Mums I Mums ! 



The season is now on. We can furnish the best stock in the market in great variety. 



Our roses were never better. RICHMOND and KILLARNEY9 our novelties^ are 



especially fine. Give us a tlial order for these. Carnations^ Violets, Orchids, Vafley 

 and everything in season at lowest market rates.

The Market 



Trade during the past week has been 

 fine and stock has moved off freely. 

 Mums are not coming as rapidly as had 

 been expected and the supply is hardly 

 equal to the demand. Especially might 

 this be said of good stock in colors; 

 these find ready sale. Carnations and 

 roses are in fair supply and all good 

 stock is pretty well cleaned up. Violets 

 are coming in quite plentifully. 



Various Notes. 



Much interest is being taken by both 

 the growers and retail men in the com- 

 ing chrysanthemum show, which is now 

 known as the Ontario Horticultural Ex- 

 hibition. On account of the change in 

 the name some people have an idea that 

 it is not the same as the old chrysan- 

 themum show. The advertising manager 

 of the exhibition called the other day 

 and made it very clear that this is no 

 pure food show or anything of that kind, 

 but a chrysanthemum show on a Very 

 large scale, with several additional fea- 

 tures in the line of table decorations. 

 There is, however, an exhibition of 

 honey which will merely be a side show 

 in ■ comparison with the chrysanthemum 

 show. The show will be held in Massey 

 Hall November 14 to 18j and as this is 

 the largest auditorium in the city the 

 show has to be conducted on a large scale 

 to meet expenses. Any information may 

 be had from Secretary H. B. Cowan, 

 Manning Chambers, Toronto. 



The reduced rates for Thanksgiving 

 brought quite a few visitors to the city. 

 Among these we noticed A. G. Stephens, 

 late of Darch & Hunter, ijondon, who is 

 about to open a store there on his own 

 account. 



J. A. Fraser, of Prescott, also gave 

 us a call. He has lately been appointed 

 fishery overseer on the St. Lawrence. 

 This leads us to remark that it is as- 

 tonishing the number of our brother 

 craftsmen who have received appoint- 

 ments under the "Whitney government. 

 We wonder if all influential florists in 

 Canada are conservatives. 



We also had a call from F. Mason and 

 wife, Peterborough, and E. Greenlaw, 

 with N. F. McCarthy, Boston. D. J.
