The Weekly Florists^ Review, 



AUGUST IS. 1S9S. 



TORONTO. 



heavy thunder showers last week 

 (too heavy in some localities). The 

 drought is getting very serious for 

 those who cannot use the hose, and 

 even l:or those who can, for after all 

 the hose does not take the place of 

 rain; it just keeps things going. 

 Leaves are falling off the trees as if it 

 were fall. 



I much regretted being unable to at- 

 tend the cricket match last Wednes- 

 day, having been out of town on that 

 day. Every one who was there, how- 

 ever, says that they spent a most en- 

 joyable afternoon. The match was 

 between "Tom Manton's team" and 

 "George Manton's team" (these two 

 gentlemen having picked their players 

 from those present), and was duly re- 

 ported in next morning's paper. 

 George Manton's team won. 



Mrs. Manton, aged 83, crossed the 

 Atlantic to see her two boys and ar- 

 rived in this city safe, sound and 

 hearty as a "two-year-old" last week. 

 She thought the people in this country 

 generally very skinny looking, but 

 was very pleased to shake hands with 

 John Chambers, as he was the first 

 comfortable looking man she had 

 come across. John carries consider- 

 able adipose tissue about with him. 



I am sorry I have been unable to 

 report concerning the various florists' 

 places round here lately, having been 

 so busy at home on account of the dry 

 weather, but I hope to be able to get 

 round to most of them during this and 

 next month. 



Matters concerning the convention of 

 the Canadian Horticultural Association 

 will be discussed at the first meeting 

 of the season of the G. & F. Associa- 

 tion, on Tuesday next, and all ar- 

 rangements completed. The conven- 

 tion meets September 7th for two days. 



The Industrial Exhibition will be 

 open from August 29th to September 

 10th. The last week is always the 

 best. E. 



MIL-WAUKEE. 



About 150 florists and their families 

 came upon the steamer Virginia 

 Thursday afternoon and were taken 

 in tow at the Milwaukee end by some 

 of the leading Milwaukee florists. 

 Upon arrival of the steamer the band 

 played "There'll be a hot time" and it 

 proved such considering the snort time 

 spent in the city. The boat arrived at 

 2:30 and shortly after all visitors were 

 put on special chartered cars and 

 given a trolley ride around the city 

 accompanied by the band. The party 

 wound up at the Pabst Brewery and 

 managed to leave there in time to 

 catch the boat returning at 4:30. A 

 visit to one of the parks was also 

 contemplated but the attractions at 

 the brewery seemed to take up all the 

 allotted time for the entire visit.
