The Weekly Florists^ Review. 



MAY 19. 1S98. 



TORONTO. 



Some of the finest funeral designs 

 this city has seen were marie up last 

 week, the occasion lieing the funeral 

 of an eminent lawyer and memljer of 

 parliament. It is an ill wind that 

 blows no one any good, and it was a 

 fair wind for the design trade last 

 week. 



I omitted to mention the May meet- 

 ing of the Horticultural Society in my 

 last week's notice. It was very well 

 attended, especially l)y the ladies. A 

 paper written by Mr. A. H. Ewing on 

 the "Flower Garden" was read by Mr. 

 Thos. Manton. It paid particular at- 

 tention to color combinations in 

 planting the garden. Mr. Manton also 

 gave ocular demonstration as to how 

 to fill a hanging basket, and did it in 

 his usual interesting style. Potting 

 shed facilities were wanting, but Tom 

 took off his coat to it. and made a first 

 class job. 



The Public School Chrysanthemum 

 Show business was advanced a stage. 

 A very pleasant and interesting meet- 

 ing altogether. 



Mr. F. G. Foster, of Hamilton, was 

 present, but was unfortunately unable 

 to speak through sickness. 1 am glad 

 to say. however, that a day or two 

 after he was able to converse freely, 

 and was around visiting the boys. 



This has been an ideal Spring, and 

 everything is looking its loveliest now. 

 The bedding out season will begin 

 next week, and there is every proba- 

 bility that a much larger quantity of 

 plants than usual will be put out. 

 Prices are a little higher at present 

 than last year, and I believe if nobody 

 funks, they can be kept up and stocks 

 can be cleaned out. Don't funk. E. 



"CONSISTENCY." 



Philadelphia, Pa., May 14, 1S08. 

 G. L. Grant. Esq.. Editor Florists' Re- 

 view, :>:',» Caxton Bldg., Chicago. 111. 

 Dear Sir: — We yesterday received an 

 order for a ton of Jadoo Fibre to be 

 delivered to Mr. A. Blanc, 4.Sth and 

 Walnut Sts.. Philadelphia. When our 

 carter arrived with it at Mr. Blanc's 

 place his receipt was signed by Mr. 

 Blanc and the carter was instructed to 

 deliver the ton of Jadoo Fibre to 

 Messrs. liobert Craig & Son. V.nh and 

 Market Sts., Philadelphia. These are 

 the same gentlemen who could not 

 find any virtue in "Jadoo," and it was 

 too expensive for the grower to use, 

 "Consistency, thou art a jewel!" 



See page 919, American Florist, 

 March 19, 1898. 



You can use the above information 

 in any way you see fit. Yours truly,
