The Weekly Florists' Review. 



SEPTEMBER 22, 1898. 



ST. JOHN, N. B. 



The fiftli annual exhibition of tlie 

 St. John Horticultural Society was lit'ltl 

 on the 6th, 7th and Sth inst. in the 

 St. Andrews Rink, which was taste- 

 fully decorated for the occasion. The 

 show proved a decided success and the 

 entries and exhibits were far ahead of 

 any previous shows held by this young 

 society. 



The center attraction was a miscel- 

 laneous collection of stove and green- 

 house plants from the pubMc gardens, 

 the most prominent being a large and 

 well flowered Bougainvillea glabra, 

 also an extra tine specimen of Aspara- 

 gus Sprengeri; gloxinias were also 

 good and reflected great credit on C. C. 

 Knott, Supt., who also exhibited over 

 forty named varieties of sweet peas 

 and a collection of hardy perennials. 



For a collection of plants, 50 sq. ft., 

 arranged for effect, D. Mcintosh se- 

 cured 1st prize, also the silver cup. 

 with H. E. Goold, "Sussex." 2nd, and 

 Wm. McLean 3rd. In the other classes 

 competition was keen, among the most 

 prominent being Messrs. McLean. 

 Mcintosh, Peterson, Goold, etc. The 

 amateur classes were all well filled. 



The chrysanthemum show is to be 

 held the 2nd week in November.

TORONTO. 



Miller & Son. Bracondale. have ad- 

 ded two houses, one 18x300 and one 

 18x225, for that good carnation, Bride 

 of Earlscourt. 



H. Dale has two 200-foot houses of 

 Meteors that promise to beat the rec- 

 ords. Two houses, each 19x600. were 

 added this summer for Brides. The 

 entire stock is up to the usual high 

 standard at this place. 



John Dunlop has added 30.000 feet of 

 glass to his extensive range this sum- 

 mer and will need his ever watchful 

 eye more than ever to detect a weed 

 here or to disbud there. 



The brick drainage has proved a suc- 

 cess for adiantums. All his benches 

 for this fern are built thus and now 

 such a thing as a snail is unknown. 

 I do not remember ever seeing a finer 

 lot of cuneatums at this season. 



Chas. Tidy did not exhibit any de- 

 signs at the exposition this season 

 owing to scarcity of good stock. He is 

 usually a very successful exhibitor.

Ht'NT'S REVIEW OP THE CHICAGO MAR- 

 KET. 



It gives us pleasure to say that the past 

 ■week has been decidedly better, both as re- 

 gards the volume of business and the quality 

 of the stock sent in. ' " " ' 



made itself manifest 

 feet upon the flower business. 



Beauties continue to !mI'r.^^■f■. both in size 

 and color. In Mai. is an.l llii.l-s some realty 

 fine blooms art- ii-w l.-iim .tit. :ti..ui?li propor- 

 tion of such i? -till .itiit.- -mail, .wing to the 

 prevalence of iiiil.i.:-\\ with maiij- growers. 

 Perles are good and Meteors fair. Carnations 

 ■are coming more freely and of much better 

 quality. 



Some outdoor stock is being received, but 

 .in lesser quantities, consisting mainly of as- 

 ters, gladioli, dahlias and Golden Rod. GrHen
