The Weekly Florists' Review* 



OCTOBEU 21, 1900. 



Fall Is Here — Soon Be Winter — Is Your 



Heating System Ready? 



There is no time to waste. Drop ue a line and we will come 

 and see what you need. Or if you know what is needed, send 

 at once for it— a new boiler, new parts, new pipe or fittings— 

 anything that goes into a heating plant. 



We are taking special paini with hurry orders, but when a 

 lot of customers want a lot of things all at once, at the last 

 minute, some of them are in danger of being kept waiting a bit. 

 So send in now for what you want— then there will be no 

 setbacks and hard feeling later on.

and, as usual, he is sending the best of 

 roses to the market. 



The Bufralo Cement Co. has erected 

 two houses on its property in North Main 

 district and has leased the same to Mr. 

 Webber. The houses were built by the 

 King Construction Co. 



James Higgins, lately in the employ of 

 Miss Eebstock, has left Buffalo to take 

 up a similar position in Pittsburg. His 

 place waa filled by Mr. Gibson, of the 

 same city. 



Announcements were received from the 

 Lenox Flower Shop, announcing the for- 

 mal opening October 16. The store was 

 decorated in elaborate fashion, the fea- 

 ture being a large Buffalo in the win- 

 dow to celebrate the exhibition then go- 

 ing on in the city. The conservatory, 

 which is in the rear of the store, was 

 arranged effectively with foliage plants.

WAYSIDE NOTES. 



J. C. Hatcher, of Amsterdam, X. Y., 

 has purchased the greenhouses and stock 

 owned by the late John H. Starin, at 

 the beautiful estate in Fultonville. Some 

 idea of the extent of the purchase can 

 be got from the fact that fifty two- 

 horse loads of material have been re- 

 moved to Mr. Hatcher's place at Hoft- 

 mans, leaving about one-half yet to fol- 

 low. Several grand old specimens of 

 phoenix and kcntias cannot be removed, 

 owing to thoir size and the cost of re- 

 moval. It .seems a pity that they could 

 not find a home in some of our park 

 conservatories. At the Hoffmans place 

 a house 200 feet long is planted with 

 the new asparagus, which is entirely dis- 

 tinct from the old tenuissimus, being of 

 a darker color, quite dense and much 

 more lasting. By cutting out the center 

 string, the plant is caused to make vig- 

 orous side shoots, continuing thus the 

 entire si^son. 



A. J. Binley, of Glens Falls, X. Y., is 

 enlarging his office and rebuilding two 

 houses, making a snug show house. He 

 reports an excellent season. 



n. L. Crandell, of Glens Falls, is an 

 optimist. Besides, his stock is in fine 

 shape and will find a ready sale. 



Watkins & Son, of Sandy Hill, N. Y., 

 have a large patronage, especially in 

 funeral designs. Miss Watkins is the 

 artist and was making a pretty door
