The Weekly Florists' Review* 



April 11, 1M7. 



TORONTO. 



The Market 



Trade since Easter has, as usual after 

 a holiday, been quiet and stock has been 

 coming in plentifully. Carnations are 

 quoted as low as $10 per thousand, with 

 few asking for quantities. 



Easter trade was a record-breaker in 

 point of volume of business, and with 

 the large supply it left it up to the pub- 

 lie to make the business from the re- 

 tailers' standpoint; and they made good. 

 A noticeable feature was the large sup- 

 ply of good flowering plants. These 

 found ready sale and it is quite notice- 

 able that at Easter plants are rapidly 

 displacing cut flowers in public favor. 

 It is up to the cut flower growers to do 

 something to hold the advantage they 

 have had for years. There is a strong 

 feeling that the day for raising the 

 prices at Easter is at an end and that cut 

 flower growers will have to maintain the 

 same price at Easter as is in force be- 

 fore. With plants this is the case, and 

 retailers claim that is why plants are 

 so much more salable. 



Dunlop's had a fine line of plants of 

 all kinds from their own conservatories. 

 Simmons' store was a bower of beauty, 

 with all the new electric fixtures going. 

 His lilies and azaleas were particularly 

 fine. Tidy & Son, as usual, had a store 

 and conservatory full of the best selec- 

 tion from surrounding greenhouses, to- 

 gether with some fine imported stock. 

 Jennings had an immense stock of lilies 

 and sold out early in the rush Friday. 

 He had to do some tall hustling to re- 

 stock. H. G. Dillemuth had his new 

 wagon out for the Easter rush and this 

 helped to handle the big trade he was 

 favored with. The advantage of a con- 

 servatory with a rear entrance makes a 

 great difference in handling a rush such 

 as he had on Saturday. 



Among the wholesalers, lilies were sold 

 out by Thursday and, in fact, many 

 were sold out as early as Tuesday. Mil- 

 ler & Sons' immense stock held out until 

 Thursday; then he had to refuse many 

 orders. 



The shipping trade was heavy in both 

 plants and cut flowers. D. J. Sinclair 

 imported a large shipment of fancy 

 Beauties from the States, which arrived 

 in splendid condition. 



The greatest seller in the cut flower 

 line was violets and it is certain To- 

 ronto never saw so many as at Easter. 

 Everything sold up well but some of the 

 large wholesalers took stage fright 

 Thursday and pulled the price down. 



Findley, of Brampton, must have 

 picked an enormous crop, if his Toronto 

 customers can be relied on, as they all 

 claim to have handled great quantities. 



D.J. 



OLEAN, N. Y. 



Llewellyn, of whom mention was made 

 last week as having moved to 213 North 

 Union street, now has the finest store and 

 best location of any one in the florists' 

 line in this city. He reports a large 

 Easter trade; in fact, more than double 

 that of 1906, having sold all the high- 

 priced stock. 



D. B. Herron also reports a fine Easter 

 trade, with bright prospects for spring 

 business. 



F. H. Johnson, who has been confined 

 to the house for several weeks, is out 

 again and reports a good Easter trade.
