The Weekly Florists' Review*

BUFFALO. 



Business last week was rather quiet. 

 Stock is plentiful in all lines and prices 

 to suit the purchaser. Plants are scarce, 

 owing to the extremely hot weather, which 

 brought everything out with a rush. 



But few social functions were booked 

 last week, and funeral work was about 

 the extent of the trade. 



Never in the history of the trade have 

 Boston ferns been so scarce as they are 

 this year. The demand for this fern 

 has grown every year as the spring trade 

 approached, and this year the Bostons 

 appear to be scarce everywhere. 



Spring trade has opened rapidly this 

 season and cemetery work has started 

 early. The landscape men have had ex- 

 cellent weather and all report an active 

 trade. _E. A. S. 



ALVIN, TEX. 



Mrs. P. E. Nelson has sold her busi- 

 ness here to Mrs. Kalph W. Woodward 

 and removed to Galveston, where she ex- 

 pects to establish a retail flower store in 

 the near future. Mrs. "Woodward will 

 continue the business of raising flowers 

 for market. Mrs. Parker reports from 

 Galveston that she is growing stock on a 

 small scale prior to starting her store 

 and had sweet peas in the open ground 

 blooming in season for the Easter trade. 

 The seeds were planted the day after 

 Christmas. 



Easter stock shipped in was poor this 

 year, all the florists in this section losing 

 more or less, because the extreme heat 

 made the stock soft and it shipped 

 poorly. One lot of 500 Easter lilies even 

 resulted in the loss of two-fifths. 



The social season is at its height in 

 this section just after Easter and busi- 

 ness has been good, but the warm weather 

 will soon make flower buyers fly to the 

 mountains. 



The cape jasmine crop, for which 

 Alvin is famous, will be in good season 

 this year, owing to the mild winter and 

 early spring. 



The strawberry crop along the Alvin 

 coast country has been seriously damaged 

 by red spider, but the fa/mers are fight- 

 ing it in dead earnest now and perhaps 

 will save a part of the crop.

 dener, is erecting a greenhouse at his
