The Florists^ Review 



JoNB 8. 1922 



TORONTO, ONT. 



The beddinfi; stock trade liere has 

 been Kood, though perhaps a little 

 shorter than in previous years. If any- 

 thing, there has, however, been a con- 

 siderable increase in the number of 

 plants sold. From the viewpoint of the 

 florists who handle bedding stock, the 

 one tliorn in the flesli is the presence of 

 those who set up a sales place on va- 

 cant corners opposite or alongside the 

 regular florist. It is realized that it 

 would be practically impossible to pre- 

 vent the fruit man from putting in a 

 few plants, but it seems out of place to 

 see the "1-day stands," paying no busi- 

 ness tax, competing with those business 

 men who do. 



There are x)lenty of flowers, with a 

 considerable demand for design work. 



Horace J. Head, of Rochester, and 

 Harry Brant were two recent callers on 

 the trade in Toronto. 



The Toronto Retail Florists' Club 

 will hold the annual picnic at Exhibi- 

 tion park July 5. All florists are in- 

 vited. 



The month of June has brought a big 

 demand for wedding decorations, and 

 the displays at some of the larger wed- 

 dings are gorgeous. This year lilac is 

 being used to a large extent, wedding 

 bouquets being made up of lily of the 

 valley, with maidenhair fern, roses, 

 French lilac or combinations. The ef- 

 fects are pleasing, both to wearer and 

 florist. 



Montreal florists have organized for 

 the coming florists' and gardeners' 

 "Jubilee" convention, at Montreal in 

 August. President W. E. (Jroves will 

 find in Montreal a valuable corps of as- 

 sistants who will contribute greatly to 

 the success of the convention. Toronto 

 florists want their good friend, W. C. 

 Hall, to know that they are coming in 

 full force and, as chairman of the en- 

 tertainment committee, he will have a 

 large number of his friends from the 

 Queen City to look after. E. J. Hay- 

 ward is president of the committee; A. 

 C. Wiltshire, chairman of the reception 

 committee; James McKenna, of the pub- 

 licity; R. Burrows and C. A. Smith, of 

 the trade exhibits. H. J. Eddy is secre- 

 tary and, as he is also secretary of the 

 Canadian Florists' and Gardeners' As- 

 sociation, he has an assistant, T. Hill. 

 The Montreal florists have a strong com- 

 mittee and we visitors know we are go- 

 ing to be well looked after by these 

 leaders in the florists ' trade. J. J. H.
