The curnation show held under the 

 auspices of the Toronto Gardeners' and 

 Florists' Association and the Horticul- 

 tural Association took place in St. 

 George's hall oh February 16. Although 

 the exhibition was not as great a suc- 

 cess in point of quantity as in former 

 years, the quality was certainly up to 

 the mark, if not ahead of other years. 

 Especially might this be said of the 

 American stock exhibited, which we re- 

 luctantly admit quite outclassed our 

 Canadian product. The exhibit of the 

 Chicago Carnation Co., which is at pres- 

 ent defender of the Canadian challenge 

 cup, was certainly fine. They put up a 

 vase pf Cardinal, a vase, of Enchant- 

 ress and a vase of Lady liountiful. 

 Lady Bountiful, scoring 95 points, cap- 

 tured the cup and thus the Chicago 

 Carnation Co. won the cup for the sec- 

 ond time. Another competitor for the 

 cup was Palmer & Son, of Lancaster, 

 N. Y., with Red Lawson. This ship 

 ment unfortunately arrived frozen and 

 consequently was not in good condi- 

 tion to compete. C. W. Ward, of the 

 Cottage Gardens Co., Exhibited Robert 

 Craig, a good red which showed up fine 

 and scored 92 points. J. E. Haines 

 exhibited by J. E. Haines, of Bethle- 

 hem, Pa., also red. scored well and 

 looked promising. E. G. Hill Co., of 

 Richmond, sent an exhibit of Lady 

 Bountiful and Cardinal which unfor- 

 tunately was delayed through a snow 

 blockade and did not arrive until 6 

 o'clock, too late for judging. This 

 stock, however, was scored and Lady 

 Bountiful scored 9.'5 and Cardinal 97 

 points. This would have captured the 

 cup had it arrived in time. 



For the best display of carnations 

 .John H. Dunlop, of this city, won first 

 and the Chicago Carnation Co. sec- 

 ond. For display of cut flowers, John 

 H. Dunlop was first and Wm. Fendley, 

 Brampton, second. For bank of plants, 

 Maiiton Bros, were first and J. H. Dun- 

 lop second. It might be noted that but- 

 side of carnations the roses exhibited 

 by Duhlop were of very fine quality, 

 considering that at present roses afe 

 practically off crop with all growers, 

 as the - weather^ has been very severe. 

 Fendlev as usual showed some fine vio

lets. His carnations were good flowers 

 but weak in stem. A shipment of Car- 

 nation My Maryland from H. Weber 

 & Sons, Oakland, Md., did not arrive 

 until two days after the show. Wm. 

 Scott, of Buflfalo, was judge and as 

 usual his awards were according to 

 merit. 



Ontario has during the past week 

 been visited by very severe weather 



and consequently the railroads were in 

 many cases badly tied up and quanti- 

 ties of cut flowers are being refused by 

 the express companies, as they cannot 

 get them through in time. In this way 

 shipping trade has been considerably 

 hampered. City trade has been good 

 and February has seen considerable im- 

 firovement over .January business.
