The Weekly Florists' Review^ 



Januabt 21, 1909. 



fering from the experience of every other 

 florist, from which it is evident that no 

 one plan has yet proved its superiority 

 over all others and that the ideal method 

 has not yet been definitely and generally 

 adopted. Many questions were promptly 

 and very intelligently answered by Mr. 

 Willis, who is thoroughly conversant 

 with his business and evinced a consider- 

 able amount of ability in the aptness of 

 his illustrations. 



Various Notes. 



The mail order florists have mailed a 

 large portion of their spring catalogues 

 and returns in the shape of orders are 

 already coming in and every succeeding 

 day will show an increase in the amount 

 of mail received until the height of the 

 spring planting season has been reached. 

 All indications point to a heavy business 

 and if expectations are realized, the sup- 

 ply of plants in some lines will hardly be 

 sufficient to cover the demand. 



John M. Good, Frank E. Good and 

 Opha Jackson recently returned from 

 West Baden, Ind., where a short stay 

 was found beneficial to the health of 

 each. Ge Dale. 



BUFFALO. 



The Market 



Business remains only fair, with no 

 show for improvement. Extremely cold 

 weather prevails in Buffalo, with little 

 sunshine. Stock is none too plentiful 

 in the rose and carnation line. Other 

 stock is plentiful. Bulb stock is coming 

 in much stronger, but tulips are short- 

 stemmed. Single daffodils are scarce and 

 bring a good price. Peas are in big 

 demand^ with quality none too good. 



Various Notes. 



W. J. Palmer & Son are cutting some 

 fine stock of Bhea Beid at the Lancaster 

 greenhouses. 



S. A. Anderson made his window at- 

 > tractive last week with the early rhodo- 

 dendron, Christmas Cheer. This makes 

 ,(M a fine plant for early showing and forces 

 )- very early after arrival, but the trouble 

 lies in getting the shippers to send early 

 enough for Christmas. 



Dutch bulb agents made their appear- 

 ance once more. 



Mr. Smith, of the Boas Box Co., also 

 called last week. 



W. H. Grever, distributor of the Ever 

 Ready pot cover, reports a heavy sale of 

 his cover for Christmas, and is now 

 busy preparing for his Easter business. 



Mr. Kasting was prominent in society 

 circles last week, having charge of the 

 floor at the Elks' ball. R. A. S. 



Petersburg, Va. — A. W. W. Bryan 

 has just completed another house, 30x50, 

 and an addition, 10x30, at his boiler 

 shed.
