The Florists' R 



cyfew 



FlBBDABX 26, 1820 



TORONTO, ONT. 



Tbe Market. 



Florists are still busy and are in the 

 same position as before with regard to 

 stock; that is, they could handle more 

 flowers than they are able to obtain. 

 The death lists are now much smaller 

 and the flu is rapidly decreasing. Still 

 there are many demands for designs and 

 the florists are using their ingenuity in 

 making them up to stretch the available 

 stock as far as possible. 



In spite of Lent, there are a number 

 of receptions and other social affairs 

 and there are many orders from this 

 source. 



The opening of the federal parliament 

 in Ottawa next week has taxed the ca- 

 pacity of the Ottawa florists and many 

 orders have been booked with Toronto 

 florists for supplies of flowers. 



There is little change in wholesale 

 prices except for carnations, which 

 have advanced, and mignonette, which 

 has advanced for first-grade stock. 



Various Notes. 



There is still a considerable list of 

 florists ill. J. J. Higgins was ill for a 

 week. Mrs. J. J. Higgins suffered a re- 

 lapse and is again under the doctor's 

 care. John H. and Frank Dunlop are 

 both laid up with the flu. Mrs. G. "W. 

 Warren is recovering from the flu, as 

 if also W. J. Hoath. 



'Much sympathy is expressed for Mr. 

 and Mrs. Charles K, Cooper, who lost 

 their only child, Doreen Helen, aged 14 

 months, of pneumonia. 



The regular meeting of the Garden- 

 ers' and Florists' Association was held 

 February 17. It was decided to support 

 the effort to have a botanical garden 

 established in or near Toronto. The 

 Ontario Horticultural' Society is also 

 supporting this scheme and a delega- 

 tion from Toronto University has al- 

 ready waited on the Ontario govern- 

 ment, urging that such a project be 

 taken up. The plan is finding favor with 

 florists generally. The next regular 

 meeting of the Gardeners' and Florists' 

 Association will be held March 16 and 

 the annual social March 9. 



The Toronto Eetail Florists' Club 

 will hold its regular meeting March 8.
