BRAMPTON, ONT. 



The coal situation is about the worst 

 that has ever been experienced in this 

 neighborhood. The embargo is still on, 

 and wliat,little fuel does get as far as 

 Ontaiid is confiscated bv the railways 

 vithout discrimination. The florists arc 

 having a trying time of it. The Dale 

 Estate's supply of coal fortunately has 

 held out, otherwise none would have 

 been able to borrow, beg or steal coal 

 from any outside source. 



Ever since Christmas extremely cold 

 weather has prevailed, without a single 

 day's relief, and tiiis week it began with 

 a temperature of 22 degrees below zero, 

 making long-distance shipments decid- 

 edly risky, especially in the west. 



It is reported that H. L. Janzen, of 

 Kitchener, had seven houses frozen out 

 on the night of February 11. Narrow 

 escapes seem to have been common oc- 

 currences recently. W. G. P.

ing and seeing evidences of the wonder- 

 ful prosperity of the country, many of 

 them think that their share of the gold- 

 en stream has been somewhat slow in 

 turning in Louisville's direction; but 

 at last some of the florists feel safe in 

 saying that they are beginning to real- 

 ize on some of the golden harvest. Of 

 course, we all know the Christmas busi- 

 ness was the greatest in history, but 

 until that time flowers had been in less 

 demand. 



During the last month, despite the 

 bad weather conditions, the florists have 

 been constantly taxed to their capacity 

 in turning out work for various occa- 



sions. The greatest handicap has been 

 the shortage of stock, especially roses 

 and giganteum lilies. There is a marked 

 shortage of Asparagus plumosus, Spren- 

 geri and other greens, making it neces- 

 sary to use quantities of leucothoe and 

 mahonia sprays. At one store a great 

 deal of redwood and other flat-leaved 

 evergreens from Chicago were being 

 worked up into funeral work. 



Sweet peas and violets were expected 

 in splendid crop for St. Valentine 's day. 

 The indications were that St. Valen- 

 tine's day business would be close to a 

 Christmas rush. Were it not for the pot 

 plants, cyclamens, primulas and bulbous
