ing, when the many mirrors have been 

 placed, extending completely around 

 the store. There will be added needed 

 store space and extra window space. 

 Fifteen extra large wooden tubs made 

 from George F. Lane's scientific designs 

 will be used in displaying large speci- 

 mens of palms and one particularly fine 

 cibotium. Mr. Lane is chairman of the

 Bose societies, to be held here next

Opening of the new $1,000,000 Bond 

 hotel Thursday evening, September 1, 

 was the occasion for some good busi- 

 ness. Aside from its natural beauty 

 and richness of tone, the lobby was 

 aglow with more than a score of large 

 flower baskets, filled with magnificent 

 bouquets, and numerous flower pieces. 

 Coombs and George F. Lane furnished 

 fifteen or more baskets. Others who 

 furnished baskets were Spear & Mc- 

 Manus, and Welch's Flower Shop. 

 Coombs had the decorations for the 

 ballroom, furnishing palms and other 

 plants. Coombs has the contract for 

 keeping boxes and tubs of plants in 

 first-class shape at this up-to-date hos- 

 telry. C. B. M.

The Market. 



Business has been rather slow during 

 the last week, but now that the people 

 are returning from their summer cot- 

 tages we can expect it to take an up- 

 ward turn. The continued warm weather 

 lias kept the people away from the city 

 longer than usual this year. 



There are plenty of flowers, and some 

 choice specimens of gladioli and asters 

 have been shown, in spite of the fact 

 that tlie early aster crop was a failure. 



Various Notes. 



Arrangements have been completed 

 with the King Edward hotel reserving 

 the wli(>le mezzanine floor for the F. T. 

 D. convention. Twenty small rooms 

 and one large room will house the ex- 

 hibits. The convention liall is on the 

 same floor, but separated from these 

 rooms by a wide corridor, so that there 

 is no chance of any of the meetings 

 being disturbed. Permanent offices are 

 now located at the Toronto Retail 

 Florists" Chil) rooms, ui 12 Adelaide 

 street, west, and any correspondence re- 

 garding exhibition space, souvenir pro- 

 gram or hotel reservation will receive a 

 prompt reply. All attending the con-
