j^eri, fuchsias, double and single gerani-

The judge was Wencil Cukerski, our 

 lormer superintendent of parks, who is 

 just going into business for himself, and 

 his work gave general satisfaction. 



The hall is not as good a place to show 

 |)lants as Fruit hall, of previous years. 

 It is too draughty. The space is not all 

 iu one place, but distributed around, and 

 ])lants dry out too quickly. Fruit was 

 shown in the same hall as the flowers. 



At least twenty-eight outside florists 

 \i.sited the fair, and for next year an 

 effort will be made to secure some enter- 

 ] /rising firm, from Chicago or elsewhere, 

 10 make a trade exhibit, as it would be 

 jiood advertising. 



A fee of $30 was given A. Bole, of 

 Ada, Mich., to put up his collection of 

 <lahlias, which were certainly fine, and, 

 judging from the crowd constantly around 

 his table, the public was interested in the 

 display. 



The amateurs made a creditable show- 

 ing and more encouragement should be 

 given them. G. F. C. 



BUFFALO. 



TheMai^et 



We are now having our Indian summer 

 and, if anything, the temperature is even 

 ^varmer than we had in July. Tuesday, 

 September 14, was the hottest day ever 

 registered in Buffalo for the month of 

 September. This is naturally hard on 

 stock. Carnations are improving and 

 everything is being helped along as a 

 result. Violets made their first appear- 

 ance last week, but are small and there 

 is little call at this season of the year 

 for them. 



Various Notes. 



W. J. Palmer & Son were in charge of 

 the decoration at Derby in honor of Miss 

 Pierce's wedding. Miss Pierce is the 

 (laughter of George N. Pierce, the auto- 

 mobile manufacturer. 



The much talked of bowling club 

 started its first weekly roll and it indeed 

 was a grand success. Three games were 

 rolled, which created a large amount of 

 l)leasure and friendly feeling for the 

 boys. A light lunch was served, after 

 which Chairman Neubeck called the boys 

 to order and the Buffalo Florists' Bowl- 

 ing Club was formed. Members were en- 

 rolled and oflScers were elected. Two cap- 

 tains were elected, also a secretary and 

 treasurer. L. H. Neubeck was elected 

 captain; Robert A. Scott, vice-captain; 

 Joseph Streit, secretary, and Charles San- 

 diford, treasurer. It is the purpose of 

 this club to get the boys together each 

 Monday and bowl a few games and the 

 six highest men are to be selected for 

 the convention team. Although this is 

 really the reason for the organization,

there will be any amount of pleasure in 

 each week's roll, so if you miss one week, 

 come the next. Everybody who is a 

 member of the Florists' Club is entitled 

 to roll, and if you can attend, come up 

 and you will be taken care of. The bowl- 

 ing is done at Sandman's, Main and 

 North streets. The club had the pleas- 

 ure of seeing H. A. Bunyard, of New 

 York city, and Charles Risch, of .James- 

 town, at the bowling meet. 



A. Zirkman and S. S. Pennock were in

Danville, III. — H. D. Caldwell, chief 

 gardener at the National Soldiers' Home, 

 says this season has been particularly 

 favorable to outdoor growth. Park bed- 

 ding has been fine and cannas never were 

 better. He has been saved the labor of 

 using the hose, as rain has fallen plenti- 

 fully just when wanted.

Palestine, III. — E. T. Oldham says 

 that trade this season has been excellent. 

 He has remodeled his greenhouses, which 

 were considerably damaged by a hurri- 

 cane last July. The hurricane was a 

 serious one, causing the loss of two lives, 

 besides demolishing buildings and trees.
