The Market. 



Business for Memorial day was the 

 best the trade has ever experienced for 

 that holiday. The stores were crowded 

 all day Saturday, May 29, and plants, 

 cut flowers and wreaths were in great 

 demand. Stock was good and there was 

 a fine assortment to choose from, in- 

 cluding peonies, roses, carnations, 

 snapdragons, lilies, mignonette, sweet 

 peas, calendulas, yellow and white 

 daisies and gladioli of the bridesmaid 

 type. Plants were a good selling line, 

 being used chiefly for the cemetery, the 

 best sellers being geraniums, lobelias, 

 marguerites, pansies and sweet alyssum. 



Various Notes. 



William Japp, of Lester Park, says 

 that his business for Memorial day was 

 bigger than ever, 



J. J. Le Borious says that business was 

 extra good. He had a large assortment 

 of plants, which found a ready sale; also 

 a good cut of carnations. 



The Quality Flower Shop reports that 

 business for Memorial day was exceed- 

 ingly satisfactory. 



The Duluth Floral Co. reports a large 

 business both in cut flowers and plants. 

 Magnolia wreaths, clustered with oak 

 leaves, cycas and flowers, found a ready 

 sale. J. E. S. 



TORONTO, ONT. 



The Market. 



Business keeps up well, with a fair 

 supply of flowers. There have been 

 a number of funerals, with the conse- 

 quent demand for design work. 



June is the month of weddings and 

 Toronto has had its share. Many of 

 these have been church weddings and 

 florists have been doing considerable 

 decorative work in addition to supplying 

 bouquets. Another thing which has con- 

 tributed to the demand for flowers is 

 the graduation exercises of the various 

 hospitals and universities. The convoca- 

 tion at Toronto University was a large 

 affair and one florist had an order for 

 fifty-eight pieces, in addition to other 

 orders for the same affair. 



Fortunately, there have been plenty 

 of flowers. Sweet peas do not appear to 

 be of the same fine quality that we have 

 been receiving, but other flowers are 

 arriving to take their place. White lilac 

 is being used with good effect in the 

 preparation of designs. 



Many of the florists have again signi- 

 fied their intention of closing one after- 

 noon a week. The downtown florists 

 will close Saturday afternoons and the 



Finished Product
