after critical illnesa. It will be many 

 weeks before complete recovery is possi- 

 ble. 



Alex. McConuell's nursery department 

 at New Eochelle is doing a tree-mendous 

 business this spring. His rhododendron, 

 retinospora and blue spruce blocks have 

 been greatly depleted and several large 

 landscape contracts will use up most of 

 his surplus. The Arcade store utilizes 

 all of his forsythia, double flowering Jap- 

 anese varieties of shrubs and trees and 

 the new varieties of ramblers. 



George Cotsonas & Co. contemplate en- 

 larging their store at 50 West Twenty- 

 *ighth street. Mr. Cotsonas says this 

 has been his banner year and he has 

 •Joubled his force of helpers.

BUFFALO. 



The Market. 



Although late with the Easter report, 

 I want to say that business from all re- 

 ports was good. The weather conditions 

 could not have been worse, especially the 

 latter part of the week. The beginning 

 of the week brightened up fine and we 

 had happy thoughts of sending the plants 

 out with little protection. Friday came 

 with snow on the ground, which lasted all 

 day, snowing and blowing a gale of sixty 

 miles an hour. Saturday the temperature 

 went down and parts of the day we had 

 10 degrees of frost. But business was 

 good in spite of the weather, and every- 

 thing sold well. Lilies were scarce and 

 nearly everyoody was looking for open 

 lilies to fill orders on Easter morning. 

 Cut stock did not seem to sell as well as 

 other years. Violets were poor with 



nearly everybody, but sweet peas and 

 valley were in fine shape. 



Various Notes. 



Friday night, April 10, fire broke out 

 two doors from the Lenox Flower Shop 

 and for a time it looked as if things were 

 going to do a lot of harm to the Easter 

 stock. Mr. Cloudsley was all prepared for 

 the worst, but fortunately nothing serious 

 happened except a little water in his 

 cellar. 



President Slattery was in the chair at 

 the last meeting of the Florists' Club and 

 selected his different committees for the 

 ensuing year. E. A. S. 



HooPESTON, III. — Andrew Peterson 

 has purchased the interest of his partner 

 in the business of Peterson & Lawrence, 

 and will hereafter go it alone. 



Upton, Mass. — During the wind storm 

 of April 8, some of the sashes were torn 

 from the frames at A. A. Bowker 's place, 

 and smashed to pieces.
