50 Barclay Street, NEW YORK. 



TORONTO. 



The woathc-r during the last week has 

 been extremely cold, and the srowers 

 who are able to keep heat up do it at 

 the expense of a great amount of coal, 

 which has been quite a problem with 

 some. Kspecially is this kind of wea- 

 ther bad for those whose crop is some- 

 what behind, and we hear now some 

 talk of tlie fine cut that some of the 

 growers will have for about the loth of 

 January. 



We have not yet heard of any of the 

 growers losing any stock by freezing, 

 which, unfortunately, cannot be said 

 about some of the dealers, as Jlr. J. S. 

 Simmons, of Vonge street had the mis- 

 fortune to have his whole stock of palms 

 and other plants in his store frozen on 

 Friday night through the fan-light 

 blowing open. This is a big loss, as he 

 had a quantity of fresh stock in for his 

 Xmas trade. !Mr. D. J. Sinclair also 

 lost a number of line plants he had for 

 window decoration. 



Mr. E. Grainger has opened a city 

 branch in the Yonge street arcade. Mr. 

 Grainger has been in the seed and flower 

 business for a number of years in part- 

 nership with his brother at Deer Park. 

 Some months ago the partnership was 

 dissolved and now Mr. Grainger has 

 opened the new city branch in conjunc- 

 tion with his own greenhouse at Deer 

 Park. We wish him every success. 



We are informed that 5Ir. Jas. Good- 

 year, of Exhibition Park, is alwut to 

 leave the city. We are sorry to hear 

 this, as Mr. Goodyear has always taken 

 an active part in the Gardners' and 

 Florists' Association, and other associa- 

 tions in connection with floriculture in 

 the city. He has been orchid grower 

 for Exhibition Park for a number of 

 years, and is considered to lie one of 

 the best authorities on orchids in the 

 city. 



Your correspondent asked a grower the 

 other day how lie was off for coal. 

 "Well," he said, "it is this way, I can 

 buy it. but have no certainty that the 

 railway company will deliver it : for 

 example, I bought a carload of coal at 

 Detroit and when it got as far as 

 Stratford the railway company "confis- 

 cated' it." It would look very much as 

 if we are in a time of war, with coal 

 as contraband that can be commandeered 

 at will. 



Xmas trade looks very promising 

 from present appearances, but then it is 

 too earlv to do anything else but aruess 

 at it. " ^ D.J. 



Atlanta, Ga. — A petition for a char- 

 ter for the Rose Hill Floral Co.. this
