The Weekly Florists' Review, 



MARCH 24, 1898. 



TORONTO, ONT. 



Your Toronto correspondent, the' 

 "only" B., in his departure for the 

 West, takes with him the best wishes 

 of his confreres and a desire for 

 a speedy return. Doubtless he will 

 have much to relate to the boys at the 

 little weekly gathering, which takes 

 place at St. Lawrence market, where 

 can be found Grainger Bros., of dahlia 

 fame; Manton Bros., of practical and 

 reportorial repute, and Frank Duflort, 

 who, in addition to his skill in produc- 

 ing what some others fail in, is. J be- 

 lieve, mayor of his town. Simmers 

 Bros, and Steele, Briggs Seed Co.. both 

 famed seed houses, situated near by, 

 are in the whirlpool of spring rush, ow- 

 ing to the advanced season. 



J. H. Diinlop makes a fine display in 

 both of his stoi-es, particularly the one 

 down town. He is quite metropolitan. 



C. J. Tidy finds the conservatory at- 

 tached to his handsome store a capital 

 house in which to carry stock, both 

 utility and adornment being combined 

 in this elegant structure. 



W. Tidy is preparing tor the spring 

 rush in addition to carrying the well 

 grown Easter stock at his Wellesley 

 store for the increasing demand in that 

 select neighborhood. W. M. 



LOUISVILLF, KY. 



Our spring flower sliuw will have to 

 be postponed if not entirely drojiped 

 on account of the manager of the hall 

 having given our dates to other par- 

 ties. 



Quite a lot of building will be done 

 this summer. Mr. Jacob Schulz will 

 build one new house 152 feet long and 

 rebuild two. one 20x152 and one 10.x 

 152. He is going to make one house 

 30x152 out of these. Mr. J. E. Marret 

 will rebuild three houses 20x130 feet. 

 Mr, C. H. Kunzman is going to move 

 his greenhouses to a larger lot and will 

 build several new houses. J. Coenen 

 & Co. will also rebuild three houses 

 20x80 and two new houses 20x80. 



Business has been very slow for the 

 last two weeks. We are being overrun 

 by bulb sellers from Holland just now. 

 Hyacinth bulbs are higher than last 

 year, tulips are lower. Ky, 



RALEIGH, N. C— Henry Steinmetz 

 has a well equipped place, and while 

 the season has been very unfavorable 

 for out-door stock, he will have a capi- 

 tal supply for Easter. Mr. S. raises 

 large quantities of bedding stock. 



HORNELLSVILLE. N. Y. — W. A. 

 Wettlin reports a book full of orders 

 for Easter, and has a capital stock with 

 which to supply his customers. Carl 

 Sackmann, formerly with H. A. Dreer, 

 has charge here, and shows evidence of 

 his cultural skill.
