The Florists' Review 



OCTOBIIB 8, 1014. 



BUFFALO. 



The Market. 



Cold weather and frosts have made 

 outdoor stock somewhat scarce, so that 

 but few asters are to be had and these 

 are of poor quality. There are not many 

 . gladioli left, but some fine America still 

 are coming into the market. Dahlias of 

 all kinds are available and sell well, be- 

 ing used in funeral work and for all 

 purposes. The cactus varieties are just 

 beginning to arrive. Tellow and white 

 mums are becoming more abundant; 

 the price, however, remains high. 

 There is a strong demand for carna- 

 tions, but the supply is meager, for the 

 fall crop has not come into bearing 

 as yet. 



Killarney and White Killarney are 

 excellent. Eichmond, Milady and Key 

 are in splendid condition. Taft, Mrs. 

 Aaron Ward and Bussell are improv- 

 ing right along. Valley is not plenti- 

 ful at present. Calendulas, snapdragon, 

 mignonette and cosmos are among the 

 garden flowers seen at the various 

 stores. Violets are again with us, but 

 they are small and short of stem, and 

 the color is somewhat pale. The price 

 is low, owing to the inferior quality. 

 There are a few weddings booked for 

 October; not large ones, however. 



Various Notes. 



Thomas Tobin has severed his con- 

 nection with W. J. Palmer & Son and 

 is now running a parcel delivery of his 

 own. 



The window display of 8. A. Ander- 

 son last week was most unusual. Cro- 

 tons were grouped here and there with 

 yellow and bronze dahlias on a ground- 

 work of lavender crepe paper. Bas- 

 kets of yellow dahlias and cattleyas 

 were also used. Large vases of white 

 mums with oak foliage formed the 

 background for the window. 



Harry L. Aust and William Gotte- 

 vald will open an up-to-date flower 

 shop at 392 Genesee street October 7. 

 Attractive announcement cards have 

 been sent to their many friends and 

 acquaintances, inviting them to their 

 opening exhibition. 



William Lake, the ribbon dealer of 

 New York city, was a visitor last 

 week. E. C. A.
