The Weekly Florists^ Review^ 



JULT 28, 1904. 



TORONTO. 



The Market. 



■ Trade during the last week has been 

 slow and some of our florists claim it 

 is even worse than last year, while others 

 say they are about even with last year's 

 trade. I think a considerable damper was 

 put on trade by a few very hot days. This 

 week demand appears to be better and 

 the temperature a little more reasonable. 

 Amongst growers, w© find them nearly 

 all busy planting. Although no roses of 

 new stock are coming in yet, some of the 

 growers tell us they expect to be cutting 

 early in August. The supply of carna- 

 tions is shortening. Outdoor stock is 

 coming in quite plentifully. 



Various Notes. 



A. Gilchrist, Toronto Junction, had 

 his chimney struck by lightning one 

 day last week and considerable damage 

 done. 



Chas. Tid^, of S. Tidy & Sons, is at 

 present on his vacation and does not ex- 

 pect to be back until the second week in 

 August. 



The Toronto Gardeners' and Florists' 

 Association has been invited by the Dale 

 estate to visit the establishment at 

 Brampton on August 3, and I understand 

 it has accepted the invitation and will 

 make it the annual picnic and outing.
