The Florists^ Review 



March 22, 1917. 



BRAMPTON, ONT. 



Weather conditions have changed at 

 last, and the bright days we are now 

 having ought to bring about a satis- 

 factory condition of things for the 

 Easter season. Lilies appear to be in 

 great demand, but the crop is far shorter 

 this year than usual. Many had to be 

 thrown out in the earlier stages of their 

 growth. 



We understand that there is a move- 

 ment on foot to endeavor to do away 

 with the handling of flowers by the 

 drug stores of Toronto. The reasons 

 advanced by those who have charge 

 of this movement have not been made 

 quite clear. It is doubtful whether 

 this branch of trade — which seems to 

 have been fostered by most of the grow- 

 ers, for reasons that must be well known 

 to every florist — will allow itself to be 

 wiped out of existence unless some good 

 remedy is offered by those who are in- 

 teresting themselves to bring about a 

 change. 



The coal situation is now so relieved 

 that there is little likelihood of any 

 serious drawback to any of the growers 

 this season, at least. Just as an example 

 of the kind of experience which has 

 not been uncommon this winter, we 

 might mention that a car of coal shipped 

 exactly three months ago from the mines 

 in West Virginia, reached Brampton 

 this week. 



The large carnation section at the 

 Dale Estate has had its dividing parti- 

 tion taken down, and is now one ex- 

 tensive area of carnations in full bloom. 

 No less than fourteen houses, 500 feet 

 long, are devoted to this particular 

 flower. 



The demand for vegetables is likely 

 to be such this year that in all proba- 

 bility a large amount of space will be 

 devoted to three or four different kinds, 

 which will be suitable for market next 

 winter. W. (i. I". 



NEW LONDON, CONN. 



At the recent meeting (if tlie New liou- 

 don Horticultural Society P. J. Van 

 Baarda, of Boston, gave a most interest- 

 ing talk on spring-flowering bulbs. This 

 society is giving a series of lectures, by 

 both local and out-of-town speakers, and 

 it is gratifying to .see the keen interest 

 tlie public takes in the affairs of tlie so- 

 ciety. The meetings are held in the coun- 

 cil chamber of the Municipal building and 

 members bring their choicest stock for ex- 

 liibition. 



Thomas Hatton attended tlie recent 

 Davey tree convention at Kent, O. 



Xew London now has tliree well 

 equipped stores to take care of tlie iiei^ls 

 of a flower-loving public. 



.Tames D. Rough, formerly of Boston, 

 recently was elected president of the New 

 London Horticultural Society. U.
