The Weekly Florists' Review. 



April 30, 1903. 



MONTREAL. 



Easter trade this year, although satis- 

 factory, was not a record breaking one. 

 Quite a number of flowers and plants 

 were left over, judging from the trade in 

 general. The weather was bright and 

 mild, making delivery pleasant and 

 €asy. 



In the plant supply lilies, as last 

 year, led far ahead. Crimson Ramblers 

 also were good favorites. Pots of valley 

 and spireas came ne.xt, followed by hy- 

 drangeas and hyacinths. By the way, a 

 lot of lilacs, just immense, but too lim- 

 ited in quantity, found ready buyers. 

 DaflFodils, in good demand before, were 

 not looked at this year. 



In cut flowers it is needless to say 

 that roses were first and last. Carna- 

 tions also went well, and like the roses, 

 were good and in abundance. Valley, 

 some late paper whites, and other bulb- 

 ous stock went well enough. Slignonette 

 and swainsonas were the only green 

 available. 



Mr. Joseph Bennett had his retail 

 place just packed with stock. His lot 

 of longiflorums was the best in the city 

 and came on just in due time. Some 

 Al Ramblers and hydrangeas were 

 soon disposed of, as were also his dainty 

 pans of valley. 



Messrs. P. MeKenna & Son had some 

 lilacs that were just immense. It is a 

 pitjj they didn't have four times as 

 many. They report a complete cleaning 

 out. 



Mr. S. S. Bain had a large stock fill- 

 ing his two stores. His hydrangeas, 

 lilacs and viburnums were very good. 



At Messrs. Hall & Robinson's a mixed 

 stock worthy of the good reputation of 

 the young firm was divided among the 

 retailers. By the way, I am told that 

 Mr. W. Hall is tired of single life. When 

 will the wedding bells rejoice, Willie?

 enjoyed themselves while here. The
