The Weekly Florists* Review. 



FEBRUARY 2, 1S99. 



TORONTO. 



The Toronto Horticultural Society 

 held its annual meeting January 11. 

 Officers for the ensuing year were 

 elected as follows: President. Henry 

 Lucas; first vice-president. E. E. Tyr- 

 rell; second vice-president, Thomas 

 McQueen; secretary, C. E. cuambers. 

 Directors: Dr. Orr, G. D. Manton. A. 

 G Chambers. E. F. Collins. J. McP. 

 Ross, G. H. Mills, E. Utley, Hermann 

 Simmers, and George R. Copping. Au- 

 ditors: W. H. Hall and T. F. Hire. 

 Representatives on Industrial Exhibi- 

 tion Board: Dr. J. Orr and Hermann 

 Simmers. 



The secretary and treasurer report- 

 ed satisfactory progress during the 

 past year. Thirteen meetings were 

 held, eighteen new members enrolled, 

 and the balance on hand is $29.19. 



It was decided to ask the Electoral 

 District Society for a grant, and the 

 Industrial Exhibition Association to 

 increase the society's representation 

 on the board, on which there are now 

 two members. The secretary was 

 voted $25, and thanks were expressed 

 to Messrs. Manton and Mills for serv- 

 ices in collecting and distributing 

 plants in connection with the school 

 children's chrysanthemum show; also 

 to the City Council for use of the 

 chamber. 



A CURIOUS FREAK. 



Among the curiosities sent us is a 

 photograph from Mr. Jno. J. Copley, 

 Attica. N. Y., showing a flower of 

 Nymphaea zanzibarensis rosea, in 

 which the calyx is attached to the 

 stem about eight inches below the 

 flower, instead of in its normal posi- 

 tion. The flower is perfect except 

 for the absence ot the calyx. 



A COPY ot Dreer's Garden Calen- 

 dar for 1899 has been received from 

 H. A. Dreer, Philadelphia. It seems 

 needless to commemt upon it, as every- 

 one knows what a complete catalogue 

 this -well-known firm issues. This 

 year's issue contains 168 pages and 

 cover. Upon the cover appear em- 

 bossed in colors a graceful group of 

 new nasturtiums and some spikes of 

 montbretias. We agree wiiu Messrs. 

 Dreer that the montbretias should be 

 more largely used, and we believe that 

 florists who have a retail trade would 

 find them very useful as a summer 

 flower. Anyone who has not received 

 a copy of the catalogue named may 

 secure one by addressing the firm as 

 above.

UNCLE WALTER -This IS another one of 

 Tidal Wave's many sports and I presume it is the 

 same and just as good as any of its other ones. I 

 can vouch for its goodness and that it is a scarlet 

 sport from Tidal Wave. Rooted Cuttings can be 

 had at $5.00 per 100 or $40.00 per 1000, either from

The MODEL Extension Carnation Support. 



Read what some of our best growers say concerning: it. 

 Buffalo. N. y., Jan. 13. iSqq. 



Theron Parker. Dear Sir; — Your Model Carnation 

 Support is the best thing I have yet tried. In fact, it is 

 about ideal. I used it this winter on Scotts, Flora Hill, 

 Mrs, Beal and Genessee. The principle is perfect, but 

 experience may teach us that in some \arieties, for in- 

 stance, Daybreak, the lower ring might \nth advantage 

 be two inches lower. If could afford tlie first cost, at 

 once, I would not think of using anything but the 

 "Model." Very respectfully yours, William Scott. 

 Other testimonials will appear weekly. Write for prices.
