The Florists^ Review 



December 30, 1920 



TORONTO, ONT. 



The Maxket. 



The opening of the Christmas season 

 in Toronto was rather disappointing to 

 some of the florists, but the two days 

 prior to Christmas were excellent, and 

 as a result all members of the trade were 

 elated. Additional help was put on the 

 last two days both in the stores and for 

 delivery purposes. The growers who 

 had sent in all the stock they had 

 planned for the holidays were ap- 

 proached and consented to search their 

 greenhouses for any stock which had es- 

 caped their notice. It has been reported 

 that last Thursday and Friday were 

 record-breakers in the amount of busi- 

 ness done on the last two days before 

 Christmas in the history of Toronto. 



In spite of the prolonged dull weather 

 in December, there was an exceptionally 

 fine stock on the market. Azaleas and 

 cyclamens were in abundance and sold 

 rapidly. Both the buyers of azaleas be- 

 fore the war and the new buyers of to- 

 day purchased heavily, and as a result 

 the large stocks were disposed of. In 

 fact, the growers were not able to meet 

 the demand. 



Various Notes. 



Telegraph business during the Christ- 

 mas season was excellent, according to 

 the florists here. Those who feature 

 wire service here had good incoming 

 business and many report a large num- 

 ber of orders sent to florists in other 

 cities. 



The Gardeners' and Florists' Associa- 

 tion held its regular meeting December 

 20, with a large attendance. It was de- 

 cided to have a question box; so at 

 future meetings those wishing informa- 

 tion can obtain it by dropping their 

 questions in the box. The next meeting 

 will be open and an address will be 

 given by Alexander Simpson on botan- 

 ical garden schemes. Arrangements will 

 be made for the annual social, which is 

 to be held in February. The exhibition 

 of begonias, poinsettias and cypripedi- 

 ums was exceptionally good. 



J. A. Neal recently purchased a new 

 delivery truck, with which he will at- 

 tempt to keep up with his increased 

 business. J. J. H.

CHRYSANTHEMUMS 



The highest quality in Chrysanthemums is accorded 

 our products by the majority of Commercial growers. 



A few so-called Exhibition varieties under the best 

 state of cultivation have in a degree Commercial 

 qualities, but such qualities are greatly depleted 

 under conditions slightly adverse. In other words, 

 there is little or no middle ground—they are either 

 good or bad. 



In considering Commercial qualities, the best returns 

 for the labor bestowed designate the varieties most 

 useful to the grower. 



A list of up-to-date varieties comprising new, re- 

 cent introductions, and the best of the older kinds, 

 will be furnished upon request.
