50 Barclay Street, NEW YORK. 



TORONTO. 



Trade around town has been slow since 

 New Year's, and colored stuff has moved 

 very slowly. It is fortunate that there 

 is no great supply. Especially is the 

 shortage noticeable in roses, which have 

 gradually decreased in supply since New 

 Year's. Single violets have been selling 

 well, while double have been stocking up. 

 Colored carnations have been overplenti- 

 ful, but the scarcity of roses has helped 

 them off. Bulb stock is plentiful. The 

 demand, however, at present writing 

 shows considerable advance, and the 

 prospect of some big receptions and 

 weddings in the near future is expected 

 to run off considerable stock. 



Most of the growers are now making 

 preparations for their new stock for the 

 coming season, and manj^ are on the 

 lookout for sonic of the best varieties of 

 carnations to grow for the coming sea- 

 son; especially does this apply to the 

 small growers who have not the chance 

 to try stock a couple of years before 

 going into the varieties extensively. 



We hear some of the growers sighing 

 for something new in the rose line, many 

 of them believing that the old standbys. 

 Brides. Maids and Meteors, are running 

 out, but at present there is nothing in 

 sight to take their places. Liberty, witli 

 a majority of the growers around here, 

 is not a huge success, as it seems deter- 

 mined to take its rest in the winter. 



Your correspondent in his rounds has 

 noted some of the varieties of carnations 

 that seem to be in a general way the 

 best for regular commercial trade. They 

 may not include the best varieties for 

 exhibition purposes, but in a general 

 commercial way they are considered the 

 best. Of the varieties that have been 

 tested, Lorna, Queen Louise, Norway and 

 Glacier, for white, even up pretty" well. 

 Lawson, Mrs. A. E. Nelson and" Cress- 

 brook, for pink, seem to be the favorites 

 that have done the best generally, while 

 we see odd places where Dorothy is doing 

 well, but with a majority it "is not a 

 favorite. In light jpink," Mrs. Higin- 

 botham and 'Morning Glorv. In red. 

 Mrs. Potter Palmer, J. H. Manley and 

 Estelle seem to be favorites. In crim.son, 

 Harry Fenn and Gov. Roosevelt. In the 

 variegated, Stella. Viola Allen and Pros- 

 perity are the best. This list may be at- 

 tacked by some growers who find in it 

 varieties that have not done well with 

 them, but the majority must rule. 



We had a visit the past week from Mr. 

 Ned Dale, of the Dale Estate; Mr. Geo. 

 Stewart. Goderich. and Dr. Roe. Floral

Portland, Ore. — Preparations are be- 

 ing made for an elaborate display of
