The Weekly Florists' Review^ 



JANUABY 14. 1904. 



TORONTa 



Christmas trade was greater than 

 ever. Koses, carnations, violets and val- 

 ley were all ordered ahead of time. 

 There were a tew nice mums for sale 

 and poinset,tias were one of the leading 

 red flowers, which realized good prices 

 and ready sale. Azaleas were the queen 

 of plants offered and were of good 

 quality. Some very fancy obconicas 

 were grown by John Webber. 



New Year's trade was fair, some cus- 

 tomers returning the Christmas gifts. 



Grobba .«. Wandrey are sending in 

 •some fine lilacs, azaleas and Trumpet 

 Ma.ior daffodils. 



William Hill has displayed in his 

 window some very fine stems of Eu- 

 phorbia jacquiniseflora, which proved to 

 he quite an attraction, a novelty to the 

 public, apparently not having been ex- 

 ihibited in Toronto before. 



Funeral work has been plentiful and 

 some good pieces have been turned out. 



I might say the coldest snap experi- 

 enced in years came Monday, January 

 4, when the thermometer registered lo- 

 yally from 12 to 25 degrees below zero, 

 and a few small places had Jack Frost 

 •visit them. F. W. J. H.
