The Weekly Florists' Review. 



AUQDST 24, lOll. 



BUFFALO. 



The Market. 



Business for August has been un- 

 usually quiet, with only a limited 

 amount of good stock on the market. 

 Asters, of the early varieties, have 

 been short and almost unfit for use 

 in good bouquet work. Carnations 

 are a thing of the past, as far as any 

 quality goes. Koses have been fairly 

 good, but were found only in limited 

 <)uantities when it was necessary to use 

 them. Lilies have been used exten- 

 sively in funeral work. 



Poinsettias appear to be the main 

 product of the florists this season, as 

 every one is going in strongly for 

 them. Begonias are grown largely, but 

 not by so many of the growers. 



(jiladioU are used as a main decor- 

 ation for the store windows and have 

 helped out to a large extent. Green 

 f.Vood3 have given the windows a sum- 

 mery look for the last month and we 

 might add that the ideas were clever 

 and have attracted the attention of 

 .every passer by. Mill scenes with the 

 natural flow of water and the little 

 bridges are almost like the original 

 country. Htaff'ord, Palmer and Ander- 

 son .'ire the leaders in this respect. 



Various Notes. 



Miss 8auer, one of the few single 

 folks engaged in the florists' business 

 here, left the ranks last week and was 

 quietly married. The couple took a 

 western trip. 



David Scott distinguished himself 

 last week in the ball game between 

 the Elks and Shriners by making two 

 three-base hits and catching an ex- 

 cellent game for the victorious Shriner 

 team. 



.Tohn Grabheintz, who is a graduate 

 •of the Sangster store, has started in 

 business for himself on Broadway.

■ , \;- -i *»-; 



Salem, Mass.— W. T. Walke sold im- 

 mense quantities of his deep pink snap- 

 dragon, which was a winner at the Bos- 

 ton show in March. It is a grand bed- 

 <ler, as is demonstrated in beds leading 

 to his trim, well kept place. There are 

 -three other colors, dwarf varieties sent 

 out by local seedsmen, that are admi- 

 rable companions to this pink one. 



Waverley, Mass. — When the writer 

 called, Edgar Bros, were finishing the 

 harvesting of an immense crop of 

 Comet tomatoes, to be followed by 

 «weet peas, sown where they will Dloom. 

 BobTJdgar says he is studying out what 

 to work in meanwhile, as there is a long 

 period between. Mums, planted on the 

 ground in high houses, are looking fine.
