The Florists' Review 



Fkbuuaby 24, 1921 



TORONTO, ONT. 



The Market. 



Busiuess was fair all last week. There 

 was a good demand for flowers for St. 

 Valentine 's day. Had more advertising- 

 been done, it probably would have been 

 better. However, most of the florists 

 required additional delivery trucks and 

 were quite satisfied with the trade they 

 did. 



Some fine roses are being cut by the 

 growers in the city, as well as west 

 and north of it. They have fine stems 

 and beautiful flowers. 



Various Notes. 



A box social of the Toronto Ketail 

 Florists' Club was called for February 

 14, but the florists were busy and a 

 rush meeting of the executives was 

 called to postpone it. It is likely that 

 the box social will be held on the regu- 

 lar meeting night, March 14. 



Carl Grobba, of Mimico, is cutting 

 some fine lilies of the valley and bulbous 

 stock. The bulbous stock is fine and it 

 looks as if he would have the finest 

 Easter lilies he has yet had. 



The regular meeting of the Garden- 

 ers' and Florists' Association will be 

 held at 22 College street, Monday, 

 March 21. 



The executives of the Canadian Flo- 

 rists' and Gardeners' Association met 

 at Peterborough, February 21, to con- 

 sider plans for the next convention. It 

 is expected that it will be held at Peter- 

 borough. 



Plans are still being carried forward 

 for the F. T. D. convention to be held 

 here next fall, and visitors are assured 

 that they will be well taken care of. 

 It will be one of the best conventions 

 yet held, if work and plans count for 

 anything. All that the committees de- 

 sire is that every florist in the United 

 States plan to be represented here at 

 that time. J. J. H.

Which catches the mice, the trap 

 with cheese, or without? 



Which crop pays biggest, the one 

 that always has water when it needs 

 it, or the one that has to take its 

 chances with the rain? 



The difference between little prof- 

 its and big profits in your line of 

 business is, over and over again, 

 the difference between too little, 

 and enough, water.

 close to being prepared Success all 

 ready for use.

 exactly the thing for the man who
