TORONTO. 



The Market 



Trade during the past week has been 

 of about the usual September charac- 

 ter, with nothing unusual about it. Quite 

 a number of small weddings have taken 

 place, but none of them called for more 

 than a few small bouquets. Consider- 

 able funeral work has been on the go, 

 but most of the pieces were small. 



Asters and gladioli are shortening con- 

 siderably, while roses and carnations ap- 

 pear to be coming very slowly. All the 

 growers report the stock looking well and 

 blooms will be more plentiful in a short 

 time. Geo. Allin, of Toronto Junction, 

 is sending in some very nice carnations 

 and Beauties, although the cut is lim- 

 ited. 



The Fall Exhibition. 



The exhibition brought in the largest 

 attendance of out-of-town visitors that 

 has yet been recorded. The competition 

 in the floral department was keen. W. 

 A. Adams, of BuflFalo, acted as judge for 

 the floral designs and cut flowers. Jos. 

 Bennett, of ^♦^ontreal. was judge of 



plants and plant arrangements. The fol- 

 lowing is a list of the awards: 



Bouquet, hand or bridal, first, the Rosary; 

 second, J. H. Dunlop; third, J. 8. SlmuioiiB. 



Funeral design, flat, not to exceed fourteen 

 Inches, first, J. S. Simmons; secoMd, W. Jay 

 & Son; third, Holland.. 



Funeial harp, not to exceed thirty -six Inches 

 finished, first. Jay; second, Dnnlop; third, Man- 

 ton Bros. 



Floral design for table, first, Simmons; sec- 

 ond. Jay; third, Dunlop. 



Best arranged basket of c«t Sowers, first, 

 Simmons; second, Dunlop. 



It might be mentioned in this connection 

 that J. S. Simmons was ruled out on his 

 36-inch harp by having the base, which 

 was a flat mat, thirty-nine inches. The 

 design was an elegant piece of work, 

 and the judge made the statement pri- 

 vately afterwards that he would have 

 awarded it first had it been within the 

 required measurements. Holland, the 

 Queen street florist, put in a harp which 

 was three inches too high, and which was 

 also ruled out. 



In roses and carnations. J. H. Dunlop took 

 first and Manton Bros, second, being the only 

 two exhibitors In this class.

 moved to the College Flower Shop's old
