hastings, Neb. — C. Wm. Sidles is 

 building three more houses, each 20x132 

 feet. The sashbars and gutters are of 

 galvanized iron, and he thinks that the 

 material and the whole type of construc- 

 tion are such as to make the houses par- 

 ticularly strong, durable and "satisfac- 

 tory. Trade, he says, is good, with an 

 especially active demand for the higher 

 grade of stock.

pneCA filRANTFA "^^is beautiful variety has extra large flowere, which 

 "*'^^^ UlUftn I fcW« gfg borne in such abundance that the mass of 

 color on each plant is amazing. Single petals are 2>^ inches across; color, a 

 deep, rich rose, almost a coral carmine. Plants make a vigorous growth, pro- 

 ducing unusually fine clumps of green foliage. Height, 4 feet. (A great fa- 

 vorite with visitors to our trial grounds.) Strong plants, $2.00 each, prepaid; 

 $18.00 per doz. by express, not prepaid. 



ni A nin.CI np A Remarkable for the unusual shape of the flowers, which 

 ^^**'*'** ruuilfli ]qq^ i^^Q large Gladioli. Petals are not long, but short 

 and rounded and so wide they overlap each other, thus giving a very attract- 

 ive appearance to the flowers. Color is crimson, changing to carmine rose 

 with an uneven edge of gold to each petal. Height, 3^ feet. Price, strong 

 plants, $2.00 each, prepaid; $18.00 per doz. by express, not prepaid. 

 UCTCnp Meteor is a vigorous grower with healthy green foliage. It is 

 ""^ fcUlii highly valued because of its magnificent flowers, fully four 

 inches across, and abundance of bloom. Color is a deep crimson; very rich; 

 each plant usually throws up five to six trusses of buds, which continue 

 blooming luxuriantly all summer through. Price, plants or dormant roots, 

 75c each, postpaid; $6.00 per doz. by express, not prepaid. 



WILLIAM SAUNDERS (l^^)- '^^^ flowers are large.of splendidform 



wtlLiClwm QffUnUfcnq ^^^^ gj.g borne very freely in immense clust- 

 ers. The color is a deep, rich, shining scarlet, lightly dappled with crimson. 

 Foliage is a rich bronze. Height, 3^ to 4 feet. We believe that Wm. Saun- 

 ders is decidedly the most perfect canna of this type that has been introduced.
