The Market. 



The demand for flowers has assumed 

 the proportions which existed before the 

 war. The people appear to have money 

 and are spending it freely; also they 

 are giving a large number of receptions 

 and dances. While the amount of flow- 

 ers purchased for each dance may be 

 comparatively small, the aggregate 

 amounts to a great deal. The florists 

 are benefiting by this in the number of 

 corsage bouquets they are now called 

 upon to make up. 



A visit to some of the greenhouses 

 reveals a fair outlook for Christmas 

 stock. At the present moment it is 

 scarce and is probably being held for 

 the larger Christmas demand. The 

 prices have already advanced and a 

 further advance may be expected be- 

 fore Christmas. 



Various Notes. 



The regular business meeting of the 

 Toronto Eetail Florists' Club will be 

 held in its rooms December 8. The grow- 

 ers have been invited to attend. It is 

 hoped that the growers may be per- 

 suaded to cooperate with the retailers 

 for the betterment of the trade in gen- 

 eral. 



C. L. Vis, of the firm of Van Meeuwen 

 ft Tegelaar, Holland, wholesale bulb 

 merchants, was in Toronto last week 

 calling on the trade. 



The late Herman J. Simmers left an 

 estate valued at $156,813. This is left 

 to the widow, his sister, his nephews 

 and niece. The estate was chiefly real 

 estate, including shares in property on 

 Yonge street and King street and an in- 

 terest i> J. A. Simmers & Sons, Ltd. 



During the mum season there were 

 some gorgeous window displays, but at 

 the present time the demand is so great 

 that flowers are made up just as soon 

 as they are received. As a result the 

 window displays have been suffering 

 and there have been no outstanding dis- 

 plays recently. 



J. J. Higgins has a new truck.. It is 

 finished in blue enamel, with his name in 

 the usual signature script and "Say It 

 with Flowers" below. 



The park commissioner of Toronto is 

 planning a civic nursery. The land will 

 cost $35,000 and will probably be ler^ 

 cated near Brampton. J. J. H.
