The Market. 



'I'ii. 'ul'i. -idriiiy weather eoutiuiios 

 aii'l li;(> lici'ii ii liii; lirawbaek to busi 

 )ie>- si IMC the lirst ot the year. With 

 tlie cxrejitiou of a few days last week 

 AAheii tlie teiii]ieratur<' ro«e nearly to 

 the' free/iuy point, we lia\e liad con 

 tiiiuous ■stormy weatiier. Many days 

 the glass is so coM'ied with ice aud 

 snow that the little sun we have docs 

 not peuetrate. Stocls is short aud be- 

 coming more so as the month goes on. 

 ('arnations were plentiful after the 

 holidays, but are now cleaned up every 

 day. while roses have been sctiree all 

 along, and the quality is ]ioor 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 with other flowers available they 

 are wasted I'v the thousand. The top 

 price for this stoek is $2 per hundred, 

 but most of it is sold for much less. 

 Fiilies are none too plentiful and the 

 demand is quite brisk. Peas, violets 

 and freesia sell well, but as yet the 

 freesi.'i and peas are short stemmed. 



Club Meeting. 



I'hur-'iay night, January 18, the 

 president oi' the Buffalo Florists' Club 

 was in the ebair for the first time 

 since Oetober. The meeting was ar- 

 rangeil to hold a debate and also to 

 enjoy <ome pictures by Mr. Gillis. The 

 members turned out in good style and 

 the exeniiig was enjoyed by everybody. 

 The debate was: Resolved, that more 

 skill i- required in the arrangement 

 and disposal of dowers than in their 

 produetion. The afiirmative was taken 

 by Robert Scott and Mr. Savage, and 

 the negative by Charles Keitsch and 

 ■Toe Strcit. 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 ^^r. 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. 



Miss Hazel Adams, the young lady 

 who was made manager of the E, M. 

 Rebstock Co., has made a good success 

 of the store and gives every promise 

 of keeping the extensive business which 

 Miss Eebstock left when she retired.

Not only is it grand ;it Xmas time, but it is line in October and 

 June. 



You neetl only one variety in scarlet, if you will grow St. Nitiholas. 



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

 the best scarlet on show. 



Visitors at our place invariably substantiate this claim. 



What more can we clo to convince you that St. Nicliolas is the 

 finest scarlet in sight?
