The Market 



Trade during the last week has been, 

 to use a slang term, ' ' nothing to write 

 home about. ' ' The storm the fore part 

 of last week blocked trafiSe so that the 

 shipping trade was completely demora- 

 lized and many of the branch lines are 

 not yet open. We have been treated to 

 all kinds of weather and we have noted 

 that these sudden changes do not tend to 

 stimulate business very materially. A 

 birch bark canoe now makes a very ap- 

 propriate window decoration. 



AH lines of cut flowers are plentiful 

 at present and, though it is hard to fore- 

 cast what may happen between now and 

 Easter, from the way many of the grow- 

 ers are chasing Easter orders it would 

 look as though they were afraid stock 

 was going to be left on their hands. 



Various Notes. 



The Toronto Horticultural Association 

 and the Toronto Gardeners ' and Florists ' 

 Association hold their annual carnation 

 exhibition in St. George's Hall on Fri- 

 day, March 11. We don't really expect 

 this will eclipse the Carnation Show we 

 are at present reading about, just held 

 in Detroit, but the prospects are that it 

 will be a good; show, of a very entertain- 

 ing kind. This will give the carnation 

 growers a chance to see all the new varie- 

 ties, as well as many of the staple va- 

 rieties grown as they should be. 



Some time ago considerable was v?Tit- 

 ten from this district about crepe-chas- 

 ing and we are glad to note that the prac- 

 tice has been stopped. But our atten- 

 tion is now called to a new scheme, which 

 can only be checkmated by concerted ac- 

 tion. Being well connected socially a 

 party is able to scent receptions, teas 

 and other social functions considerably 

 in advance of the date they are to be 

 held. She then proceeds to solicit the 

 order for floral decorations. She finds 

 out the florist from whom they have 

 been usually getting their supply, takes 



Rooted Carnation Cuttings.

the order, telephones it to him and de- 

 mands her twenty-five per cent for do- 

 ing it. Many of the florists were of the 

 opinion that she was working for them 

 and them alone, but it is now a known 

 fact that she has worked this scheme 



with nearly all the florists of Toronto, 

 and the florists are beginning to realize 

 that it is not a matter of getting new 

 trade, but paying twenty-five per cent 

 for orders that would have come to them 

 at any rate. D. J.
