The Weekly Florists^ Review. 



November 20, 1002. 



TORONTO. 



Trade during the last week has picked 

 up considerably, and the market now 

 assumes a more steady tone. JIums 

 are commencing to show a scarcity, and 

 this is having the effect of increasing 

 the demand for roses and carnations, of 

 which there has been an oversupply, but 

 we notice the wholesale men alreadj' 

 quoting several varieties of roses short 

 in quantity. 



The long-waited-for opening of the 

 new St. Lawrence Market took place 

 on Saturday, November 15, when Mayor 

 Howland officially declared the market 

 open for business. This is a very fine 

 building, .340 feet long and 136 feet 6 

 inches wide, with a steel truss roof 138 

 feet 6-inch span with glass center. The 

 flower department is partitioned off .50 

 feet by 90 feet, and promises to be quite 

 a boon to the market trade, which has 

 fallen off considerably during the last 

 few years and has been gradually re- 

 verting into the hands of the depart- 

 ment stores, which handle that cheap 

 quality of stuff that in former years 

 was sold at the market. This trade will, 

 it is expected, come back to the market 

 now that they have . such a commodious 

 and comfortable place for handling it. 

 AH the old heads were on hand with 

 their stock on Saturday, and all, with- 

 out exception, reported a splendid day. 



As we look over the cuts of the vari- 

 ous exhibits at the difl'erent mum shows 

 we regret that our own show has been 

 called off this year. We also hear some 

 of the growers, who had the misfortune 

 to receive only 3rd, 4th, 5th or 6th 

 prize last year, judging their stock this 

 year as first prize winners. Just wait, 

 boys, you will get another chance. 



Mr. F. Browne, of Barrie, is sending in 

 some very fine Major Bonnaffon mums, 

 and Mr. A. E. Cole, of Grimbsby, Prin- 

 cess violets. 



An event of some interest, and espe- 

 cially to F. C. Miller & Sons, of Bracon- 

 dale, was the 'christening of their new 

 yellow chrysanthemum, Dr. Oronhya- 

 tekha, a sport from Eaton. This is a 

 pale yellow, somewhat resembling Col- 

 onel Appleton in color, with the same 

 size and substance of Eaton. It orig- 

 inated and was grown by Miller & Sons, 

 and on Tuesday afternoon, November 11, 

 Dr. Oronhyatekha, the chief of the For- 

 resters, together with the officials and 

 staff of the Temple building, were in- 

 vited up to christen this mum, which 

 was done in good style, and can be very 

 properly characterized as a small event 

 elaborately carried out. After the cere- 

 mony, cake and stimulants of various 

 strengths were served in the packing 

 «Bhed. 



Although none of the florists were in- 

 vited they are promised a bunch of it to 

 display in their windows, which we may 

 hear about later. D. J.
