The Market. 



The weather, which at the beginning 

 of the week was cold and disagreeable, 

 did not help business in any way. A 

 frost on Wednesday night, May 26, did 

 much damage, both to florists and fruit 

 growers. Warmer and brighter weather 

 has come and a good, brisk Memorial 

 day trade has cheered the storekeepers. 

 In the last three days much work has 

 been called for in porch boxes and bed- 

 ding stock. The cut flower trade has 

 been good, but little outdoor stock has 

 arrived, on account of the cold season. 

 Carnations, which had been scarce, are 

 arriving in larger quantities, but are 

 still insufficient to supply the demands. 

 They are not extra large and their 

 stems are brittle. 



A fair supply of peonies in red, pink 

 and white helped out wonderfully and 

 the quality was good. There was a 

 nice supply of Easter lilies, which sold 

 quickly. The variety of roses was 

 large, including the new rose, Stanley, 

 which seems to please the public im- 

 mensely. Pine Ward, Sunburst, Ophelia, 

 Hadley and Kaiserin sold well. Daisies 

 were plentiful. Baby gladioli were 

 plentiful, but the demand was not 

 strong. A few later varieties of gla- 

 dioli were on the market and sold 

 readily. Lily of the valley was good 

 and there was a lot of outdoor stock on 

 hand. Blue lupines came in useful. 

 Yellow and blue iris, snowballs, etc., 

 were quite acceptable for cemetery 

 bouquets. Snapdragons sold well. Sweet 

 peas were plentiful and of fair quality. 



Various Notes. 



A good delegation of the Ontario 

 Horticultural Society, of St, Catharines 

 and London, Ont., arrived on a late 

 train Saturday, May 22. On Sunday 

 they were met at Highland park by 

 Assistant Superintendent John Dunbar 

 and also by Mayor Edgerton, of this 

 city. The mayor, in his address of wel- 

 come, spoke of our "City Beautiful" 

 and briefly told of the plans of the 

 Chamber of Commerce for the beautify- 

 ing of the streets and residences. The 

 Horticultural Society was then taken 

 down to the beautiful lilacs, which are

numerous in variety. The other parks 

 were also visited and a happy and edu- 

 cational time was spent. 



Mr. Gorenson, who several years ago 

 was employed by H. E. Wilson, helped 

 through the Memorial day rush at the 

 old stand. He has been suffering from 

 rheumatism and, acting on his physi- 

 cian's advice, came east. 



Beautiful window displays for Me- 

 morial day were noticed in several 

 stores. J. B. Keller Sons had a large 

 brown magnolia wreath, with cycas tied 

 with white ribbon and with the stars 

 and stripes as a background. H. E. 

 Wilson showed a 4-foot G. A. E. badge 

 of immortelles, a large green magnolia 

 wreath with cycas and lavender rib- 

 bon on an easel, over which was draped 

 the flag, and some small magnolia
