The Florists' Review 



NOTSMBBB 2, 1016. 



BBAMPTON, ONT. 



The Market. 



The season has opened in a decidedly 

 promising fashion, and October trade 

 proved almost too much to be comfort- 

 able, considering the vagaries of the 

 labor market. Supplies are slack in 

 coming to hand on account of the con- 

 gestion on the railroads, and everything 

 the florist needs, from a pin to an an- 

 chor, has gone up in price to such an 

 extent that it costs more to be married 

 or buried now than it ever did. 



Orchids are in full crop this week 

 and fine shipments are made daily to 

 nearly all the larger cities between here 

 . and New York and Chicago. Carna- 

 tions Are better than usual at this time 

 of the year and visitors from across 

 the line say that the plants are better 

 than any they have seen in their own 

 country. Blooms will be scarce for a 

 little while yet. 



Mums are not quite up to last year's 

 standard of quality, the exceedingly 

 trying summer being accountable for 

 this, but the roses cropping now at one 

 of the establishments are far superior 

 to Miy' grown during the last five years. 



Violets are improving in quality and 

 increasing in quantity, and this week 

 they are selling readily at $1 per hun- 

 dred. It would seem that prices gener- 

 ally are going to be slightly above the 

 level of former years; two or three of 

 the neighboring growers have begun to 

 find out that there is plenty of money 

 in circulation, and that there need be no 

 gluts in stock if a little perspicacity is 

 used occasionally. 



Various Notes. 



, Orlando O 'Field, of Grimsby, and his 

 hflftd shipper, A. G. Bloomberg, were 

 visitors during the week; also H. Jen- 

 nings, of Weston. 



Richard Jennings, of Weston, is re- 

 covering from a rather severe illness.

D-^VENPOET, B. ISLAND, MOLINE. 



Buiness has been good during the 

 last week. Roses, especially Killarney, 

 which were in short supply last week, 

 now are more plentiful, and Beauty, 

 Bussell and others sell well. Ophelia 

 is the most popular rose and the local 

 supply is not sufficient to meet require- 

 ments. Carnations are plentiful and of 

 good quality, but they are not selling 

 well- on account of the large variety of 

 mums offered. Lilies are not too plen- 

 tiful. Locally grown violets are scarce 

 and California-grown stock is being fea- 

 tured by some of the dealers. W. G.
