TORONTO. 



During the past week we liave had 

 weatlier witli a vengeance, and lots of 

 it. We had it from 80 degrees in the 

 .shade to 10 degrees of frost in twenty- 

 four hours. This did not improve the 

 appeaiance of out-door stock that was 

 coming in bloom, and we believe very 

 materially damaged the early peonies. 



The horse show made quite a stir with 

 us and most of the stores decorated ac- 

 cordingly, and some very fine displays 

 were put up. It being a social function 

 of a very high order the call was for the 

 very choicest stock, and made quite a 

 move in this line. Tlie latter end of the 

 week there was quite a rush of design 

 work, which cleaned up the stock of 

 white stuff, and on the whole there was 

 very little stuff left on the dealers' hands 

 during the week. 



The notable function of the week was 

 the first decoration put up in the new- 

 King Edward Hotel, which has been 

 known as the "Million Dollar Hotel." 

 but which has now run up to 

 nearly two and a quarter millions, 

 and it is estimated that one-quarter of 

 a million more will be spent before it 

 is completed. The decoration was put 

 up by S. Tidy & Son and was done in 

 pink, a large quantity of IMaids and 

 asparagus fern being used in the dec- 

 oration of the table. The occasion was 

 the farewell banquet tendered to the 

 manager who has had charge for the 

 last year or so. 



The funeral of our late Lieutenant 

 Governor, Sir Oliver Jlowatt, took place 

 on Wednesday, and the floral tributes 

 were large and numerous. Among the 

 noticeable designs was a standing anchor 

 made by J. S. Simmons; it was a beau- 

 tiful piece of work and finished off with 

 some heather, to give it a good Scotch 

 effect. Another piece was a Scroll of 

 Fame, made by S. Tidy & Son. The 

 largest piece was a broken column 5 feet 

 10 inches, made by Mr. A. Jennings; 

 it was made principally of pink and 

 white roses and Harrisii lilies, and was 

 a credit to the designer. A large cres- 

 cent wreath on an easel made by Mr. 

 H. G. Dillemuth of Dunlop's was well 

 worthy of special mention. Miller & 

 Son-s, we understand, had the lion's 

 share in the number of pieces. Tliey 

 received a great number of out-of-town 

 orders. D, J. 



Newark, X, J. — Henry Bird, the vet- 

 eran florist of this city, died April 30, 

 aged 65 years.

Greenhouse Fumigating Powder 



Is the newest and best article on the market 

 to-day for the complete destruction of all 

 insects that infest Greenhouses or Conserv- 

 atories, being a special boon to Rose and 

 Beauty growers and prepared particuhtrlv for 

 the destruction of Oreenfiy and Thrips. 

 There is nothing injurious in it to plant life, 

 even the most delicate fern. It is especially 

 recommended for Beauties. Roses, Carna- 

 tions. Chrysanthemums, Lilies, Smilax, 

 Asparagus. Palms, Ferns, etc., and we claim 

 that insects will be entirely eradicated when 

 the houses are thoroughly fumigated with 

 the powder. It is put up as follows:
