The Market. 



The cold, stormy weather continues 

 and has been a big drawback to busi- 

 ness since the first of the year. With 

 the exception of a few days last week 

 when the temperature rose nearly to 

 the freezing point, we have had con- 

 tinuous stormy weather. Many days 

 the glass is so covered with ice and 

 snow that the little sun we have does 

 not penetrate. Stock is short and be- 

 coming more so as the month goes on. 

 Carnations were plentiful after the 

 holidays, but are now cleaned up every 

 day, while roses have been scarce all 

 along, and the quality is poor in most 

 cases. 



Bulb stock, including trumpets and 

 yellow tulips, is now on the market 

 and. goes well at a good price. Paper 

 Whites have never been so plentiful, 

 and witk other flowers available they 

 are wasted by the thousand. The top 

 price for this stock is $2 per hundred, 

 but most of it is sold for much less. 

 Lilies are none too plentiful and the 

 demand is quite brisk. Peas, violets 

 and freesia sell well, but as yet the 

 freesia and peas are short-stemmed. 



Club Meeting. 



Thursday night, January 18, the 

 president of the Buffalo Florists' Club 

 was in the chair for the first time 

 since October. The meeting was ar- 

 ranged to hold a debate and also to 

 enjoy some pictures by Mr. Gillis. The 

 members turned out in good style and 

 the evening was enjoyed by everybody. 

 The debate was: Resolved, that more 

 skill is required in the arrangement 

 and disposal of flowers than in their 

 production. The affirmative was taken 

 by Eobert Scott and Mr. Savage, and 

 the negative by Charles Keitsch and 

 Joe Streit. The judges were Charles 

 Sandiford, William Kasting and Mr. 

 Adams. Many points were brought out 

 by both sides and the subject was 

 treated thoroughly. The decision was 

 a tie, the arguments being about 

 evenly balanced. Pictures were then 

 shown on the canvas by Mr. Gillis, and 

 these were most interesting. A vote of 

 thanks was given to Mr. Gillis for his 

 trouble and the pleasure he afforded the 

 members. The customary lunch was 

 served, and it is needless to say that 

 this was enjoyed. 



Various Notes. 



MIbs Hazel Adams, the young lady., 

 who was made manager of the B. M. 

 Bebstock Co., has mtide a gee^r^snceess 

 f ■ the store and gfi^es every ^omise 

 eeping the extensive business which 

 fss Rebstock left when she retired. 



ST. NICHOLAS 



We recommend St. Nicholas as an all season scarlet carnation. 



Not only is it grand at Xmas time, but it is fine in October and 

 June. 



You need only one variety in scarlet, if you will grow St. Nicholas. 



Wherever we have shown it, it has always been conceded to be 

 the best scarlet on show. 



Visitors at our place invariably substantiate this claim. 



What more can we do to convince you that St. Nicholas is the 

 finest scarlet in sight ? 



We are booked up to late February. Send in your order now, for 

 late February or early March.
