The Weekly Florists* Review. 



TORONTO. 



Flowers were scarce and the quality 

 very poor last week, and the retailers 

 had very little stock in trade. The only 

 outdoor flower of value now is the 

 dahlia. Koses are improving this week 

 and prospects are brighter "all around. 

 Prices here now ru!«> sonicuhat higher 

 on roses than in llir I niidl Stafos, but 

 our rates do not -^ n -m nnirli liij^lier in 

 winter and at liolnhu liim- :is yours do. 



During the pn.l ur,-k tlir.c'has been 

 an amusing controversy over a proposi- 

 tion to expend $50 for a bouquet to be 

 presented by the city to the Duchess of 

 York on her arrival here. One would 

 imagine that the amount involved was 

 $5,000 instead of .$50. It was eventually 

 decided to have one of the public park 

 employees make up a bunch to be com- 

 posed of flowers gathered from the city's 

 gardens and conservatories. One of our 

 worthy aldermen humorously suggested 

 that the Horticultural Gardens be pre- 

 sented instead of a bouquet, and we 

 would further suggest that a bow and 

 streamers of carpet beds be added, and 

 that as a finishing touch the mayor and 

 council be attached to the edges, forming 

 a shower bouquet of the job lot. C. W. " 



WASHINGTON. 



Business the past week has been a 

 record breaker for the season. Stock is 

 scarce, prices high and sales good. Prices 

 for the past week have been: Brides, $4 

 to $C; Maids and Perles, $3 to $6; La 

 France, $6 to $8; Beauties, $25 to $50. 

 The demand for dahlias has been unus- 

 ually large this season, with prices rang- 

 ing from 50 cents to $3 per 100. Violets 

 are showing up but are poor and go 

 slow at $2 per 1,000. Carnations go well 

 at $1.50 to $2. ^ 



On account of the cool weather people 

 are returning from their vacations, 

 which has increased the call for palms 

 and ferns. 



Stem rot has appeared in the carna- 

 tion houses of the various establishments 

 in sufficient quantity to make the boys 

 feel somewhat uneasy.

GRAND RAPIDS, MICH. 



The last week of September was 

 marked for its warm summer weather, 

 high winds, clouds of dust and brisk 

 opening of fall business. We have had 

 no ram for weeks and everything is dry- 

 ing up, but as carnations are mostly all 

 housed, except where building is going 

 on, no damage is resulting. 



Carnations inside are beginning to 

 bloom but are short of meeting the active 

 demand, particularly in shipping orders. 

 Roses are in crop and equal to the de- 

 mand. Asters are about over. The vio- 

 let season was ushered in this week by 

 the appearance of a few bunches picked 

 by each of the numerous ^^olet growers 

 around town. 



Henry Smith has just finished plantinsr 

 his new 170-foot house. 



Henry Van Velden, Henry Smith's 

 foreman, and the writer visited N. B. 

 Stover Grandville. He has torn down 

 the old detached hou.ses and rebuilt in 

 one range. He expects to have them 

 finished and in fine shape in a couple of 

 weeks. His carnations and violets look 

 fine. He will begin shipping this week.
