The Weekly Florists' Review. 



APRIL 13, 1S99. 



BERLIN, ONT. 



Easter has come and gone and this 

 little town did a larger cut flower 

 business than "has been." Lilies 

 were all cleared o£f early in the day at 

 15 cents and many more could have 

 been disposed of. No. 2 roses went oft" 

 lively at $1.50, but the people are hard- 

 ly educated up to No. I's at $2 and 

 $2.50 yet. Carnations were in great 

 demand at 50 and 60 cents; tulips, 

 all colors and sorts, went well at 40 

 cents; daffs were cleared out at 60 

 <ents and more could have been sold. 

 There was not a large demand for 

 plants and some spiraea were left 

 over. Most of the churches did a lit- 

 tle decorating, but nothing extensive 

 •was indulged in. At the annual bach- 

 elors' ball held at the Walper House 

 on the 7th almost as many roses and 

 carnations were sold as at Easter, 

 and there was a greater run on violets 

 than the supply could satisfy. The 

 town fairly outdid itself and will, I 

 suppose, have to start now and save 

 up for planting out time. 



Messrs. Gammage, McKenna, Ben- 

 nett and Scrim have had an interview 

 with the government concerning the 

 tariff question and ably set forth the 

 wishes of the trade in Canada as ex- 

 pressed by the Canadian Horticul- 

 tural Association. They were received 

 most courteously and think they made 

 an impression which will result in at 

 least a partial remedy for evils at 

 present existing. Gentle spring has 

 not arrived yet, but there are signs 

 that she may do so at any time now.

DENVER, COLO. 



A little vacation after a week's hard 

 work shows that the boys had not for- 

 gotten how to roll the balls, as the 

 score herewith given will demonstrate 

 Whether It was the good Easter trade 

 or the election returns that had such 

 an exhilarating effect upon them is 

 unknown, but one thing is sure, there 

 was not too much Johnson in the 

 crowd although Johnston was elected 

 next Mayor of Denver. 



Following are the scores:

A CIRCULAR has been issued by 

 the American Carnation Society invit- 

 ing subscriptions toward a permanent 

 fund, at which a start was made at 

 the Chicago meeting. Tlie society 

 starts this month with $-500 at inter- 

 est, and it is hoped to r,o increase this 

 fund that the revenue from it will 

 largely meet the running expenses of 

 the society.
