The Weekly Florists' Review* 



OcTOB^B 15, 1908. 



BUFFALO. 



The Market. 



The nights for the last few weeks have 

 been cold, with a few frosts. The neigh- 

 boring towns on the east have had hard 

 frosts. All bedding stock is damaged 

 and only such stock as salvia and other 

 late stock is standing the cool- nights. 



Outdoor cosmos is just beginning to 

 flower; the same is true of dahlias, but 

 the season is too short to get a good 

 supply of either. Splendid cosmos is 

 shipped in from the east and sells on 

 sight. Dahlias are also good, but the 

 shipping is too much for them. A slight 

 bruise and your flower is unsalable. Not; 

 withstanding the splendid packing by the 

 Atco shippers, the soft varieties show the 

 journey, and if stock is not sold shortly 

 after arrival, it is worthless. 



Early mums have arrived and there 

 was a wild scramble for the first stock. 

 Fall weddings called for mums and 

 everyone wanted them on arrival. The 

 result was a good price for the grower. 

 Each day brought out the stock and now 

 you can have any color you may choose. 

 Violets are improving fast and a num- 

 ber were sold for the big football game 

 Saturday. 



Various Notes. 



The committee for arranging the 

 flower show to be held by the Buffalo 

 Florists' Club held a meeting on Mon- 

 day last, at Lancaster, N. Y. Mr. 

 Palmer, being on the said committee, in- 

 vited the gentlemen to hold the meeting 

 at his office, and also to see his new 

 range of glass. 



Mr. Oilman, one of the large violet 

 grgwers of the east, visited Buffalo last 

 week on a fishing trip. 



S. A. Anderson had one of the largest 

 decorations seen in years. E. B. Thomas, 

 of the New York to Paris fame, spent 

 the coin, so no expense was spared. The 

 job was complete in every detail and the 

 work was highly praised by the papers. 



J. Eowland Cloudsley, manager of the 

 Lenox Flower Shop, reports business as 

 good in his new store. He made his 

 window very attractive last week by ar- 

 ranging a football field, with all the 

 side issues. 



Joe Streit has again succeeded in get- 

 ting a fine stock of begonias for the 

 fall trade. He has a few under lock and 

 key, in the begonia line, which he hopes 

 to be winners. Making a study of them 

 as he does, he is bound to make some- 

 thing of them. 



Fall planting is being done exten- 

 sively just now. George McClure & Son 

 are at present planting large jobs.

Somethios Aboot Roses in U-Bar Hooses 



Time and again gardeners have told us that they have less trouble 

 with their roses when grown in a U-Bar house. Mildew more easily 

 prevented and all that sort of thing. 



Whether this is because of the increased lightness, the under-bench 

 ventilation or the pejcfect system of heating, we are not wise enough 

 to say, but suspect all three have to do with it. However, the fact 

 is established, as results have proven, and results are what you want 

 a greenhouse fer. Send for fully illustrated catalog and know why 

 it. is also the most enduring construction. 



The ideal construction for private estates, parks, 

 public institutions and florists' showrooms.
