The Weekly Florists' Review* 



Febbuar. 



1907. 



TORONTO. 



The Market 



Trade during last week was good, es- 

 pecially the latter part of it, and a big 

 run on funeral work cleaned up every- 

 thing that could be worked in. Good 

 roses and carnations are scarce, while 

 there appears to be about enough 

 cheaper stock to supply the demand. 

 Violets and bulb stock are coming in 

 quite plentifully, especially daffodils 

 both double and single. 



The death of Timothy Eaton, our 

 merchant prince, and probably the best 

 known man in Canada, brought a big 

 demand for funeral work, and Toronto- 

 nians saw at the family residence on 

 Lowther avenue the greatest number of 

 funeral designs ever put up for one 

 funeral. It might be here remarked 

 that it is up to the florists to impress 

 upon the undertakers, or those in charge 

 of handling the floral designs during 

 and after the funeral services, the neces- 

 sity of handling such designs with care 

 and with at least a small degree of 

 respect. The way the flowers on this 

 occasion were handled was simply dis- 

 graceful and was noted by many pres- 

 ent. In fact, all who had an oppor- 

 tunity of seeing it were of the same 

 opinion. This will have a bad eflFect 

 on florists as it will cause many to dis- 

 continue sending flowers when they are 

 handled in this way. 



Various Notes. 



We are glad to welcome back an old 

 friend, F. C. Brown, who has been for 

 the last couple of years in Philadelphia 

 and now comes back to take charge of 

 Mr. Dunlop's retail store. 



H. G, Dillemuth, late of Dunlop's, 

 who has taken over the retail business 

 of Jay & Son, of Spadian avenue, had 

 his special opening February 2. He 

 had the store beautifully decorated, with 

 an orchestra in attendance. The store 

 has been done over and is now a credit 

 to the city. D. J. 



Beaver Falls, Pa. — John H. Meyer, 

 who has been out of business for some 

 time, is planning to make a fresh start. 



Westfield, Mass. — Henry Barton, of 

 this place, not Huntington, is preparing 

 to build a rose house 100x150, eighteen 

 feet to the ridge. 



Bristol, R.' I. — Richard Dunbar and 

 his son, George, narrowly escaped se- 

 vere injuries from an explosion of illum- 

 inating gas at the greenhouses January 

 31. The gas was escaping from the 

 main pipes on Hope street, and when a 

 match was struck the explosion occurred.
