CYCLAMEN SEED-New Crop 



MICHELL'S FANCY GIANT STRAIN 



If you want thrifty plants that will bloom freely and produce gigantic bloom, then our 

 Fancy Giant Cyclamen is the strain to grow. It is acknowledged by all who have tried it to 

 be the cream of selection. Our seed is grown for us in England by a leading specialist who 

 has received numerous First Prizes for this strain. „ ,^ ,,.^

people, from 100 to 300 a day, and they 

 aJl are pleased with the store, which is 

 one of the handsomest in that section of 

 the city. 



Schiller's west side store, originally 

 planned as a building of one story, ex- 

 clusively for the florists' business, is 

 being completed as a two-story build- 

 ing. The upper story is to be used 

 as a free reading room by the Christian 

 Scientists, and it is being arranged to 

 meet their requirements. 



A study of the rose show report in- 

 dicates that the show of itself was a 

 financial success, clearing $71, but the 

 entertainment was otherwise unprovided 

 for and caused the loss. 



The contributors to the San Francisco 

 relief fund have received a statement 

 showing that seventy-five per cent is 

 returnable to them. Many have directed 



the secretary to turn their share into 

 the Florists' Club's treasury. 



One of the well-liked young men in the 

 market is Frank Hagen, of George Kein- 

 berg's store force. He has the sympathy 

 of everyone in the death of his mother, 

 which occurred September 14. She was 

 70 years of age and one of the oldest 

 residents of Bowmanville. She was well 

 known to most of the florists in that sec- 

 tion. The funeral was held September 

 16, with interment at Eose Hill.

State of Trade* 



Not only one, but all of our local flo- 

 rists are complaining of dull business for 

 the last week. There was plenty of stock, 

 but no demand for it. Only a few fu- 

 neral orders here and there keep a por- 

 tion of the stock moving from day to 

 day. Roses can be had in any quantity, 

 and they are good. Carnations, as yet, 

 are not any too plentiful, but there is 

 enough to supply the present demand. 

 Asters can still be found, but the quality 

 is not the best. 



The drought is becoming a gen- 

 eral topic for discussion. Not a drop 

 of rain has fallen in the last month. 

 Everything is drying up. 



Variotsi Notes. 



John Young, one of Dayton 's oldest 

 florists, met with a serious accident Sep- 

 tember 11. He was hastening to catch 

 a car, when he fell and broke his left 

 arm.

 gomery County Fair, which was held in
