NOTICE 



Due to the adverse conditions, we have in sight for the holidays 

 comparatively few cut flowers of our own growing, and being 

 unable to obtain satisfactory stock from outside sources of supply, we regret that we will be unable to fill, at 

 that time, any orders, other than for plants, sent us by our florist friends and others.

TORONTO, ONT. 



Tlie Market. 



Flowers have taken another advance 

 this week and yet another is in sight 

 for Christmas week. The prices for 

 Christmas are in general twenty-five per 

 cent ahead of the Christmas prices last 

 year. In fact, the wholesale prices are 

 so high that few if any of the florists 

 are carrying any violets. 



The demand for flowers is on the in- 

 crease and dealers are doing a bigger 

 business than ever before in the history 

 of Toronto florists. It is expected that 

 the Christmas trade will be a record 

 one, but on account of tlie large increase 

 in wholesale prices the profits will be 

 less. A visit to the greenhouses of the 

 growers sliows that there is every ])ros- 

 pect of a fair supply for Christmas 

 trade, but not sufficient to take care of 

 the entire holiday demand. One dealer 

 has rented an adjacent store to hanille 

 parcels for delivery and shipment. 



Retail Florists' Club. 



At a meeting of tlic Toronto Retail 

 Florists' Club held Monday, December 

 8, one dealer showed a window card he 

 was using, stating that because the 

 growers were charging such an unneces- 

 sarily high price, no violets were being 

 handled. Other dealers liked the i<lea 

 and stated tliat tliey intended to follow 

 suit. 



"^he growers are to be invited to an 

 oyster sup]>er the first meeting in Jan- 

 uary, when tlie club will make several 

 recommendations to tliem and will dis- 

 cuss with them questions for the bet- 

 terment of the trade in general. 



The club has liad a piano installed in 

 its rooms and it is expected that the 

 instrument will add to the enjoyment 

 of the social evenings. There will be no 

 social meeting this month. 



The annual dance of the club will be 

 held in February. A committee is at 

 present searching for a large enough 

 hall. J. J. H.
