BUFFALO. 



The Market 



Everybody has settled down to work 

 after the summer vacations. Business 

 has improved a little and with the in- 

 crease of better stock every day we look 

 for a decided increase in trade. Good 

 asters are scarce; that is, large flowers 

 and good stems, but the shorter ones are 

 overplentiful. Considerable stock , has 

 been used for the store openings. All 

 the large stores in the city have hal more 

 or less elaborate fall openings, and 

 palms were much in demand. The palm 

 question is a serious one, when the stock 

 is to be loaned to the dry goods stores. 

 The opening lasts for the whole week 

 and this is almost sure death to the 

 plants. Many protests are made every 

 year by the florists, but every store had 

 palms this year. 



Various Notes. 



At the last meeting of the Buffalo 

 Florists' Club more business was done 

 than in a long time. A flower show 

 was proposed and a committee appoint- 

 ed to prepare a program. The club looks 

 to every florist to take an active part 

 in this show and make it worth while. 

 The' aim of the show is not to put up 

 handsome prizes and enter for compe- 

 tition, but to show the public what we 

 have to offer. The idea is a good one 

 and is bound to be successful. 



George E. McClure recently had a 

 narrow escape from a severe accident on 

 his motorcycle. The front forks broke, 

 but he was fortunate enough to come 

 out with a few bruises. E. A. S. 



NEW ORLEANS. 



Qub Meetin£. 



The New Orleans Horticultural Soci- 

 ety held its regular monthly meeting Sep- 

 tember 17. The greater part of the 

 time was consumed in routine business. 

 Three new members were received — John 

 Heme, H. A. Steckler and M. J. Gurt- 

 ler, and four were dropped off the list 

 for non-payment of dues. H. Pap worth 

 was appointed chairman of the commit- 

 tee of arrangement for the next flower 

 show, in place of James Newsham, who 

 resigned. 



A few very complimentary remarks 

 on the northern florists and on the Nia- 

 gara convention were spoken' by H. Pap- 

 worth and Charles Eble, who came back 

 a few days ago.

ana, from British Honduras, and^Odon- 

 toglossum grande, from Guatemala, were 

 exhibited by James Newsham. Consider- 

 ing the lateness of his importations, Mr. 

 Newsham is well satisfied with his lot 

 of orchids. 



Various Notes. 



J. Sieber has charge of Mrs. Rehm's 

 place, at the corner of St. Charles and 

 Napoleon avenues. 



R. Eichling, at U. J. Virgin's, has 

 taken a fancy to the growing of crotons. 

 They are certainly a fine lot of plants, 

 well adapted to our warm climate. 



R. Chevalier, a large grower of mums, 

 lost his entire crop by too much rain. 



The weather continues favorable, and, 

 no doubt, by November 1 we will be well 

 supplied with good flowers. M. M. L. 



Beloit, Wis. — J. Rindflcisch, whose 

 greenhouses are located on Fourth street, 

 has opened a store at 514 East Grand 

 avenue. Souvenirs of Killarney and 

 Beauty roses were presented to the visit- 

 ors on the day of the opening. The new 

 store is tasteful and attractive in appear- 

 ance. An addition has been built to the 

 front and the interior has been hand- 

 somely decorated in green and white.

Worcester, Mass. — Notices have been 

 sent out from the Worcester Art Mu- 

 seum, stating that the plants in the 

 greenhouses at the museum are to be 

 sold at once. These are the old Salis- 

 bury greenhouses. There has been oppo- 

 sition to their being abandoned, but it 

 has not been effective.
