Effect of Weather on Business. 



This fine weather we have been get- 

 ling tor the last weelc has been doing a 

 lot of good and flowers have been bet- 

 ter both in quality and quantity. In 

 spite of it being Lent, too, the demand 

 has been very fair and a good busi- 

 ness is being done in the city at any 

 rate. Some one writing in a contem- 

 porary over the signature E., says 

 that the retail trade is too slow here 

 in Canada. Well, perhaps, we may be 

 a little slow in some things, but all 

 the same. I don't think we lose much 

 by it; "the longest way round is often 

 the shortest way home." I wish to 

 say, however, that the above mention- 

 ed E. is not the undersigned E. 



Hort. Society. 



The Horticultural Society meeting 

 last Tuesday evening was a very 

 pleasant affair and in spite of the elec- 

 tion, very well attended, the ladies 

 turning out in fine style. Mr. Htley, 

 owing to sickness and press of busi- 

 ness, was unable to continue hi.s es- 

 say on Seasonable Seed Sowing, but 

 Mr. Thomas Manton gave cultural di- 

 rections for various house plants 

 which were on the table and answered 

 many questions, and the president, 

 Mr. Ross, read a very interesting paper 

 on House Climbers— Hardy, Half 

 Hardy and Tender, which was well 

 criticised and discussed. Mr. Ross 

 makes an ideal chairman. His tact 

 and geniality carry every one with 

 him and make life seem worth liv- 

 ing. 



Executive Committee Meets. 

 The Executive Committee of the 

 Gardeners' and Florists' Association 

 went over the Chrysanthemum show 

 prize list the other day and suggested 

 a considerable number of changes 

 which will have to go through regu- 

 lar meeting before being finally de- 

 cided on. This meeting was a very 

 lively one and there were any amount 

 of motions and amendments and in- 

 formal talk. E. 



CONCORD, MASS. — Mr. -Wilfred
