The Florists^ Review

TORONTO, ONT. 



The Market. 



Business continues fair, with all the 

 florists preparing their plans for Christ- 

 mas trade. There appears to be plenty 

 of stock in sight and the general belief 

 is that there will be a great deal of 

 business done during the week before 

 Christmas. In fact, orders are being 

 booked now for Christmas delivery. 

 Prices, both wholesale and retail, will be 

 about the same as last year. 



Vaxious Notes. 



The feature of the week was the an- 

 nual Christmas trade show of Carl 

 Grobba, at Mimico, Ont. He enter- 

 tained the trade December 7 and 8. 

 While the greenhouses were being in- 

 spected, visitors were entertained by 

 vocal and instrumental music. Refresh- 

 ments were served at the end of the 

 afternoon. Included in the display were 

 beautiful specimens of cyclamens, dra- 

 caenas, poinsettias, begonias, crotons, 

 pandanus, rubber trees, ferns and vari- 

 ous other seasonable plants and greens. 

 In addition, there were blooms for 

 Christmas cutting in quantity. The 

 steady stream of visitors expressed de- 

 light with the whole show. Foundations 

 are in for several extensions to the 

 Grobba greenhouses. .T. J. H. 



RICHMOND, VA. 



John L. Ratcliffe entertained 550 

 orphan children at the Jefferson hotel 

 Saturday afternoon, December 11. The 

 dinner, which was an event in the his- 

 tory of Richmond, was a Christmas fete 

 given in honor of Mrs. Buford. The chil- 

 dren were gathered from the various 

 charitable organizations of the city. 



Mr. Ratcliffe, who was indefatigable 

 in his efforts to entertain his young 

 guests, was assisted by a group of 

 ladies. There was music, singing by 

 the children and a real good time. The 

 affair was a tremendous success.
