Tbe Rose Show. 



The annual rose show was held last 

 Saturday in the club rooms of the so- 

 ciety and, considering how scarce this 

 flower is at the present time, it was a 

 decided success. Among the exhibitors 

 was W. K. Partridge, who made a grand 

 show of roses, also many vases of the 

 newest varieties of carnations, all extra 

 well grown. George & Allan also staged 

 some fine stock. Their roses, especially, 

 were extra and reflect much credit upon 

 this firm. They also showed various 

 kinds of bulbous stock, all nicely forced. 

 The E. G. Hill Co. sent some fine speci- 

 mens of their roses, a vase of Liberty 

 being the finest I have ever seen of this 

 rose. It was truly magnificent and if 

 their new crimson rose is still better, it 

 will be a world beater. 



E. Witterstaetter staged a vase of The 

 Cardinal, better known, perhaps, as im- 

 proved Estelle. It was in fine shape, and 

 I would advise growers to have their 

 eyes open for it at Detroit. Baur & 

 Smith sent a vase of their Indianapolis. 

 It arrived in good shape and showed up 

 finely. J. W. Eodgers made the only 

 exhibit of violets and showed some nicely 

 grown Princess of Wales and California. 

 I am sorry to report that a vase of La 

 Detroit did not arrive until Sunday morn- 

 ing. It was on exhibition at E. G. Gil- 

 lett's wholesale house and all who saw 

 it seemed to be very favorably im- 

 pressed. Some blooms of Crusader and 

 Harlowarden from the Chicago Carna- 

 tion Co. also arrived late but they were 

 in fine shape. 



Theo. Bock, of Hamilton, was the 

 judge, and the awards were as follows: 

 W. K. Partridge, first on Bridesmaid, 

 Bride, Meteor, Golden Gate, Ivory and 

 on best general display; second on 

 Beauty and Liberty. George & Allan, 

 second on Maid, Bride, Meteor and Perle. 

 The E. G. Hill Co., first on Liberty, sec- 

 ond on Ivory and third on Bride and 

 Bridesmaid. Mr. Eodgers got the prize 

 for violets. 



A meeting of the society was held in 

 the evening. Chas. Murphy was taken 

 ia as a new member. James Harts- 

 horfae was made an honorary member. 

 Fred H. Lemon was present at the meet- 

 ing and made an interesting talk concern- 

 ing the new roses of The E. G. Hill Co. 



The Market. 



Business is now very good, with stock 

 scarce. Roses and carnations are far 

 below the demand, and first-class prices 

 are ruling. Even bulbous stock is get- 

 ting scarce and it is impossible to fill 

 all orders. Valentine's dav made the de-

 sands of them were disposed of. Red 

 carnations were also much in demand 

 but there were but few of them. Lent 

 will begin this week, but judging from 

 past experience, I do not believe it will 

 have any effect on business.
