table close to the green hedge. Rich- 

 mond roses and maidenhair ferns and 

 the soft glow of nearly 200 candles, 

 which were entwined with smilax, com- 

 pleted the arrangement. It was cer- 

 tainly an artistic triumph for the Dicks 

 Floral Co. 



The management of the hotel threw 

 open the doors of the banquet hall for 

 the rest of the week and many thou- 

 sands of people admired its beauty. 

 F. George Dicks and his force received 

 many congratulations on the work. 

 Horace J. Head, of Geo. B. Hart, came 

 from Rochester, N. Y., to assist in the 

 decoration. 



Various Notes. 



The West Floral Co. had a window 

 decoration which attracted crowds dur- 

 ing the visit of the Prince of Wales. 

 In the window were pictures of Queen 

 Victoria, Prince Albert, King Edward 

 VII, King George and the present 

 Prince of Wales. The pictures of Queen 

 Victoria and her consort, taken in 1838, 

 were brought from England for the 

 room to be occupied by the Prince of 

 Wales, later King Edward, in Toronto 

 in 1860. 



J, Gammage & Sons report good busi- 

 ness, having had several good weddings 

 and a considerable amount of funeral 

 work lately. H. J. H.

The Market. 



The cut flower market is in an unsat- 

 isfactory condition. The arrival of pom- 

 pons has increased the burden of an al- 

 ready overloaded market, which was re- 

 lieved only a little by the drastic meas- 

 ures taken to shorten the supply of dah- 

 lias. The supply of good chrysanthe- 

 mums has been so large that fears are 

 expressed as to whether they will pay 

 to grow at the prices realized. Business 

 has been fair, but it hardly seems so 

 with the heavy supply of flowers.

A painful, though interesting, com- 

 parison with last year shows for the 

 third week in October over 5,000 deaths 

 in this city, of which 4,600 were from 

 influenza, against 400 odd now, of which 

 three were from influenza. 



Chrysanthemums are fine and plenti- 

 ful. The midseason varieties are in full 

 swing. They sell at irregular prices. 

 The best fare best. The pompons have 

 a hard time. Both the outdoor kinds 

 and those from under glass are now in 

 strong supply. Carnations are selling a 

 little better than a week ago. Boses 

 hold up well, especially in the better 

 grades. The supply is much smaller, 

 due to the heavy disbudding that is be- 

 ing done for Christmas. Cattleyas have 

 advanced sharply in price, due to light 

 receipts and advance orders. There are 

 more snapdragons and a few sweet peas. 



Dahlias are retrograding. Cosmos ii •

The norlsts' Club. 



The meeting of the Florists' Club, to 

 be held Tuesday, November 4, will be 

 called upon to act regarding the pro- 

 posed publicity campaign. The com- 

 mittee appointed to provide for the 

 matter has acted with commendable 

 vigor. They gave us a Flower week — 

 the first we have ever had — a float in 

 the parade and much advertising. They 

 have also secured a large number of 

 signatures to their plan for meeting the 

 expenses, past and future. Here they 

 consider their work ended. They asked 

 and secured an honorable discharge 

 from service. It now remains for a new 

 committee to be appointed to carry out 

 the work of raising the funds and an-
