superintendent of the trade exhibition. 

 This IS a post of great responsibility, as 

 the success or failure of the trade ex- 

 hibit depends almost entirely on the abil- 

 ity of this man. Besides this, many 

 other items of importance bearing on the 

 coming convention of the S. A. F. will 

 be decided. For these reasons it is hoped 

 that there will be a large atter dance.

BUFFALO. 



The Market 



BufiFalo, like most other places, had a 

 green Christmas and it was indeed a 

 big trouble saver and spared a lot of 

 expense in wrapping. The thermometer 

 did not register below freezing for the 

 three days before Christmas, and not until 

 the next day did the temperature drop 

 below freezing. It does not seem as if 

 anybody felt the effects of the absence of 

 snow, for conditions seemed about the 

 same as regards the amount of business 

 done. Some did a little more, while 

 others did a little less. All we know is 

 that a raft of stock was cleaned up. 

 Plants sold well, especially the cheaper 

 ones, and this fact was noticed by 

 everyone. Poinsettias sold well, especial- 

 ly the low pans. Single plants no longer 

 have the call, for nearly everyone who 

 wants a plant and is willing to pay well, 

 passes up the single plant and chooses 

 the pan. It is right that they should, 

 for nothing is better for any use at 

 Christmas than a well shaped pan — say 

 an 8-inch or 9-inch pan, with five or six 

 low bracts, well shaped. They sell on 

 sight. 



Azaleas seemed to have an off year. 

 For some reason or other, nobody 

 thought they would sell and they did not. 

 But an azalea is not like a begonia, 

 which has to be sold almost as soon as 

 you get it. Everyone had some heather, 

 some ardisias, and a mixture of other 

 Christmas plants, but there was a 

 marked absence of cyclamens. Joe 

 Street, at Anderson's, was the only man 

 in town with any cyclamens of any ac- 

 count. 



Cut flowers were, as usual, expected to 

 be as scarce as could be and the quoted 

 prices indicated this, but this changed 

 and prices were not so high the last day 

 as was expected. Red roses, however, re- 

 mained scarce and continued so through 

 New Year's. Carnations have been just 

 scarce enough to keep the price good 

 during the last week. 



Fancy stock, such as orchids, valley, 

 gardenias, bouvardias, heliotropes and 

 daisies, was in big demand last week. 

 No doubt there is no week in the year — 

 or we might say two weeks — when high- 

 class stock has such a call. 



Various Notes. 



The last two weeks have been record 

 breakers for dances, parties, etc., and the 

 result was a good business for everybody.
