TORONTO, ONT. 



The Market. 



There continues to be an abundance of 

 stock, which is retailing at a low figure 

 And has the eflEect of keeping the stores 

 B little busier than they otherwise would 

 be. The low price is an inducement for 

 the public to buy, and the retailer makes 

 -at least a small return to help pay sum- 

 jiier expenses. 



Of course, there is a certain demand 

 for wedding decorations, though these 

 at present are small. Funeral designs 

 and sprays are asked for occasionaUy. 

 Business continued good until the middle 

 of August. Since then there has been a 

 falling off. This is only temporary, for 

 the people will begin to return to the 

 city, and early in September the rush 

 will start again. 



}. Various Notes. 



Harry Brandt has been calling on the 

 trade. 



S. Dahlgren has returned from a motor 

 trip through the eastern states. 



Toronto florists are wishing Edward 

 Gale, of Dunlop's, every success as he 

 leaves to take the management of the 

 John Connon Co. store, at Hamilton. 

 Ikfr. Gale came to Dunlop's seven years 

 ago from the John Connon Co. and has 

 been making up designs for Dunlop's 

 during that period. Now he returns to 

 Hamilton as manager of the store in 

 which he served his apprenticeship. Mr. 

 Gale was a member of the executive 

 committee of the Toronto Retail Flo- 

 rists ' Club and an active worker. 



At the John Connon Co. store, at 

 Hamilton, W. E. Groves stated that 

 business has been good and is growing. 

 This is an attractive store with a wide 

 tiled window. The basket lighting ef- 

 fects in the store are a feature. Re- 

 cently Frank B. Smith resigned to go 

 into business for himself. Edward Gale 

 will take up the duties of manager 

 September 6. 



The Arcade Florist is planning many 

 improvements, which include raising the 

 roof two feet, moving the east wall five 

 feet and building it of glass to permit a 

 full view of the store from that side; 

 the opening of the basement for trade 

 and the tiling of both the ground and 

 basement floors. The window is a wide 

 tiled one with two fountains. 



Frank B. Smith, Ltd., has just been 

 incorporated, with n capital of $40,000, 

 and has opened an attractive store at 33 

 King street, west. Mr. Smith has two 

 deep-set windows, the walls are covered 

 with mirrors and the woodwork and fur- 

 niture are finished in ivory. He held an 

 excellent opening, Saturday, August 21. 

 He joined the F. T. D. and has pur- 

 chased a fine new truck for delivery pur- 

 poses. 



The annual meeting of the Toronto 

 Retail Florists' Club will be held Sep- 

 tember 13. 



The opening meeting of the Garden- 

 ers' and Florists' Association will be 

 held at the new rooms, 22 College street, 

 Tuesday, September 21. 



The new $1,000,000 Pantaget theater 

 opened Saturday evening, August 28. 

 The flowers were supplied by J. J. Hig- 

 gins. Among them were a horseshoe
