The Weekly Florists^ Review. 



Januakv 6, 1898. 



TORONTO. 



The holiday season beinjj over, florists 

 are now busy comparing notes, and the 

 experience of those I have spoken with 

 appears to have been eminently satisfac- 

 torv, all the grumbling that has been 

 done has been directed at the weather. 

 It certainly has not been very propitious; 

 before Christmas it was so dull that the 

 flowers could not open quickly enough 

 and at Christmas, and New Years too, it 

 was so cold that it kept many people at 

 home and maile the shipping of plants a 

 difficult and risky business. However in 

 spite of drawbacks a fine trade was done, 

 as I said before. 



Victorian Era Ball Calls for a Large Num- 

 ber of Flowers. 



The Victorian Era fancy dress ball 

 given to the citizens bj' Lord and I.ady 

 Aberdeen on the 28th ult. held in the 

 Armories was a great event and will be 

 long remembered by these who attended. 

 A large quantity of flowers and ever- 

 greens were used both in the decoration 

 of the hall and supper tables and by the 

 guests. A lot of money was spent one 

 way and another on this the finishing 

 touch to the Jubilee year in Canada. 



As a result of my question concerning 

 poinsettias in your last issue at least one 

 florist is going to grow them for next 

 Christmas. Mr. George Mills, of C)ssing- 

 ton avenue, thinks there is money in 

 them, too. 



Club MeetingSc 



The annual meeting of the Horticul- 

 tural Societj' will be held on the second 

 Wednesday' in January (12th), according 

 to the act of Parliament. Everyone 

 should maUe an effort to have a rousing 

 meeting. 



The Electoral District Agricultural So- 

 ciety, which used to hold summer llower 

 shows but now gives its money in prizes 

 at other horticultural shows, holds its 

 meeting on the third Wednesday in Jan- 

 uary (19th). It is reported that some 

 important changes are to l>e proposed bj' 

 the directors, and it would be well for as 

 many of the boys to attend as possible, 

 to see that what is to be spent should be 

 spent to good advantage. E.
