 t\i!is, fancy c;ilaili',inis and coleuses. S.

 .1 floral design. Mrs. F. IJush won first 

 laize on a floral design. Thos. Gowan- 

 lacti displayed some prize asters. B.

 .^ntries of roses. F. A. Thompson & Co. 

 )iad a booth in the main building.

 land. 



]i. Walker ha^ given up bis summer 

 home at Peach Isle, therefore the head 

 g.ardener, Daviij Bayer, was thrown out 

 of a position. Mr. Bayer receidly sent 

 some tomatoes, grown on plants grafted 

 on to egg plants, to President Roosevelt. 

 They 'were the largest ever seen at the 

 White House.

The Market. 



Bn>ines.~ cuiitimies to \h- ^nod for liiis 

 >e;ison (>f the year. There is a good, 

 healthy demand, and while the supply 

 is noi all that eoiiM lie desired, it is 

 fail, and Ilnre are few oi'dcrs which 

 eaniiet ]<•• lillid ill full, and with good 



stock. Se\eral decorations of good size 

 and a good run of funeral work made the 

 luisiuess. The best (lower buyers are 

 beginning to airive home, and their in- 

 liuence will be telt from now on. All 

 indications point to a good fall trade, 

 and now with the mums only a few 

 weeks ofl.' it will be on us before wo are 

 aware of it. 



Asters, whi(h have been so plentiful 

 tills season, are beginning to get a little 

 scarce now, and Die price is advancing 

 to a fair figure. Some good ones are 

 stil! to be had and they sell on sight. 

 White is still in the heaviest demand, 

 (iladioli are about out of the market 

 for this year, ;.nd we are all glad to 

 see them go, as lliey were not a paying 

 crop this season. Tul)erose« did pretty 

 well, and some good (.iies are still to be 

 had. Carnations are not much to speak 

 of yet, but are improving and within 

 a ivw weeks we ought to have some fine 

 blooms. Tiiere is a brisk demand for 

 them and they sell out clean at fair 

 juices for inferior stock. Roses are 

 imjuo\ing r.ipidly :iiid some good ones 

 :irc to be had now. Beauties especially 

 are coming in fine sjiapo and sell well. 



Florists* Society. 



Ouing to the fact tliat there was not 

 a (juorum present, the regular meeting 

 of the Florists' Society scheduled for 

 l.-ist Siiturday night had to be called off. 



It is now an open question whether 

 the society will continue to give the 

 three flower shows in its club-rooms, as 

 it has done in the past. At the next 

 meeting this sub.iect will be talked over 

 pro and con, and a decision arrived at. 

 It is a f|nestioii ivliethcr these shows
