TORONTO. 



Club Meeting. 



After i^eveial months' vacation the 

 Toronto Gardeners' and Florists' Socie- 

 ty has resumed operations. On Tuesday 

 evening last we opened the season with 

 a social evening. President Lawrence 

 was in the chair, and although the at- 

 tendance was small the boys that did 

 attend were treated to a good, exciting 

 time for a few moments. One of our 

 prominent members took exception to 

 the reports sent a couple of the Amer- 

 ican papers by their Toronto correspond- 

 ents, and unfortunately before thrashing 

 out the question thoroughly unnecessa- 

 ry personalities were indulged in. There 

 will evidently have to be a further in- 

 vestigation into the facts of the case 



before either side can be considered in 

 the right. 



As a personally uninterested party 

 and being present at the time of argu- 

 ment, knowing nothing of the ease pre- 

 viiMi-ly. It ;ip|,i..ii .; til 1110 that the ques- 

 limi :ii I--1I.' J-: sli.iiild the paid eni-

It was decided to hold another chrys- 

 anthemum and ro.se show this fall, dat- 

 ing from Nov. 13 (Wednesday) to 10 

 (Saturday). It seems to be the feeling 

 that this will be the best show we have 

 had yet, and as good, live committees 

 will be appointed to look after all de- 

 tails wc expect full entries with rousing 

 attendance. 



We would be pleased could a few en- 

 tries be enticed from the other side of 

 the line, and any growers who would 

 care to take a chance with us will find 

 that they will receive fair and clean 

 judgment for anything sent over in 

 competition. Or should our cousins not 

 feel inclined to risk sending stock all 

 this way for competition it would paj' 

 to send a display vase of any thing • new, 

 be it only for the advertising. 



Our genial secretary, Wm. Jay, Jr., 

 florist, Spadina avenue, Toronto, would 

 be pleased to forward an entry list to 

 anyone who thinks it worth while to 

 drop him a card to that effect. 



The Market. 



The stock coming in the past week 

 has been of a very inferior grade; it 

 seems as though every one is unfortu- 

 nately off crop. Eoses, particularly the 

 white ones, have been very scarce. Car- 

 nations have really not started to 'show 

 themselves. Asters are nearly done, the 

 cold, damp spotting them badly. The 

 only redeeming feature being dahlias, 

 which have been plentiful at f 1.00 per 

 hundred; very fine specimens have been 

 sent in by many of the growers. 



The visit of their Royal Highnesses 

 the Duke and Duchess of York, has 

 created quite a furor in Canada, and as 

 we expect them here in a week or so are 

 preparing to practically illustrate to 

 their excellencies that this, the queen 

 city of Canada, is loyal to the core and 

 quite capable of expressing that senti- 

 ment. There are some very fine tri- 

 umphant arches in course of erection on 

 which the electrical effects promise to 

 surpass anything of its kind ever seen 

 here. 



While they were in Montreal the de- 

 mand for cut flowers, we hear, greatly 

 exceeded the supply; we consequently 

 look for a rush in our line of trade on 

 their appearance here. C. W. 



New Bedford, Mass. — The last out- 

 ing of the South Bristol Farmers' Club 

 was held at the home of Mr. F. H. Pasell, 

 the florist and gardener, at Mt. Pleasant. 

 The chief interest was in Mr. Pasells 

 extensive greenhouses and vegetable gar- 

 dens. In the greenhouses are 4,000 

 thrifty looking carnations. Stem rot is 

 the only enemy they have, and Mr. Pasell 

 thinks of sterilizing his soil next year. 

 There are four acres in vegetables and 

 immense crops are raised. "Brains, mus- 

 cle and fertilizer," are the trinity that 

 Mr. Pasell depends upon. From 100 to 

 150 tons of stable dressing are applied 

 annually to each acre.
