 Musee on the 27th. Every rose grower 

 in the country should be represented 

 there. There are so many meetings to 

 be held in this city in connection with 

 one flower or anolher, that a large 

 crowd of visitors is expected.

The Market. 



The week past waa a very change- 

 able one in many respects, as seen 

 with a floral eye. The weather was 

 particularly that way, varying from 

 summer heat and dusts to winter's 

 bleakest, and one of our wettest rains 

 chased a vigorous snowstorm out of 

 our borders in a way full of points for 

 the burghers. 



The first half of the week did a brisk 



business for us and we all wore our 

 blandest smile. But that rain damped 

 off everything for a couple of days ex- 

 cept a fair movemert on funeral trade, 

 and although Satuiday did its very 

 best it could not retrieve the lost 

 ground. 



Red roses draggtd the hardest. Small 

 sizes of other eo'.ors sold fairly well 

 and white were scare? Saturday. Hold- 

 ers of large ones wanted more than 

 buyers were willing to pay. 



Carnations in light colors went well 

 enough all the week, darker ones at 

 times being too plentiful. Violets are 

 right where they may be expected at 

 this date — a rising wave of them loom- 

 ing before us. Jonquils got very fa- 

 miliar during the middle of the week, 

 but drifted away later. Fine white for 

 finishing funeral work was called for. 

 Ncwi Notes. 



News items did not come my way 

 and had no time to go after them. 



Mr. Elliott made his appearance upon 

 his old beat around the city the llrst 

 of the week, his strong appearance ■ 

 calling forth congratulations from his 

 friends. He has intere.sting reminis- 



I, i ii his two weeks' hospital ex- 

 periences, where a highly successful 

 operation was performed upon him for 

 one of the worst cases of appendicitis, 

 so he was told. 



Grippe has a firm held of the profes- 

 sion and members aie not signing the 

 pledge very copiously just now. 



May not a list of the awards at our 

 trade exhibition be of value to your 

 readers, since an account of the show 

 dodged your columns?
