The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



January 27, 1910. 



BUFFALO. 



Charles Sandiford, gardener to J. J. 

 Albright, at Buffalo, has a grand display 

 of cyclamens of Excelsior type. When 

 H. A. Barnard, of London, saw them re- 

 cently, he acknowledged that the famous 

 Bush Hill strain was equaled. The 

 grapery and peach house are being 

 started up. . . 



Charles Hewson was giving the fine lot 

 of cattleyas at the Wm. Scott Co.'s Buf- 

 falo place their weekly dip. They are 

 his pets and, as he says, though he can- 

 not spend so much time as when he cared 

 for them years ago at the magnificent 

 place owned by the Duke of Richmond 

 and Gordon, they pay when blooms bring 

 $1 each, as they did this season, with not 

 enough of them to fill the demand. The 

 Corfu establishment will be increased ere 

 long, as the best stock seen at Cold 

 Springs is being shipped from Alec. 

 Willie Scott says the American grown 

 ramblers were never finer than this year. 

 They have a house potted up and 

 trimmed back, starting up quite evenly 

 and promising well for Easter. 



Chas. H. Keitsch, of Buffalo, says 

 wedding decorations are on the increase, 

 denoting good times. 



E. J. Spiess, of Buffalo, had the im- 

 provements to the Peach street place 

 completed before the holidays, and is 

 well pleased with the good job done. 



John B. Milley is one of the largest 

 growers of bedding plants in the Bison 

 City. His stock of S. A. Nutt geraniums 

 is running up into thousands. 



WAYSIDE NOTES. 



Thomas Mansfield, of Lockport, N. Y., 

 is building concrete benches in place of 

 wood, using cement and sand. He says 

 ashes accumulate dirt and moss. His 

 next house will be 25x100, of King con- 

 struction. X -nr T 



Robert Ballantyne, gardener to Mrs. J. 

 J Thompson, at Canandaigua, made an 

 exhibit at the show that called forth 

 much praise for the houses by the lake. 



Bellamy Bros., of Syracuse, N. Y., are 

 getting into shape after several draw- 

 backs. It was a case of hustle or Jack 

 Frost threatened to close them up for 

 the winter. It was a close call. Harry 

 Bellamy is sick, but hopes soon to be 

 around again, 



Gustav Bartholme reports an excellent 

 season, and is preparing for a banner 

 spring trade. ^• 



Beverly, Mass.— James Whittier, 

 dealer in plants and garden furniture, 

 has been adjudged a bankrupt, with lia- 

 bilities amounting to $9,206.26, and as- 

 sets, $936.20.
