BERLIN, ONT. 



The Toronto Show. 



Having been connected with the 

 ^ Toronto chrysanthemum shows since 

 the first one, of course I had to take 

 a run up to see the last one. As re- 

 gards the show, it showed no signs of 

 falling off, and was fully up to the 

 mark — perhaps better in the quality 

 of bloom. The roses were certainly 

 bigger and larger; grafted stock. I 

 expect. Messrs. Dale, Dunlop and the 

 North Toronto Floral Co. were, as 

 usual, the chief exhibitois. And the 

 orchids were simply magnificent, two 

 great banks of them being set up in 

 natural style on each side of the stage 

 and another in the middle. Manton 

 Bros., Exhibition Park and Horticul- 

 tural Gardens, were the prize win- 

 ners. As regards attendance, owing 

 to bad weather and other causes I 

 am afraid the show was not a suc- 

 cess; but no doubt your Toronto cor- 

 respondent will give full particulars. 

 I was unable to stay and see the fin- 

 ish. I should mention, though, that 

 I was very glad to note that the Hor- 

 ticultural Society exhibit was much 

 larger and better than last year, and 

 created much interest. 



Trade Conditions. 



Two or three weddings, two or three 

 debutantes debuting, and a large fu- 

 neral have made things pretty lively 

 here for the florist lately, the only 

 thing to be found fault with being 

 prices; but these, it is to be hoped, 

 will improve as flowers become a ne- 

 cessity to the progressive housewife.

Death of H. Prey. 



Mr. H. Frey, of the firm of Kastner 

 «: Frey, died Nov. 22 as the result of a 

 terrible scalding with steam and hoc 

 water. 



Mr. Frey, assisted by J. Williams, an 

 employe of the firm, was attempting 

 to transfer steam from one boiler to 

 another, when a plug blew out, the 

 escaping steam and water completely 

 enveloping him. He was taken to a 

 hospital and all that was possible was 

 done to relieve his sufferings, but he 

 was so seriously scalded that his in- 

 juries were necessarily fatal and he 

 died soon after. 



Mr. Williams was also badly injured 

 and it is feared he may lose one eye, 

 but otherwise his case is not serious. 



Mr. Frey was the son of H. H. Frey, 

 ot Lincoln, Neb., and the remains were 

 taken to that city for interment. 



The deceased was popular in the 

 trade and his untimely taking off is 

 deeply deplored.

A WINDMILL SCHEME. 



A Long Island subscriber writes that 

 a man is visiting the growers who 

 agrees to repair windmills for a cer- 

 tain sum, and on the plea of buying 

 material secures some money on ac- 

 count and fails to return. He desires 

 to warn others against this party.
