sorts of uses. Harrisii lilies are abun- 

 dant, but have little demand. 



Boston ferns and palms are good. 

 The fall demand for them has begun 

 to make itself felt. About the middle 

 of September fall trade will begin in 

 earnest. 



Various Notes. 



Miss May French, of Mark Aitken's 

 establishment, Springfield, Mass., was 

 a visitor August 27. She expressed her- 

 self as having been much pleased with 

 Buffalo flower shops and said much in 

 praise of them. She was returning 

 from Toronto, where she spent her 

 vacation. 



The Buffalo florists who attended the 

 Boston convention all had a big time 

 and enjoyed the reception at the Cop- 

 ley Plaza hotel and all the other enter- 

 tainments. They did not complain of 

 the rain, which spoiled so much of their 

 pleasure. 



W. H. Oberg, of the W. L. Eock 

 Flower Co., Kansas City, Mo., was a 

 visitor here last week. He also spent 

 a day at Niagara Falls. 



Frank J. Mahoney is spending a 

 week 's vacation with his parents at 

 Rochester, N. Y. 



A. N. Pierson, Inc., of Cromwell, 

 Conn., is sending some extra fine cat- 

 tleyas to this city. 



S. A. Anderson motored to Toronto, 

 Canada, where he is a judge in the 

 flower department of the Toronto fair, 

 September 1 to 14. 



A new red rose has made its appear- 

 ance here. It is the Francis Scott Key, 

 an exquisite, velvety-petaled rose, with 

 beautiful shadings of light to deep red. 

 It has a good, firm stem and fine foli- 

 age, and makes a splendid summer 

 rose. It bids fair to become a great 

 favorite here. 



J. Thomann & Sons, of Rochester, N. 

 Y., are shipping some excellent Roch- 

 ester White gladioli to this market. 

 They are pure white, with large, fine 

 flowers, and bring a fancy price. 



Robert and David Scott visited Crom- 

 well, Conn., August 22, and inspected 

 the establishment of A. N. Pierson, 

 Inc. Joseph Streit was also with the 

 party. 



Palmer's branch store recently had 

 an artistic window display of yellow 

 and white gladioli and Asparagus 

 Sprengeri. They made a splendid show. 



The Lancaster, N. Y., flower show, 

 held August 13 and 14, was a great 

 success. Barney S. Myers, Fred "Wise, 

 of East Aurora, and C. F. Guenther, of

Hamburg, were the judges. There were 

 some fine exhibits of sweet peas, asters, 

 gladioli, nasturtiums, etc. Professional 

 florists were excluded from exhibiting. 



S. A. Anderson's window display last 

 week attracted large crowds. It con- 

 sisted of individual vases, labeled with 

 neat cards, containing globe amaranth, 

 Scotch heather, liatris, salpiglossis, 

 statice, helichrysum, Montbretia for- 

 mosa, delphinium, etc. The background 

 was made up of large gold vases of 

 yellow and white gladioli, with a vase 

 of pink here and there. It was an un- 

 usual display. 



During her vacation, Miss Helen Loe- 

 big acquired the gentle art of walking. 

 Some days she walked five miles. 

 There's a reason. 



The Wm. Scott Co. is putting in a 

 new boiler at the greenhouses at the 

 corner of Main and Balcom streets.

The Market. 



Flowers continue to be plentiful, 

 with little improvement in business. 

 There seems to be no let-up on the quan- 

 tities of asters, gladioli and Beauties 

 coming into this market and, as to 

 quality, we never have received better. 

 Roses are meeting with better sale and 

 the few new varieties arriving are 



bought up quickly. Lilies are good, 

 with the supply equal to the demand. 

 Garden flowers of nearly all varietic-> 

 are a glut on the market. A few car- 

 nations have made their appearand', 

 but with short stems. The retailer- 

 report business exceedingly dull. 



Varioiis Notes. 



The city parks are in their glory. 

 Superintendent Burke and his asso 

 ciates, John Jones and Mr. Moore, art' 

 to be congratulated.
