The Florists' Re\^ew

BEAMPTON, ONT. 



The Market. 



"Quiet" is the best word to express 

 the condition of business and there 

 seems to be little likelihood of much 

 life among the wholesalers until 

 Mothers' day arrives. The growers, 

 however, are busy with the young 

 stock, and as labor is plentiful and the 

 season exceptionally early, work is 

 much farther advanced this year than 

 usual. iNo immigrants are applying 

 for work this year, probably owing to 

 the fact that labor is scarce over the 

 water, but the general slackness 

 throughout the Dominion has made it 

 easy to secure all the help necessary 

 for the coming season. 



Stock is selling at lower prices than 

 for many years and there is a great 

 deal of competition. Beauty roses, cut 

 back in February in anticipation of 

 Mothers' day, have come on rather 

 rapidly, and it is doubtful if there will 

 be nearly enough to supply the demand 

 for that occasion. The same applies to 

 other roses and also to carnations, 

 which are being brought in at the rate 

 of about 23,000 and 20,000 daily. 



Various Notes. 



E. A. Parsons is now in full charge 

 of the carnation and mum sections at 

 the Dale Estate. C. Hotchkiss and H. 

 Middleton are both away on a trip to 

 England. W. G. P. 



OYSTEE BAY, N. Y. 



The regular monthly meeting of the 

 Oyster Bay Horticultural Society was 

 held on Wednesday evening, April 28, 

 at Fireman's hall, with President 

 Joseph Bobinson in the chair. There 

 was a good attendance of members and 

 the exhibition tables were nicely filled, 

 although the weather was rainy and 

 disagreeable. 



Russell Ebbits, Frank Devers and 

 Michael Maher were elected associate 

 members and Joseph Stirling, Marino 

 Grella, George Wood and Harry Hutch- 

 ings were elected active members. 



The dates of the 1915 shows were set 

 as follows: Spring show, June 11; 

 dahlia show, October 5 and 6; chrysan- 

 themum show, November 2. 



It was decided to have leaflets print- 

 ed setting forth the best means of de- 

 stroying tent caterpillars, and to mail 

 the leaflets to all in the vicinity who 

 might be interested. Floyd Blowers 

 spoke on spraying and the members 

 joined freely in the discussion that 

 followed. A. R. Kennedy, Sec'y.
