TORONTO. 



The Market. 



Trade during the last few weeks has 

 been on the quiet side, at least the 

 wholesalers imagine it has been, on ac- 

 count of the great amount of stock that 

 has been coming in. I think with the 

 most of them that the receipts are quite 

 equal, if not ahead, of other years, and 

 the abundance of stock has made it dif- 

 ficult for everything to be cleaned up; 

 especially in carnations, violets and bulb 

 stock is this noticeable. Easter lilies are 

 coming, and from present appearances 

 will be plentiful around Toronto, 

 although we hear in many of the out- 

 side points that stock is behind. 



Variotss Notes. 



J. S. Simmons has just finished the 

 alterations for his enlarged store. He 

 has taken over the store next to him 

 and made the two stores into one. This 

 he has carried out right through the 

 three upper floors, and has fitted these 

 up for ofSces of various kinds. He has 

 put in a complete new steam plant, and 

 has electric Ught and gas all through 

 the bmlding. His store will be one of 

 the finest, if not the finest, in Canada, 

 when he has it finished. He intends, in 

 the fall, to take out the present front 

 and put in a new front. He is using all 

 the modern ideas for convenience as 

 well as style and, with the great amount 

 of floor space that he will have, his 

 store will be a credit to Canada. 



A number of the Toronto florists went 

 to London to attend a meeting of the 

 executive committee of the Canadian 

 Horticultural Association, as well as 

 taking in the carnation exhibition in 

 that town. The delegates did not ex- 

 actly walk to London, but the time we 

 made would leave the impression that 

 we were traveling on a slow freight. 

 However, after we arrived there every- 

 thing was made quite lively for us. The 

 exhibition was a good one, and the

quality and the quantity of the carna- 

 tions put up were fine. J. Gammage & 

 Son had a splendid exhibit, showing 

 some White Perfection, and a number 

 of standard varieties well grown. F. 

 Dicks, London's carnation specialist, 

 had some fine standard varieties. J. H. 

 Dunlop, Toronto; "W. J. Lawrence, 

 Eglinton; Dale Estate, Brampton, and 

 W. Fendley, Brampton, sent exhibits of 

 carnations of the best commercial 

 varieties. It might be remarked that 

 all the carnation stock exhibited was 

 much ahead of the Canadian grown 

 carnations that were shown at the carna- 

 tion convention show in Toronto. The 

 bright weather we have had the last few 

 weeks put some strength into the stems, 

 so that the stock showed up to much 

 better advantage. F. E. Pierson, of 

 Tarrytown, N. Y., sent an exhibit of 

 Winsor and White Enchantress. These 

 two proiliise to be. good commercial 

 varieties. 



A meeting of the executive committee 

 of the Canadian Horticultural Associa- 

 tion was held, and a draft of the pro- 

 gram for the annual convention was 

 made. If we get all the papers that are 

 down on the list we should certainly 

 have an interesting meeting next fall in

London, as there are many papers down 

 which touch on live subjects in connec- 

 tion with the flower trade. In the 

 afternoon the delegates visited the 

 greenhouses of J. Gammage & Son and 

 found everything in fine shape for 

 Easter. Especially admired were their 

 bench of Easter lilies and house of 

 Primala obconica in full bloom. Their 

 new range, which is devoted principally 

 to carnations, is fine. The firm intends 

 putting up another large house in the 

 spring.
