BUFFALO. 



The Market. 



Business has been changeable the last 

 few weeks, but is increasing with the 

 times. Mums have arrived and have 

 been welcomed. Outdoor stock, includ- 

 ing the dahlias, is over; the variety 

 of indoor stock is increasing. Pompons 

 are more in evidence this season, and 

 while the price is considerably less 

 than for the gorgeous sized flower, the 

 quantity is considerably larger, so we 

 are gainers in the end. Roses have 

 sold well, especially the shorter 

 stemmed stock of the Killarneys. 



Various Notes. 



The coming flower show is the one 

 big event now on the calendar for the 

 local florists. Even the great political 

 questions have been thrown aside to 

 make room for the show which is to be 

 held in Convention hall, November 6 

 to 10. Through the efforts of George 

 McClure we shall be able to transform 

 the spacious hall into a beautiful Italian 

 garden. Nothing will be left undone 

 in any way to make this the most beau- 

 tiful show ever staged in Buffalo. It 

 will be done by the cooperative efforts 

 of all the florists, just to show the Buf- 

 falo people what the florists' industry 

 of Buffalo means. Our slogan is, "Buf- 

 falo Means Business," and as florists 

 we are going to hold up our end. Mr. 

 Kasting is the general chairman and 

 the several committees which he has 

 appointed are all working hard to carry 

 out the plans he has so carefully 

 mapped out. Never before has such 

 interest been shown in the club and this 

 assures us and is also an incentive for 

 the boys to work harder. 



Foreign stock has for some reason or 

 other been delayed this season, as some 

 of the growers are still waiting for the 

 azalea shipments. On the other hand, 

 one grower showed Mme. Petrick in 

 flower last week. Azaleas are good in 

 their season, but with the abundance 

 of flowering stock just at present it is 

 the general opinion that mums are more 

 profitable for the month of October. 



Joe Toben and Robert A. Scott were 

 the last members of the club to take 

 unto themselves wives. Happiness 

 reigns supreme in both cases. 



Henry Easier has had one of the 



best seasons of his career and reports 

 that, with Buffalo growing the way 

 it has in his district, he, too, will keep 

 on growing. 



On account of the alterations to the 

 market Jacob B. Wiese has been forced 

 to vacate for a few months. Mr. 

 Wiese states that he will have the 

 finest place in the market when the 

 changes are completed. He has made a 

 reputation for himself at his store and 

 has elevated the flower business on the 

 market. Good prices and fresh stock 

 are always in evidence. 



Jerome Deutscher, for some years 

 with Wm. F, Kasting Co., has resigned, 

 owing to ill health. 



The Elmwood Floral Depot has built 

 additional greenhouses and installed a 

 new Kroeschell boiler. 



The Wm. Scott Co. has just completed 

 a new house, 180 feet long, to be de- 

 voted to begonia stock. R. A. S. 



Clinton, Mass. — F. P. Sawyer has had 

 a good season's trade, with consider- 

 able shipping business, including a re- 

 cent shipment of 20,000 pansy plants 

 to Jacksonville, Fla.
