BRAMPTON, ONT. 



Monday, December ]S, begins llif 

 I'lisiest and biggest holiday trade e\ei 

 ■ •\}ierienced by florists of Canada. Or 

 lers coming in are larger than ever, 

 the heavy d(>mand for No. 1 Beauties 

 and orchids being far in excess of the 

 supply. I'riccs are necessarily higher 

 .all around, but the quality of all the 

 stock is rather above that of former 

 vears. 



Fxcellent holly and boxwoods and 

 other greens from Itelaware ;ind the 

 southern states have been much sought 

 .after this season, and novelties of ;ill 

 kinds are more to the front than usual. 



Rejiresentatives from large wlndesale 

 hc)us(>s in New York have been in this 

 neighborhood during the last week, try- 

 ing to buy \ip stock for the New York 

 marlcet for Christmas, but tlu^ demand 

 throughout the Dominion is so keen 

 Th.'it there is little likeliliood of any 

 s*ock being exported this year. 



I'iorists have had rather a disappoint- 

 ment in r-ouiioction with azaleas. Most 

 of the jilants have been a long time in 

 transit and cannot iiossildy be flowered 

 ■n time for tlie Christmas trade.
