However, in spite of drawbaeks, so far 

 as can be learned, business was very sat- 

 isfactory all around. Almost everything 

 in the way of good plants was easily dis- 

 ])osed of iind at };"<"1 prices. The same 

 may be said of cut llowcrs. In plants, 



the (juality, wilh ..im- .h i\\r, exceptions.

 azaleas, snowballs, genistas, etc., were in 

 limited supply, but there is not a big de- 

 imiiid for them here.

There was very little nuule up work in 

 baskets this year. Montreal has not got 

 educated to that yet, but I suppose it is 

 the florists' own fault for not offering 

 tastefully made up baskets, etc., of 

 plants. Palms or ferns were not in de- 

 mand and dcutzias were not liked. In

 increase, and Wright, who opened a 

 store last year, had an extra store for 

 plants and did a big business in both, 

 especially in lilies. Graham Bros, were 

 strong in lilies also. They had a big 

 stock of azaleas, which were mostly all 

 sold.
