Tia<l(> (liirinjj; tlic past wcvk has l««ii 

 e.viteptioiinlly {xooil from a llorist's .'it.aiui- 

 poinl, and without exemption, all th(> re- 

 tail men spoken to ihirinf:; the week liave 

 nothini,' but good reports of the amount 

 of Imsiness they are doing. Wie are very 

 glad that this is the ca.se, and it speaks 

 volumes for the growth of lloriculture in 

 and around Toronto. In Canada a few 

 years ago flowers were looked ujion as a 

 luxury, but they now seem (o be elassed 

 along with the neeessilies, and no soeial 

 funetion is eonsidered oomplete without 

 them. 



Chni'santhemums are still in the lead, 

 and we are now seeing some of the finer 

 varieties eoming in. Violets have im- 

 proved much, in quality, as well as in 

 quantity, and the demand seems to keep 

 them pretty well picked up. Roses and 

 carnations are in fair supply, but we 

 expect a short,age in roses very soon now, 

 as we hear that most of the growers. are 

 cutting hack their best houses to liave 

 them in for the holidays. 



A visit to Dunlop's conservatories a 

 few days ago showed the stock looking up 

 to the mark, especially his carnations, 

 of which he has some' twenty odd new 

 varieties that look very promising. Mv. 

 Dunlop is very reticent about condemn- 

 ing any varieties that do not look equal 

 to t,heir neighbors on the bench; and in- 

 variably has some good excuse to offer: 

 he cannot be coaxed- to even recommend 

 any one or two varieties as the best 

 commercial varieties, hut we expect in 

 a few weeks to he able to s])ot out what 

 can be considertxl the lx>st and most prof- 

 itable ones for the small grower to 

 grow without having to take a few of 

 the great number of varieties that are 

 now on the market. 



One of the latest developments in T . 

 ronto iu tlie florists' line, is a new (Sai- 

 deners' and Florists' Union, which, we 

 are told, is affiliated with the A. F. of L 

 Of cour.se do not think that the garden- 

 ers and florists were driven to ortranize 

 a union tlirough any harsh treatment 

 that they received at the hands of 

 their employers, but, as they say, it is 

 just a little ounce of preventive. How- 

 ever, anybody that may require any in- 

 formation as to the whys and wherefores 

 of this organization would do well to 

 communieate with Davy Cooper, flieir 

 very enthusiastic secretary. 



Sinclair has just completed a new dust- 

 proof ease for his large stock of bask- 

 ets, which will be of material advanta"e 

 in handling these delicate goods. 



D. J. 



llR. C. H. JoosTEN, New York, sends 

 us a copy of his trade catalogue of 

 plants, hardy ornamental ti-ees and 

 shrubs, conifers, roses, herbaceous 

 plants, etc., the stock which he sells in 

 America as agent for the Boskoop Nurs- 

 ery Association, of Holland. The list 

 )s very full and complete and includes 

 a great deal of interest to the trade.
