The Florists' Review 



June 5, 1913. 



BUFFALO. 



The Market. 



The Memorial day business this sea- 

 son without a doubt surpassed all 

 previous records. The weather was a 

 wonderful help, as the conditions were 

 ideal — not a sign of rain and not too 

 warm. The only drawback was the 

 scarcity of stock. Business started early 

 and the shipping orders were heavy. 

 Early advertising helped considerably 

 and had a telling effect when the day 

 came. It is estimated that 50,000 people 

 went into Forest Lawn cemetery and 

 many thousands into the other ceme- 

 teries on the east side and Pine Hill. 

 Every possible flower and plant was 

 brought to the front and stock was sold 

 the minute the commission man showed 

 it. Prices took a decided jump. Carna- 

 tions went from 3 cents to 5 cents in 

 one day, and other stock advanced in 

 proportion. The rush was so steady that 

 the advance was not so noticeable to 

 the people as it usually is, due only to 

 the fact that they feared there would 

 not be enough to go around. Some re- 

 tailers who sell geraniums at 15 cents 

 other days raised to 25 cents for small 

 stock, which looked to some like taking 

 advantage of the public. E. A, S.

Decision in the suit of equity begun 

 by Mabel A. Baur and S. Alfred Baur 

 against William F. Kasting, charging 

 that the latter did not fulfill his agree- 

 ment in a transaction eight years ago, 

 will be made by Judge Walling proba- 

 bly this week. Arguments were heard 

 May 31. 



The complainants allege that when 

 twenty acres of land near Twenty-sixth 

 street and Washington avenue were 

 given to Mr, Kasting, as trustee, dur- 

 ing a business reorganization, he took 

 it over conditionally. They say the 

 property was to be sold to parties 

 named by Mabel Baur within five years 

 or returned to original owners on de- 

 mand. Mr. Kasting denied that de- 

 mands were made on him and said that 

 by paying debts against the property 

 he acquired title. Mr. Baur contends 

 that what Mr. Kasting paid toward the 

 property was gained from property pro- 

 ceeds and was not advanced from Mr. 

 Kasting 's personal funds. Mr. Baur 

 alleges that Mr. Kasting advanced no 

 money and has no claim against the 

 property, but is willing to have the 

 court decide what his compensation 

 shall be as trustee of the estate. Mr. 

 Baur demands the return of the prop- 

 erty. 



Fairmont, W. Va. — Lee Yost is now 

 proprietor of the business formerly con- 

 ducted by the late H. Glenn Fleming, 

 with a store at 1409 Ninth street.
