The Weekly Florists' Review, 



May 21. 1U03. 



MONTREAL. 



The Market. 



The trade in ilontieal lias elianged 

 very little since my last report, and 

 everybody seems to do a satisfactory 

 business, funeral work and weddings 

 aidixig greatly. Flowers of all kinds are 

 plentiful. Roses are generally good. Perles 

 and Sunrise now have better stems; Lib- 

 erties and Beauties increasing in sup- 

 ply, with an overstock of Brides and 

 Maids. In carnations some splendid 

 flowers are cut. but white are rather 

 scarce, owing chiefly to the disease, 

 whicli made havoc among Glacier, the 

 principal white grown here. Lily of the 

 valley is scarce. Violets are an item of 

 the past, and bulbous stock, except that 

 growing outside, is out of the market. 

 Sweet peas have appeared and sell well. 



Notes. 



We are having very dry weather. The 

 sun is bright, with high temperatures, 

 but the nights are really cold, the ther- 

 mometer often registering Ijelow the 

 freezing jjoint. 



Ine Montreal Gardeners' and Florists' 

 Club met May 5 in Alexander's room. -^ 

 large audience of members being present. 

 The meeting was one of the busiest we 

 had this year. Two new candidates 

 were admitted, W. Matthew, of Outre- 

 mont, and Harry Eddy, of Westmont. 

 G. Robinson spoke in behalf of the new 

 Canadian trade paper. A. Wilshire com- 

 plained against the unlawful business 

 done by plant peddlers. C. Craig proved 

 that the hardy platycodon can lie gi'own 

 and forced in pots by the good specimen 

 he had on exhibition. 



Walter Wilshire has rented the old 

 established place of Colin Campbell at 

 Rockfield. He intends to grow cut flow- 

 ers for wholesale only, making a spe- 

 cialty of carnations. Mr. Campbell will 

 run his retail .store as usual. 



C. A. Smith, of Lachine, has recov- 

 ered from a severe illness. A. Bee. 



BuTLEE, Pa. — Anton Krut, Jr.. reports 

 Easter trade as 20 per cent larger than 

 last year. Bulbous stuff was cleaned up 

 but carnations were most largely called 

 for at but slight advance in prices. 

 Roses, violets and lilies sold well and 

 were of good quality.
