The Market. 



With the increased demand for cut 

 flowers and the decreased supply, stock 

 has been gradually rising in price and 

 present prospects point to a big short- 

 age in all lines for Christmas. The 

 great number of novelties in the shape 

 of bells, etc., that have been introduced 

 this year, have made it a conundrum 

 as to whether the demand for cut stuff 

 will be as large as formerly. However, 

 we are sure of one thing; that the sup- 

 ply will not be equal to former years 

 and no doubt everything will be sold 

 up. 



A number of large decorations have been 

 put up this last week by our leading 

 florists and quite a quantity of southern 

 smilax has been used to good effect. 

 There seems to be a nice demand for it 

 when we can get it good, but the trouble 

 has always been that being so far away 

 from where it is gathered, the bulk 

 of it has arrived in anythiiig but good 

 condition. 



The Show. 



The chrysanthemum show that was held 

 under the auspices of the Toronto Horti- 

 cultural Association was a huge success. 

 While the exhibition was not as large as 

 has been held in the old Horticultural 

 pavilion, yet it was large enough to pack 

 St. George's hall so that the space for 

 spectators was small. In chrysanthemums- 

 Miller & Sons, of Bracondale, took all 

 tlie firsts. In roses the Dale estate was 

 the only exhibitor and put up a fine dis- 

 play. In carnations things were pretty 

 evenly divided between J. H. Dunlop and 

 the Dale Estate, while TVm. Fendley, of 

 Brampton, and C. Turp, of this city, 

 came in for a few premiums. The dis- 

 play of orchids was exceptionally good, 

 the prizes going to Exhibition park, Wm. 

 Hill and Manton Bros. D. J. 



AVONDALE, PA. 



E. J. Cloud's place is in fine shape 

 and promises a splendid crop for Christ- 

 mas. He has a house 24x60 containing 

 800 plants of mignonette which is a 

 sight. The growth is something re- 

 markable and at least 5,000 spikes will 

 be ready for Christmas. The carna- 

 tions also look good and the smilax and 

 peas, all in the same house, are all right. 

 There are 500 calla lilies in 6-inch pots. 

 They have made a wonderful growth 

 and each shows three or four flowers or 

 buds. Mr. Cloud says that last year his 

 eallas averaged nearly twenty-five flow- 

 ers per plant. When a neighbor asked 

 him how he did it his answer was, 

 "Dum' luck."
