BUFFALO, N. T. 



Tbe Market. 



Business was fairly good last week. 

 Funeral work, however, has been the 

 bulk of the trade, although there were 

 several informal dinners, etc. Tulips, 

 daffodils and jonquils are overabundant, 

 but the retail price is normal. Carna- 

 tions continue to come into the market 

 in fine condition. Boses are more plen- 

 tiful, but the price is still up. Hya- 

 cinths, azaleas and Japanese apple trees 

 are finding ready sale. Cut ferns, as- 

 paragus and smilax are to be had in 

 quantity. 



The department stores, shoe stores 

 and millinery shops have begun witB 

 their spring openings, thus making a 

 market for all sorts of plants and 

 flowers. 



Bowling. 



Twenty-eight of the Rochester flo- 

 rists were entertained at a banquet at 

 Messenger 's hotel, March 4, by the Buf- 

 falo Florists' Club. The Eoche'Ster boys 

 were met by a reception committee, 

 who took them in autos on a tour of 

 inspection to Williamsville, J. J. Al- 

 bright's conservatories, S. A. Ander- 

 son's greenhouses and other places of 

 interest. Dinner was served at 7:30 

 and the table decorations were most un- 

 usual in arrangement and selection of 

 flowers. Spray orchids used with cat- 

 tleyas and Killarney roses arranged 

 upon three large standards alternating 

 with low plateaux made a fetching deco- 

 ration. 



S. A. Anderson made an excellent 

 toastmaster. The address of welcome 

 was made by Wallace Eiss, president of 

 the Buffalo Florists' Club. The speak- 

 ers were John Dunbar, "William J. 

 Palmer, George B. Hart, William F. 

 Kasting, Bichard Salter, Stephen J. Ma- 

 honey, Henry Bates and others. Vocal 

 solos and instrumental music added a 

 great deal of gaiety to the occasion. 

 The menu was sumptuous and every- 

 body had a good time. 



At 9 o'clock all went up to the bowl- 

 ing alleys for the great match game. 

 The Buffalo boys again were victorious 

 in carrying away the Lord & Burnham 

 trophy. During the course of the even- 

 ing, however, the trophy disappeared, 

 but turned up in the morning by ex- 

 press from Bochester with a note of 

 explanation from George B. Hart. 

 Everybody had a most glorious time at 

 the match game. The score was:

It was with deep regret that the 

 trade learned of the death of Mrs. WU-

 March 3, after a siege of pneumonia 

 and heart trouble. Quite a number of
