The Weekly Florists' Review^ 



February 2", 1902. 



TORONTO. 



Lent has opened witli a scarcely per- 

 ceptible difference in trade receipts. If 

 anything, the opening days of the fast- 

 ing season have seen an increased receipt 

 register at the clo.se of the day, and it's 

 not on account of any special events, 

 but owing tp a direct transient trade. 



St. Valentine's day there was an es- 

 pecially heavy sale on violets, that grace- 

 ful form of valentine taking a very 

 prominent part in the "heart's wishes" 

 sent by many a doting swain. 



The general trend of business is as I 

 have already intimated, leaning toward 

 an especially good season from now on, 

 and as there is every indication that 

 there will soon be plenty of everything, 

 this 3'ear should exceed, or at least equal, 

 the hopes of the most expansive of our 

 growers and retailers. 



The department stores are doing a big 

 business and I am pleased to note the 

 fact that they are not the cheapest 

 places in .the city to buy flowers, for 

 during the recent scarcity in roses they 

 could be bought outside of the big stores 

 cheaper by considerable than they were 

 ticketed there. It is beginning (con- 

 trary to the expectations of most of our 

 florists) to be understood that the de- 

 partment stores are not a detriment to 

 trade here, but have worked up a trade 

 all their own, a trade which the smaller 

 store man could never attract were he to 

 try ever so hard. True, they do per- 

 haps touch a line of the cheaper class 

 of society people, but the small retailer 

 is, I firmly believe, fully compensated 

 for any loss of his old-time customers by 

 the necessary attraction to the flower 

 line of the new class of buyers. 



Our big growers report cut roses and 

 carnations rather scarce. From Dale 

 of Brampton the report is: Carnations 

 and bulbous stuff fairly plentiful and 

 good ; but roses, though a good cut is 

 being taken off, scarce on account of 

 big demand ; violets enough and very 

 fine. 



Dunlop seems to be a little closer on 

 roses, but has some nice carnations, bul- 

 bous stock and violets, though the lat- 

 ter are not any too plentiful with him. 

 Eetail trade good. 



Dixon of London is sending the com- 

 mission house some nice carnations. 



The Toronto Floral Company and Mr. 

 W. Lawrence are both beginning to bring 

 in some nice roses and other cut flowers. 



C.W. 



Washington, D. C. — Xo finer speci- 

 mens of roses have ever been \ised at 

 the White House than the Ivories. 

 Bridesmaids and Beauties at the Presi- 

 dent's dinner to Prince Henry of Ger- 

 many. The contract was awarded to the 

 American Rose Company, and they se- 

 cured magnificent specimens of Amer- 

 ican Beauty from 8. S. Pennock, of 

 Philadelphia. The American Rose Com- 

 pany are cutting Ivory flowers almost 

 as large as a big Beauty.
