NATHA^ SMITH & SON, ADRIAN, Mich. 



BERLIN. ONT. 



I suppose these are the first notes 

 that ever appeared in public from this 

 flourishing little town, and I trust 

 they may not be the last, but that as 

 the place increases in size the love of 

 flowers and the quantity of notes may 

 increase also. Should these latter de- 

 sirable events occur the florists' bank 

 account should increase in the same 

 ratio. 



There Is good ground to work on 

 here, but so far it has been sadly neg- 

 lected; flower.? have been grown in a 

 sort of spasmodic, happy-go-lucky sort 

 of way, and the people have bought 

 them, but no one so far seems to have 

 pushed the business or tried to culti- 

 vate the taste. 



Messrs. Kemenski & Stansbury have 

 up till lately had the business all to 

 themselves and they do quite a large 

 market and design trade along with 

 their extensive vegetable trade. Many 

 of the upper ten in Berlin, Waterloo 

 and the surrounding country, however, 

 seem to want something a little better 

 than they have been accustomed to, 

 and if Mr. Ewing, the recent new- 

 comer from Toronto, is any good he 

 should soon be able to work up a fair 

 trade. 



Chrysanthemums are of course the 

 principal stand-by just now. Mr. Ew- 

 ing is cutting some as good Ivories as 

 one can see anywhere; also some 

 Helen Bloodgoods, fine, large, salable 

 blooms. What is the matter with this 

 as a good pink? So far as I have seen 

 it is a good grower, not too lanky, 

 large, very handsome flower, of the 

 kind that takes with customers of the 

 feminine persuasion, and every bloom 

 on the bench is good, like Ivory. Has 

 anyone got anything against it? I 

 don't see it mentioned at all — Bonnaf- 

 fon is the best yellow I see. 



The plant trade here is fair; it can 

 probably be improved. People seem 

 to have a fad for Rex begonias, not a 

 first class house plant, either. A.
