TORONTO. 



The Market 



Trade during the last week has been 

 quite up to the average, and Toronto 

 florists are quite willing to take it easy 

 after the rushing business that was 

 done at Christmas. This year the re- 

 tail men were up against a hard propo- 

 sition at Christmas in delivering plants, 

 which, it might be remarked, sold ex- 

 tremely well this season. Some of our 

 retail men say that they have had quite 

 a few to replace; but frqm the volume 

 of business they are not complaining 

 about having to make good a few plants, 

 especially as the price they obtained 

 left a good margin. 



Convention Preparations. 



At present the Toronto florists are 

 talking and working for the coming con- 

 vention of the American Carnation So- 

 ciety, which is to be held here January 

 23 and 24. The exhibition and conven- 

 tion will be held in the City hall, and 

 all arrangements have been completed 

 with the customs department to allow 

 all goods bearing tags and labels, fur- 

 nished by Secretary Herr, to be deliv- 

 ered to the City hall immediately, with- 

 out going through the usual channels of 

 red tape the customs require. This is 

 a very important item, as exhibits can 

 now be rushed from the station direct 

 to the exhibition hall. Arrangements 

 have been made with the express com- 



pany to have wagons waiting for the 

 trains. It looks as if nothing had been 

 left undone to insure the speedy deliv- 

 ery of exhibits from the United States. 

 The reception and banquet commit- 

 tees have been busy completing arrange- 



raiVERY now and then a well

ments for entertaining the visiting dele- 

 gates, and it is the intention to hold a 

 large banquet on the night of January 

 24, at the King Edward's hotel. The 

 ladies are invited. 

 The enthusiasm displayed by the Ca- 



nadian florists, and especially the To- 

 ronto men, is quite marked, and Mr. 

 Dunlop, the president, is receiving the 

 hearty cooperation of all connected with 

 the trade, to make the Toronto conven- 

 tion one of the best, if not the best, in 

 the history of the association. The 

 Canadian florists feel that it is quite 

 an honor to have the American asso- 

 ciation come to Toronto, and it is up 

 to them to make the convention a suc- 

 cess, and, if present indications can be 

 taken as any guide, it will not be for 

 lack of enthusiasm of the Canadian 

 trade if it is not a success. 



Members should not forget to get a 

 certificate from the station agent when 

 they purchase tickets, so as to get the 

 one-third fare return. Purchase a first- 

 class single trip ticket to Toronto and 

 ask for a certificate, not a receipt. 



BALTIMORE. 



TheMavket 



Business last week was no more than 

 could be expected. The weather condi- 

 tions hampered it somewhat and the en- 

 tire week was disagreeable and not much 

 sunshine. Blooms of all kinds were short, 

 but enough to supply the demand and 

 commanded fairly good prices. A large 

 amount of funeral work was disposed of. 



Considering the cloudy weather carna- 

 tions are doing well, yet there are thou- 

 sands of healthy buds waiting for the 

 sunshine, when the usual supply will 

 again be on the market. Violets are 

 again plentiful and bringing their regu- 

 lar price. Boses are scarce, due to the 

 want of bright, clear weather. Paper
