The Weekly Florists • Review* 



May 28. 1907. 



MONTREAL. 



The Market 



The weather has been cold, but with 

 enough rain to help the gardens. The 

 city parks are beginning to look well, 

 with tulips of all colors in abundance. 

 The grass is once again green and fresh 

 looking, though the trees are still rather 

 bare. 



Business has been splendid with all the 

 florists. The week commencing May 6 

 was the horse show week here and every- 

 body got a large share of orders for 

 private and public luncheons and din- 

 ners, at which violets and valley formed 

 the chief flowers in the decorations. 



Some very good valley is seen about 

 town. The violets are about over. Daf- 

 fodils and tulips from the gardens are 

 now on the market, though rather small 

 at present. Every florist seems to have 

 a lot of hydrangeas, none of them very 

 good. Bedding plants, especially gera- 

 niums, are once more to the fore and 

 selling rapidly. 



Various Notes. 



P. McKenna & Son hope to open their 

 second store in the near future. It is 

 situated in Bennett's Theater, on St. 

 Catherine street west. They have added 

 a new rig to their establishment, a neat 

 affair of dark green. 



Miss Murray reports rushing business. 

 She always has a fine show of flowers and 

 plants. During the horse show week 

 she sold about 15,000 violets. 



J. Bennett has given up his retail trade 

 for the present and sells wholesale only. 

 Everything has been satisfactory so far, 

 though his roses and carnations are scarce 

 at present, and he is not able to fill all 

 his orders for the latter, which all the 

 florists claim are as good as those sent 

 in from the west. 



Hall & Robinson have a new rig. It 

 ought to bring custom to them, as it at- 

 tracts much attention. It is bright red, 

 with the lettering done in gold. They 

 have about, the tidiest and best man- 

 aged store in town. Mr. Hall was in 

 Three Rivers last week, decorating the 

 town hall there for the banquet given 

 to the Honorable Mr. Bureau. There 

 were about 350 guests. 



S. S. Bain has only one store now, 

 which he personally superintends. 



The Wright Floral Co. had an at- 

 tractive window during the horse show. 

 The flowers, ribbons and paper used 

 were all purple and white, nicely ar- 

 ranged in the front, with three ponies 

 (real ones) in stalls at the back. "W© 

 were sorry to hear that Mr. Gray was 

 not awarded first place for window deco- 

 rations, but suppose the judges knew 

 their business best. Tommy. 



Thi Rbview is the best paper I get. —
