. Florists' review [microform]. Floriculture. 96 The Florists^ Review Suftbmbeb 29, 1919. BUFFALO, N. Y. The Market. Market conditions continue mainly inactive. In fact, it is surprising that the market should be slow for so long a time after a particularly good summer. About the only activity is funeral work, an occasional wedding and now and then an entertainment decoration. Counter sales, which usually begin to increase at this time of year, are so few that they are not worth mentioning. Most counter sales are made to the working class of people and the fewness of them at this time is thought by some to be due to the high prices of everyday neces- sities. It is thought that when the public has become used to the higher price level, counter sales will again piay an important part in the day's busi- ness. As cooler weather comes, stock im- proves in quality. During the week a fair supply of American Beauty roses has been handled. Other roses, white excepted, have moved extremely slowly. White roses have not been plentiful, only enough arriving to supply the de- mand for fall weddings. Some Easter lilies have appeared, but they are not in sufficient quantity to be of impor- tance. What have come in have sold for $3 per dozen. Asters are good and have been steady in price since the large supply of poor ones has been eliminated. Gladioli are plentiful, but show a marked decrease in supply. Calendulas, cosmos and centaureas are slow at 15 cents per bunch of twenty-five. Fancy ferns have advanced slightly. Aspara- gus is equal to the demand. Various Notes. Roman Olrzewski is reported seriously ill. Most of the shops are again open on Sunday. The Cleveland cherry will play an im- port part in the Christmas plant list. Many plantings of these are in fine con- dition. F. P. A. Jackson, Miss.—The Misses Cabaniss have purchased the entire business of the J. U. McKay Floral Co. and the business of that company and of the Misses Cabaniss are now conducted by the Misses Caban
