The Weekly Florists' Review. 



OCTOBEK 24, 1901. 



TORONTO. 



The Market. 



The demand for cut llowers this past 

 week has been a considerable improve- 

 ment on the trade of previous few 

 weeks. Stock has been more plentiful 

 with more of it than for some time back, 

 the quality also being improved. Mums 

 are just nicely starting, most of the 

 early varieties coming in fairly plenti- 

 ful. Roses have been good, not an over 

 supply, though, Brides and Maids par- 

 ticularly being fine, of which both Dun- 

 lop and Dale are about equal as far 

 as quality goes. 



There are still a few nice dahlias be- 

 ing brought in by Tattle, his plants be- 

 ing protected from the frosts of the last 

 week by orchards in which a number 

 of his dahlias are planted. Some nice 

 Meteors have been sent in by Walter 

 Muston. 



We noted some splendid specimen 

 Boston ferns grown by Mr. Geo. HoUis 

 in some of the down town stores. Mr. 

 Hollis can grow ferns all right. 



A Visit. 



1 had the pleasure of visiting the 

 conservatories of Messrs. Grobba & Wan- 

 drey of Mimico, and seeing their array 

 of bulbs for mnter forcing. Just four 

 years ago, about this time of the year, 

 I paid a visit to these same men and 

 found their establishment consisted of a 

 single house half buried in the ground, 

 100 by 18 feet; today they have by 

 faithful adherence to business and care- 

 ful and scientific growing of stock in- 

 creased their glass to over 50,000 square 

 feet. They have been undoubtedly the 

 most thrifty (call it lucky if you wish) 

 growers in the close vicinity of Toronto 

 within the past few years. Their bulb 

 list will include 300,000 tulips, 32,000 

 daffs, 12,000 hyacinths (Dutch), 15.000 

 Romans, 15,000 paper whites, and 20,- 

 000 freesia. The latter bulbs are raised 

 by themselves from seed. 



Club Meeting. 



The Toronto Gardeners' and Florists' 

 Association met last Tuesday evening, 

 the principal business being connected 

 with the mum show next month. Com- 

 mittees were appointed to look after 

 the different arrangements necessary, 

 etc. C. W. 



FT. WAYNE, IND. 



Trade for the past week has been re- 

 markably good. A number of weddings 

 having occurred and the weather being 

 fine has made a good demand for flow- 

 ers. For as a rule trade is much bet- 

 ter in the fall of the year if we have 

 bright days. The cool nights have im- 

 proved the quality of the flowers, espe- 

 cially roses and carnations. 



Carnation plants have picked up and 

 are in a better condition this fall than 

 usual for this season of the year. 



Recent visitors : Mr. Noll, of the Day- 

 ton Folding Box Co.: Mr. Byers, of the 

 Dayton Paper Novelty Co.; Wm. Tril- 

 low, representing J. C. Vaughan. 



M. S. V. 



Richmond, Ind. — A brand new Si- 

 pound challenge boy has arrived at the 

 home of Mr. John A. Evans. John's 

 advent into the nursery business seems 

 to have met with as brilliant success 

 as his ventilators.
