Excellent ckrysanthemumB, roses and 

 lilies are being featured at the store of 

 the Freese Floral Co., from their green- 

 houses at New Haven, Ind. 



The month of October this year far 

 surpassed the same month of any pre- 

 vious year, or any other month in fact, 

 in the large receipts of both the whole- 

 sale and retail florist, due, of course, to 

 the unprecedented amount of funeral 

 work. 



The recent government ruling given 

 out by William F. Gude, of Washington, 

 D. C, allowing florists their full allot- 

 ment of coal, was received with much 

 relief by the florists of this city, many 

 of whom had planned to close down at 

 least half of their greenhouses on ac- 

 count of their inability to procure 

 enough coal to run their entire ranges 

 throughout the winter. Steps are now 

 being taken by local growers to procure 

 their full allowance and to produce to 

 their utmost capacity this winter.

CALDWELL THE WOODSNAR CONPANY, ^Itltl"^- 



The Market. 



I^ujjiig the. last two weeks Toronto 

 florists have had probably the busiest 

 season for the time of the year in the 

 history of the trade here. Some idea of 

 conditions may be obtained when we 

 state that the number of deaths was 

 1,881, as compared with 445 for the same 

 period last year. Of these 1,881 deaths, 

 307 occurred before October 12. Until 

 recently, also, stock has been scarce, so 

 that it was practically impossible in 

 many cases, and actually so in some, to 

 meet the demands, which were chiefly 

 for funeral work. Stock is more plen- 

 tiful now and trade conditions more 

 nearly normal. 



. Various Notes. 



The Toronto Ketail Florists' Club is 

 liolding chrysanthemum shows Novem- 

 ber 8 and 9 at all the local shops. 



John H. Dunlop has been hit the hard- 

 est, perhaps, of any of the trade here 

 by the influenza epidemic. Lloyd Whit- 

 more died with the disease after an ill- 

 ness of only four days. George M. 

 Geraghty, manager for Mr. Dunlop, has 

 been away from business for two weeks 

 and will not be able to resume his duties
