TORONTO, ONT. 



The Market. 



There was a big demand last week for 

 decorations for social functions. The 

 cold weather interfered with the deliv- 

 ery of palms for such events, but there 

 was a big demand for flowers. The 

 number of social events is increasing 

 and some unusually large ones have 

 been held. Also, there have been a 

 great many banquets and, invariably, 

 the tables have been decorated with 

 flowers. 



The dark, cold weather and an ex- 

 ceedingly heavy fall of snow had a 

 serious effect on the market. There is 

 a shortage and an improvement in the 

 weather conditions is needed. 



Club Meeting. 



The Toronto Retail Florists' Club 

 held its regular meeting Monday, Janu- 

 ary 12. President Dillemuth occupied 

 the chair. It was decided to hold the 

 annual dance February 9 at the Metro- 

 politan Club rooms. 



Miss M. Gafl&kin was reported on the 

 sick list. 



A resolution of sympathy for Sim- 

 mons & Son was passed. In acknowledg- 

 ing it, Mr, Simmons stated that they 

 had an extremely heavy loss, as prac- 

 tically the whole stock waa destroyed 

 by fire, smoke and water. The whole 

 store will require refitting, redecorating 

 and restocking. It was a pleasure to 

 have those in the same business in the 

 city offer their help on the day of the 

 fire and it was greatly appreciated. 



Edward Gale will represent the club 

 at the meeting of the Hamilton Garden- 

 ers ' and Florists' Association February 

 2. The exchange of members on meet- 

 ing nights will be a feature of the com- 

 ing meetings of the two clubs. 



An oyster supper was served follow- 

 ing the meeting.
