The Weekly Florists' Review^ 



Mat 14, 1908. 



BUFFALO. 



State of Business. 



Miserable weather has prevailed the 

 last week. On Saturday the rain came 

 down in torrents, followed by a terrific 

 hail storm. Fortunately, the hail was 

 not large ^enough to do any damage. 

 Violets are about done with and the sweet 

 peas are showing the effect of winter 

 flowering. The new crop arrived in 

 small quantities and in a few days we 

 expect a large cut. 



Various Notes, 



C. T. Guenther, of Hamburg, is sending 

 a fine lot of Carnot and Kaiserin roses. 

 They are quickly bought up at the com- 

 mission house. 



J. Rowland Cloudsley, late of the Wil- 

 liam Scott Co., has leased the store form- 

 erly held by J. H. Rebstock. The store 

 has been a flower store for fifteen years 

 and with Mr. Cloudsley 's experience he 

 is assured of success. 



Charles Sandiford, president of the 

 club, entered in the bowling contest 

 just held in Buffalo and succeeded in 

 getting in for the prize money. The con- 

 test was held in the large alleys where 

 the society bowls this summer. 



The regular meeting of the Buffalo 

 Florists' Club was held in its club rooms 

 May 4. The meeting was well attended 

 by the local florists and a good share of 

 the out-of-town members. The feature 

 of the occasion was the paper read by 

 George McClure, Jr., on orchids. "When 

 the regular business had been transacted, 

 the club decided how the bowling team 

 should be picked for the coming conven- 

 tion. After a few words from every- 

 body except the janitor, it was decided 

 that the ten highest men should elect a 

 captain, he to choose the team. The 

 contests start May 11 and any member 

 eligible to the team must bowl fifteen 

 games. 



E. J. Fancourt called on the trade last 

 week. E. A. S. 



It is with sincere regret that the Re- 

 view reports that Wm. Scott has suf- 

 fered a second paralytic stroke and that 

 his condition is now one of almost com- 

 plete helplessness. 



The Review is the best and most up- 

 to-date florists' paper in my oflBce. No 

 florist can afford to be without it. — John 

 M. Egan, St. Paul, Minn.

B. & S. Shasta Daisy ] 



We have worked up a fine stock of this daisy from divisions, and these must not be con-

 comparison. Now is the time to plant them. Blooms from late June till frost cuts it down. 

 $6.00 per 100; $50.00 per 1000. Strong, 3-inch plants.

 per 100; $100 00 per 1000. Most profitable light pink carnation today.
