The Weekly Florists* Review. 



MAR?H 17, 189S. 



TORONTO. 



The continued mild weather has 

 given the market men a chance to get 

 there and do a little business. They 

 can sell a class of stuff down there 

 that can hardly be sold anywhere else, 

 and as greenhouse space is a great 

 consideration, they can clean stuff off 

 which would otherwise have to take a 

 hack seat or probably be thrown on 

 the dump, though there is also a lot 

 of good stuff sold there too. 



The Gardeners' and Florists' Asso- 

 ciation at its regular meeting on 

 Tuesday evening will wrestle with the 

 Chrysanthemum Show prize list as 

 suggested by the executive commit- 

 tee. 



Some magnificent roses are being 

 shown in the store windows now and 

 trade still keeps fairly lively. Some 

 good carnations are also being shown. 



Mr. Geo. Reeves, of Reservoir Park, 

 is putting his collection of stove and 

 greenhouse plants in good order again. 

 They are in a fair way to make their 

 mark at the various flower shows. 



The rate war between the C. P, R. 

 and G. T. R. is bringing a great quan- 

 tity of people to the city and business 

 generally is in consequence brisker 

 than it has been for years. Your cor- 

 respondent is also taking advantage 

 of the cheap fares and will take a 

 month's holiday on the Pacific coast 

 (not Skaguay, though). E. 



ST. PAUL, MINN. 



Market Resume. 



Stock is more plentiful than for 

 some time, though there is no glut of 

 the market, "Violets are very much in 

 evidence and wholesale prices on 

 some are down, good stock selling at 

 40 to 75 cents per 100. Harrisii are 

 more plentiful, while there is some 

 falling off in other bulbous stock. Smi- 

 lax is scarce. 



Trade has been fair, though hardly 

 up to the previous week's business. 

 Shipping trade has fallen off quite ma- 

 terially and funeral work has been in 

 less demand than for several months. 

 The weather continues mild and pleas- 

 ant and Easter stock is coming on in 

 good shape. 



Notes. 



P. Peteler, formerly clerk for Chris 

 Hansen, has started a store on Robert 

 street in a good location to catch trade. 

 His opening day leader was "Roses, 50 

 cents per dozen." We understand 

 that he will obtain his stock from 

 Chicago. 



Holen & Olsen, on St. Peter street, 

 have a neat, attractive store and are 

 enjoying a very lucrative trade. 



J. Hoitomt has discontinued his 

 store on Mackubin street and retired 

 from business. 



Wm. Scott, propagator for L. L. 

 May & Co.. will join the Klondike 

 caravan next week and endeavor to 

 grow or find gold nuggets in the frozen 

 north. X. Y. Z.
