The Weekly Florists' Review^ 



OCTOBBB 19, 1906. 



HNTICIPATING a flower show in Buffalo this fall, wc planted early in May, one house 

 of Chrysanthemums, consisting of the following exhibition varieties: Merza, W.R. 

 Church, Convention Hall, Wm. Duckham, White Eaton, Yellow Eaton, Leila Filkins, 

 Nellie Pockett, Chcltoni, Col. Appleton, S. T. Wright, Mrs. E. Thirkell, Henry Barnes, Mrs. 

 Nathan Smith, Princess, General Hutton and many of this year's introduction. From pres- 

 ent indications we have every reason to expect a large percentage of high grade blooms and 

 as we have an abundance of commercial stock for our own use, we shall be pleased to cor- 

 respond with intending exhibitors, or retailers planning a store exhibition, with the view of 

 disposing of these blooms. ^„^ ^^^ SCOTT CO., CORFU, N. Y. 



Mention The Review when you write. 



TORONTO. 



The Market. 



During the past few weeks the weath- 

 er has been very warm and consequent- 

 ly roses and carnations have been rushed 

 along, causing considerable over-stock in 

 roses, while carnations have moved oflF 

 fairly well; in fact, the demand for 

 white carnations has exceeded the supply 

 nearly all the time, and prices have been 

 stiff. Dahlias, having recovered from 

 the effects of the early frost, are again 

 blooming freely. Mums are coming in 

 good quantities, especially white. Violets 

 are plentiful. 



The retail men all claim that business 

 is ahead of former years at this time. Of 

 course some of this may be attributed 

 to the very large amount of funeral work 

 done during this month. 



We expect that during the next two 

 weeks business will be somewhat quiet, 

 as we always find that after the first 

 supply of mums the demand is not as 

 keen for a couple of weeks, or in other 

 words until the first supply is cleaned up. 

 This may be attributed to the fact that 

 chrysanthemums rather enjoy the at- 

 mosphere of a drawing room, in fact too 

 >vell to suit the average florist. 



Variota Notes. 



Among the growers stock is all look- 

 ing fine and prospects are bright for a 

 good winter. The bright weather has 

 been of very material benefit to the late 

 planted roses and carnations. 



The new firm of Hughes & Jennings, 

 of "Weston, has made its first shipment 

 of carnations. Although late getting 

 the houses up, the stock is in very nice 

 condition. 



E. Crowhurst, of Mimico, has been 

 sending in very nice Bergmann, * which 

 were about first on the market. 



Much comment has been made of late 

 as to whether the retailer or the gro^rer 

 was making the most money. That ques- 

 tion has been settled this fall so far as 

 Toronto florists are concerned. One of 

 the prominent growers is now sporting 

 an automobile, while another one has 

 just captured a challenge cup given by 

 the Queen City Yacht Club for his new 

 gasoline launch. The retail men are 

 evidently out of it, as the honors are 

 with the grower. D. J.
