TOBONTO, ONT. 



The Market. 



Business is keeping up and with the in- 

 creased available stock the florists are 

 in a good position to handle the vsrork. 

 There are some fine yellow chrysanthe- 

 mums and a plentiful supply of choice 

 asters. Dunlop and Columbia roses are 

 being cut in quantity, so that some beau- 

 tiful decoration and funeral design, work 

 is being executed. 



Various Notes. 



Many of the florists are preparing to 

 hold reopeiiings. They have had their 

 stores redecorated inside and out. In 

 many cases new furniture has been added 

 and the stores present a pleasing appear, 

 ance. This applies not only'to the down- 

 town section, but to the stores in the out- 

 lying districts as well. Two or three 

 new trucks have made their appearance, 

 as well as some redecorated ones. 



The horticultural exhibit in connection 

 with the Canadian national exhibition 

 was an attractive one, although the sea- 

 eon was against such a display as would 

 be available now or a little later. All 

 the classes had numerous entries. 



November 11 will see the opening of 

 one of the biggest horticultural exhibi- 

 tions ever held in Toronto. The Horti- 

 cultural or Transportation building will 

 be used. Prizes for flowers aggregate 

 $2,094. J. J. H. 



PBOVIDENCE, E. I. 



The Market. 



While, generally speaking, business 

 and prices are practically normal, trade 

 during the last week has shown a trifle 

 more activity than is usual for this sea- 

 son of the year. 



Gladioli, asters and cactus dahlias 

 still hold first place in the cut flower 

 market. Gladioli have been fine this 

 year and are fast growing in popularity, 

 especially America. There has been a 

 decided shortage of white flowers for 

 more than a fortnight, the call for white 

 roses and asters having been dispropor- 

 tionate. Roses are in supply equal to de- 

 mand, but few new-crop carnations are 

 yet seen, although some of the local 

 growers report that they will begin cut- 

 ting in ten days at the latest. 



Long continued wet weather has about 

 done for the outdoor flowers. Many of 

 the dahlia growers report signs of rot 

 among their plants. 



Various Notes. 



Charles Hunt, of Burnside street, is 

 closing out his greenhouse business and 

 will devote himself exclusively to the 

 milk business. 



Mrs. J. Hilderbrand, of Harrisburg, 

 Pa., has been visiting relatives in this 

 city. 



William A. Bowers, Washington street, 

 is installing a goldfish fountain. 



Joseph Smith, of the Eastern Wreath 

 Works, has been in New York on a va- 

 cation trip.
