The Market. 



Mention Tbe Review when you write. 



Business is good in nearly all lines. 

 Funeral work is plentiful, nearly every- 

 one getting a good share. Carnations 

 are plentiful and good. Rosea are scarce, 

 but violets, hyacinths, tulips, daffodils 

 and freesias are in good supply and sell 

 well. Cattleyas are about equal to the 

 demand. Plants are the only things 

 that seem to hang, and quite a number 

 of primulas and cinerarias are to be 

 seen in the grocery stores at prices on 

 which there can be no profit to either the 

 grower or retailer. 



Gunation Ezhibition. 



The annual carnation exhibition, under 

 the auspices of the Toronto Agricultural 

 Society and the Toronto Florists' and 

 Gardeners' Association, was held Febru- 

 ary 18 and brought out a fine lot of well 

 grown stock. There was only one prize 

 offered, a gold medal for the best vase 

 of carnations, any variety, and it was won 

 by the Joseph Heacock Co., Wyncote, 

 Pa., with a fine vase of Dorothy Gordon, 

 which arrived in grand shape and it cer- 

 tainly appears to be a good thing. 

 Dorothy Gordon was the only new one to 

 reach Toronto the day of the exhibition. 

 Mary Tolman, from Hunt Bros., got here 

 Saturday, February 19, about 10 a. m., 

 and Toreador about 5 p. m. Both were 

 in excellent condition and look to be 

 good ones. The former was shown in 

 Dunlop's window on Yonge street and 

 probably received more attention and 

 notice there than it would have had at 

 the show. Toreador was to be seen at 

 Dillemuth's on King street, and it cer- 

 tainly appeared to advantage. 



The Dale Estate, Brampton, made a 

 fine show with large vases of Enchant- 

 ress, White Enchantress, Eose-pink En- 

 chantress, A. Carnegie, Perfection, Win- 

 sor, and also some fine roses in Bride, 

 Maid, Eichmond and Killamey; also 

 some grand valley and violets and four 

 vases of Narcissus Victoria, the latter 

 being much admired. 



T. Manton had a group of orchids and 

 ferns that were a great attraction; some 



fine plants of Dendrobium formosum 

 giganteum and D, Wardianum and also 

 some cattleyas, with a splendid show of 

 blooms. 



W. Fendley, of Brampton, had some 

 fine carnations, valley and violets, the 

 latter being his specialty. 



Dunlop's, Toronto, had some splendid 

 carnations. 



The Allan gardens had a group of 

 primulas, cinerarias, begonias, azaleas, 

 genistas and foliage plants in a fine ar- 

 rangement. 



Wm. Jay & Son showed a fine group 

 of ferns and dracsenas, all well grown. 



J. McVittie, gardener for Sir Henry 

 Pellatt, had a group of cinerarias, ob- 

 conicas. Begonia Gloire de Lorraine, and 

 some cattleyas and foliage plants that 

 were worthy of the special award of 

 merit which was given to them. 



Various Notes. 



The florists in North Toronto are 

 greatly interested in a strike of natural 

 gas up there. Tom Manton is thinking 

 of boring a well close by his greenhouses, 

 as they have a good flow at one about 

 400 yards away. He is already counting 

 how much he will save next winter on 

 coal and how much warmer he will keep 

 the houses, 



Dillemuth, the King street florist, is 

 planning extensive garden operations at 

 his summer residence on the island. He 

 expects to be able to supply both his 

 stores with asters and other outdoor sum- 

 mer flowers from there, 



Dunlop has one house of Lilium 

 longiflorum that would be hard to beat. 

 Roses also look fine here. 



W. E. MacKay, Dimdas street, has 

 some good marguerite plants that will 

 be right for Easter, Lilies also are in 

 good shape here, 



D. Cooper reports lots of funeral work. 

 He is planning to build a greenhouse in 

 the rear of his store on Dundas street. 



The Steele-Briggs Seed Co. is busy 

 with gardeners' orders and reports a 

 large increase in sales in this line.

The Market. 



A somewhat improved tone character- 

 ized last week's market and flowers sold 

 out much better. While the tendency in 

 some cases was towards slightly lower 

 prices, this is not to be wondered at with 

 increasing supplies, and the arrival of 

 Lent. Roses continue to sell well and 

 there has been no surplus of them. Kil-
