flowers. It is hoped that the public will 

 not be given an opportunity for writing 

 such letters after Mothers' day. An- 

 other reason for maintaining the exist- 

 ing prices at Mothers' day is that the 

 jewelers, book stores and post card 

 houses are making a strong bid for 

 Mothers' day trade. Boosting the prices 

 of flowers in the face of such competi- 

 tion will be fatal to the florists' trade. 

 The Toronto Hetail Florists' Club 

 held a social evening April 24.

S. W. Parsons, 620 St. Clarens avenue, 

 is planning to go into business in the 

 near future. He was twelve years in 

 the florists' trade in England. 



FORT WAYNE, IND. 



The Market. 



General business following Easter has 

 been good. There are many Easter 

 lilies coming in now that did not arrive 

 in time for Easter. The price is reason- 

 able. Call as are in good demand and 

 are of good quality. Roses are in good 

 supply, but a scarcity of carnations 

 prevails. There is a good demand for 

 orchids and the quality is fine. Snap- 

 dragons are a general favorite and are 

 being used extensively. I'lants are sell- 

 ing well for hospital orders. The pros- 

 pects are good for a record business for 

 Mothers' day. There will be a scarcity 

 of carnations in the local market. 



Various Notes. 



Kalph Tinkliam has a new Dodge de- 

 livery car. This firm furnished tlic 

 (lecor.atioiis for several tiaiujucts. At 

 the Rotary Club ban(|U('t the decora- 

 tions were mounds of spring flowers 

 and an individual miniature rose tree 

 for each guest. Rusinoss, in general, 

 is on the increase. 



The Wenninyluiff Florists have had a 

 good week ami rejiort liusiiu'ss as good. 



W. .1. & M. S. Vesey furnished sev- 

 eral thousand roses for the anniversary 

 and opening of the Indiana Furniture 

 Co. 



The ever-increasing demand for roses 

 has been felt by the Flick Floral Co., 

 and the firm has decided to convert sev- 

 eral of the houses in whidi jilants have 

 been grown to the growing of roses. 

 Some fine Faster lilies find snapdragons 

 arc seen here. S. N.
