TpHIS New Fern^ when exhibited at the S. A. F. & O. H. Convention last 

 * August, received the following description: "Nephrolepis Dreyerii 

 has many good points which will render it popular. It makes a quick 

 growth, is compact, of good color, and stands considerable rough treat* 

 ment, adapting itself to almost any condition. It is of the Scottii type, 

 but not as stiff, the fronds drooping gracefully, giving the plant a very 

 attractive appearance."

BUFFALO. 



The Market. 



Typical March weather has prevailed, 

 but, much to our surprise, the coldest day 

 of the winter came last week. The tem- 

 perature dropped from 45 degrees to zero 

 in twenty-four . hours. Stock is being 

 used up to good advantage and with the 

 exception of bulbous stock there is not 

 much glut as yet. Bulbous stock, how- 

 ever, is thinning out, as the bulk of it is 

 nearly gone. Boses have a good call and 

 carnations, owing to St. Patrick's day, 

 were cleaned up. White were much in 

 demand and brought 4 cents for the best. 

 The Saturday sales cleaned up the bal- 

 ance. Last week was the spring opening 

 week for the stores, and it is reported 

 to have been a good thing for the florists. 

 Many flowering plants were used and not 

 so much of the palm stock, which takes a 

 lot of work and gives little profit. One 

 store used 125 azaleas and several other 

 large plants, all flowering. 



Various Notes. 



The regular meeting of the Florists' 

 Club will be held the first Tuesday in 

 April. The new oflScers will then be in- 

 stalled and a large attendance is looked 

 for. 



Several florists visited Buffalo last 

 week to attend the bowling congress. The 

 Buffalo boys also took part, but did not 

 get in the prize money. R. A. S. 



WWte Plains, N. Y. — James Davidson, 

 who for many years has been connected 

 with Arthur Dummett, Inc., has opened 

 a flower shop at' 11 Spring street, in the 

 store formerly occupied by the Dummett 

 company. 



••» , 



Auburn, N. Y.— Dobbs & Son have 

 found shipping tags effective means of 

 advertising in the retail end of their 

 business. They had the Dennison Mfg. 

 Co. prepare for them a handsome tag, 

 the reverse side of which carried an 

 illustration, or rather a series of illus- 

 trations, for one tag shows the exterior 

 of the greenhouses, another the new 

 plant just started for cut flowers, a 

 third the portraits of the firm members,
