The Weekly Florists' Review* 



Mabcr 16, 1911. 



BUFFALO. 



The Market. 



Lent has at last had a telling effect 

 on business, but not to such an extent as 

 to cause any considerable decline in the 

 market. Stock piled up somewhat, but 

 by Saturday, March 11, was nearly all 

 cleaned up, carnations and bulb stock be- 

 ing the leaders. Considerable funeral 

 work has kept white stock moving. Vio- 

 lets are becoming smaller and have 

 touched bottom prices. Beauties and Rich- 

 mond are about equal to the demand. 

 Lilies are plentiful and show a steady in- 

 crease right along. 



Plants are more in evidence every day 

 and will increase steadily until Easter. 

 Stock for Easter is in fine shape at most 

 places, but is not in as great variety as 

 is usually grown. The weather has been 

 warm for early March and, on account of 

 the bright sun, shading will be necessary 

 to hold azaleas this year, as the buds 

 swell rapidly at this season. A repetition 

 of last year's weather would be a heavy 

 blow to everyone. 



Various Notes. 



John Febelcorn, who has been in the 

 employ of S. A. Anderson since boyhood, 

 has embarked in business under his own 

 name. His store is located on Broadway, 

 and as he is a hustler he should make a 

 go of it. 



The one grand event of the Florists' 

 Club was celebrated March 7, when the 

 annual banquet was held at the Hofbrau 

 in connection with the regular meeting, 

 which included the election of oflScers 

 for the ensuing year. The crowd was a 

 surprise to everybody, the number being 

 seventy-four. This was gratifying and 

 in addition was the assurance of a lively 

 time. The program was splendidly ar- 

 ranged by the committee in charge and 

 the events moved along like clockwork. 

 William Kasting was toastmaster and 

 ably led the happy throng. Following 

 the dinner, a picture machine was in- 

 stalled and character pictures, drawn and 

 arranged by Mr. Gillia, were thrown on 

 the screen. This brought out rounds of 

 applause from the members. For four 

 hours the fun lasted and without a doubt 

 it was the most enjoyable affair ever 

 given by the Florists' Club. The election 

 resulted as follows: George McClure, 

 president; Joe Sangster, vice-president; 

 Jerome Deuscher, financial secretary; 

 William Legg, recording secretary; Chas. 

 Sandiford, treasurer. 



A number of florists, not content with 

 the celebration of the banquet, went to 

 Rochester, March 8, in acceptance of the 

 invitation from the Rochester Club for a 

 return bowling match. About fifteen 

 members were in the party. They were 

 heartily received and served to a fine 

 spread, after which all adjourned to the 

 alleys. Two weeks previously the Buffalo 

 boys trimmed Rochester for three games 

 at Buffalo and they repeated the victory 

 this trip in spite of the large scores of 

 the Rochester boys. Neubeck, of Buf- 

 falo, was high, with an average of J 88 

 for the three games. R. A. S.
