The Florists' Review 



JtJLT 80, 1914. 



BRAMPTON, ONT. 



The Market. 



The summer trade increases year by 

 year, and although home gardens are 

 cultivated more extensively than ever, 

 there is a demand for greenhouse-grown 

 stock in the dog days that shows to 

 what an extent the flower-buying habit 

 has grown on the general public and is 

 quite encouraging. 



The army worm has done a vast 

 amount of damage lately within a 

 radius of 100 miles and has made it- 

 self felt already in the immediate 

 neighborhood. AH the pests imagin- 

 able are out this year; their presence 

 is attributed to the dry weather, which 

 has continued almost uninterruptedly 

 for the last eight weeks. 



At the Dale Estate. 



Golden Glow chrysanthemums are be- 

 ing cut in small quantities at the Dale 

 Estate; this establishes a record for 

 early mum cutting. Mr, Parsons, the 

 grower, is proud of his achievement, 

 but is losing a good deal of sleep at 

 night in anticipation of the bug trouble, 

 which is just about due. The many 

 new varieties of mums listed this year 

 have created an abnormal demand for 

 this class of stock, and the plant trade 

 this year is heavier than it has ever 

 been. 



Good sweet peas are being cut in 

 large quantities, and gladioli are due 

 this week from the fields near Simcoe. 

 Centaureas are being sent out for the 

 first time and antirrhinums, which have 

 not been grown here for seven years, 

 are meeting with considerable demand 

 at the hands of the florists. 



A large part of the first crop of roses 

 has shown much better blooms than 

 during many previous seasons, probably 

 owing to the fact that building opera- 

 tions have not interfered with growing 

 conditions this year. White Killarneys 

 are doing particularly well and the 

 various new kinds of yellow and pink 

 roses show great promise for the near 

 future. 



Various Notes. 



The convention of the Canadian Hor- 

 ticultural Association is close at hand; 

 the first session opens Tuesday, August 

 4, at St. George's hall, Toronto. The 

 executive committee has been hard at 

 work during the last few weeks, mak- 

 ing preparations, and it is to be hoped 

 that judicious portioning out of busi- 

 ness and pleasure will attract still more 

 members to this worthy organization. 

 Members of the association are to be 

 the guests of Miller & Sons, Bracondale, 

 and later of Sir Henry Pellatt, Tues- 

 day afternoon, August 4, and Wednes- 

 day a special train will bring them out 

 to view the Brampton greenhouses. 



Chas. W. Norton, for seven years a 

 designer at the Dale Estate, left Mon- 

 day, July 20, to take up work in con- 

 nection with the Children's Aid So- 

 ciety. On the eve of his departure, Mr. 

 Norton was the recipient of an address 

 and a handsome armchair from the of- 

 fice and shipping room staff. 



Holidays are the order of the day. 

 T. W. Duggan has gone to Muskoka; 

 W. G. Peacock to New York and Bos- 

 ton; E. Hipkin and son to England; 

 Miss B. Dale to Quebec, and H. G. 

 MuUiB to Aylsmer. W. G. P. 



Greensboro, N. C. — Howard Gardiner 

 is building an addition to his green- 

 houses.

JOY! 



thing about it. It*s a real red. It is the kind of Carnation that proves 

 the florists' friend. Shipped over a distance, it will look as good on arrival 

 as when sent. This feature appeals to us because we know what it means 

 to the man who is depending on us. 



JOY has been described by Mr. E. H. Blameuser, of Niles Center, 111.— 

 the man who raised it— as "a strong grower, early, very free and con- 

 tinuous bloomer, with strong calyx and good stem." That should be good 

 enough for anybody.

FIELD-GROWN ft^^^P'"'' 



This is not the ordinary run of surplus stock, the leftovers from a grower's 

 own planting— it is stock grown by a specialist on purpose to sell to the 

 trade. Everybody knows that our cut blooms are the finest it is possible to 

 produce, and that our business in rooted cuttings has reached enormous pro- 

 portions because of the fine quality of the stock we ship— well, these field- 

 grown- plants are of the same high quality as the rest of our product. They 

 were grown specially to win your approval.
