The Market. 



Business has fallen off during the last 

 week, due to the warm weather and the 

 moving of the people to their summer 

 homes at the lakes. There is also a 

 shortage of flowers, but there is suffi- 

 cient stock to take care of the work. 

 This is chiefly funeral work and also 

 an occasional wedding. 



C. H. A. Convention. 



The program for the convention of 

 the Canadian Horticultural Association, 

 to be held at Hamilton, Ont., August 10 

 to 13, is about completed. The morning 

 and afternoon sessions of the first day 

 will be spent discussing the advisability 

 of a new constitution and the adoption 

 of a new name. The proposed name is 

 the Society of Canadian Florists. The 

 afternoon of the second day will be 

 spent on a trip to Grimsby, where the 

 Ofield range is located. The election 

 of officers will be held the afternoon of 

 the third day and the annual banquet 

 will be held in the evening. 



The Canadian Retail Florists' Asso- 

 ciation, which was formed last year, 

 will meet Thursday morning, August 12, 

 with President George M. Geraghty in 

 the chair. Secretary Silas McFadden 

 has sent out several hundred announce- 

 ments and a large attendance of retail- 

 ers is expected.
