TORONTa 



The Market. 



Evciyoiie seems to be well satisfied 

 with the Easter business. With senrcoly 

 any e.xception the plant business of To- 

 ronto far exceeded the cntllower busi- 

 ness, and it seems plants are inereasing 

 in demand for Easier. Those who in- 

 creased on their last year's business did 

 so in plants, while some admitted that 

 their cutllower business was not as large 

 as last year. What promised to be an 

 over-supply of Easter lilies a week ago, 

 materialized in the form of a shortage 

 on the last day. the principal reason be- 

 ing that many of the out-of-town growers 

 who had 200 or 300 plants for their own 

 trade did not get them in. consequently 

 the whole demand fell on the few that 

 had. JIany of the retail men who had 

 been led to believe that there was going 

 to be an overplus of lilies and that they 

 could be purchased cheap the last few 

 days, were sadly disappointed, and the 

 fact was that many of them could not 

 buy lilies Friday or Saturday at any 

 price. All kinds of bulbous stock was 

 plentiful; in fact more than enough to 

 go around. Carnations seemed to be 

 quite equal to the demand and some of 

 the poorer stock was left looking for a 

 buyer. Good roses were scarce and every- 

 thing was^ pretty well cleaned up. In 

 plants the principal thing noticed as be- 

 ing unsold was rhododendrons. 



I think it is quite! safe to say that all 

 Toronto florists increased on last year's 

 business, which is quite encouraging.

 lilies, and reports good business.

NEW ROSES 



Cardinal and gnchantress 



Read testimonials from two of tht.- largest growers in Washington ^vho have bought 

 a largf numtur uf iilants after seeing them growing at my place. 



Washingtox. D. C. February 27. 1904. 



Your now rose Cardinal came duly to hand and we firmly believe it will have a great 

 future, and will certainly be a money maker as it is in a class all to itself, being superior in 

 form and habit to anything that we have as yet seen. Your new rose Enchantress we also 

 think will be a great money maker, judging from its profuse blooming quality, as we have 

 seen it several times in mid-winter. It cannot help being a winner. Wishing you over success, 

 we remain. Yours truly, A. GUDE & BRO. 



American Rose Co., 909 F St.. N. W.. Washington, March 17, 1904. 

 Deak Sir: We gave all the show possible to Enchantress and Cardinal, placing them in 

 our window with placards telling what they were. Tliey kei>t a week, retaining their brilhant 

 color to the last. Cardinal was as full of perfume the day its petals dropped as when it was 

 first cut. The roses are both matchless, and we believe destined to outclass all roses of their 

 color for forcing under glass. Very sincerely yours,
