The Florists' Review 



SXFTEHBBB 11, 1913. 



ago the firm had a card in the window 

 announcing the offer of two dozen as- 

 ters or two dozen roses for $1 for the 

 afternoon only. 



Joe Browne, of Lischey's Gardens, 

 continues in poor health. He has 

 stopped all building operations, and 

 says he has decided to wait until he 

 sees how things turn before doing any- 

 thing. 



Leo Geny has returned from his vaca- 

 tion, spent in Louisville and Cincinnati. 

 He says he is feeling fine and that he 

 had the time of his life. He says that 

 business has been good during the last 

 week, with a large demand for funeral 

 designs. 



McKay, Eeece & Co. say that there 

 is not a great deal going on in the seed 

 line so far, and that business will not 

 be lively until there is a general rain- 

 fall. They say that in their entire ex- 

 perience as seedsmen they have never 

 known a more unfavorable season than 

 this summer. F. B. 



During the last year Mclntyre Bros, 

 have expended thousands of dollars in 

 alterations and additions. The im- 

 provements include a new iron-frame 

 greenhouse at Woody Crest station. 

 The firm has also put into service two 

 handsome auto delivery cars, which 

 are something of an innovation in the 

 florists' trade in this city. The cars 

 were built by the Waller & Porter 

 Carriage Co. A car of the same sort 

 will be put into use by Geny Bros, this 

 fall. 



BBAMPTON, ONT. 



The Toronto Exhibition. 



Exceptionally warm weather con- 

 tinues and a great many of the men 

 are taking a day or two off to visit the 

 Toronto exhibition, as both inside and 

 outside work is well advanced for the 

 season. 



Sir Henry Pellat's gardener, T. Mc- 

 Vittie, again took the big prize for the 

 finest group displayed in the horticul- 

 tural section, with Thomas Manton run- 

 ning a close second. Among the many 

 beautiful exhibits was a collection of 

 about 300 rose blooms grown outdoors 

 and shown by John T. Moore, of To- 

 ronto. There were various types and 

 varieties in great size and magnificent 

 colors. 



The floral designs proved a greater 

 attraction than usual. The bridal bou- 

 quets and presentation baskets also 

 were prettily and daintily arranged. 

 S. A. Frost took first prize for bridal 

 bouquets; T. Manton, second; A. S. 

 Jennings, third. S. A. Frost also se- 

 cured first prize for baskets, with T. 

 Manton second and C. E. Lewis third. 



The original designs attracted much 

 attention. A. S. Jennings carried off 

 first prize for a sailing yacht in white, 

 and S. A. Frost again proved his 

 artistic ability in a "wheel of time," 

 which took second prize. 



Various Notes. 



John Chambers, Sr., former commis- 

 sioner of parks in Toronto, died August 

 31. Further particulars will be found 

 in this week's obituary column. 



The entertainment and supper given 

 by employees of the Dale Estate, in 

 honor of Superintendent Edward Dale's 

 return from Europe, took place on 

 Wednesday evening, September 3, and 

 was a great success. J. Dunkley, T. 

 Morris, A. Kensley and W. Little were 

 responsible for the arrangements.
