The Weekly Florists' Review. 



May 18, 1911. 



TORONTO. 



The Market. 



Things are moving along nicely. 

 There is no special rush, but design 

 ■work continues plentiful. Stock is 

 coming on the market in good condi- 

 tion and everything is abundant, with 

 the exception of carnations. It is not 

 likely, however, that this will last long. 

 Lilies are still coming on the market 

 heavily and the price is low. A large 

 number are being used in funeral work. 

 Hydrangeas are coming in quite plen- 

 tifully and are good. Roses are in 

 good supply and show excellent condi- 

 tion. The hot weather, however, is begin- 

 ning to show on Bride and Maid. Beau- 

 ties are of exceptionally good quality. 

 Gladioli are coming on the market in 

 fairly large supply and are eagerly 

 bought. Peach Blossom is especially 

 plentiful. Blushing Bride is in big 

 demand, but there are few of this 

 variety on the market. It does not 

 seem to be grown here. Good orchids 

 are coming in. Some fine Cattleya 

 Mossiee are seen. Iris is plentiful, par- 

 ticularly the Spanish variety. 



The trade in bedding plants has 

 started with a rush. A visit to the 

 market, to Mrs. Endean, the Steele- 

 Briggs Seed Co., or J. A. Simmers, 

 shows people buying freely. Several of 

 the up-town florists handle plants and 

 report a big business. On Saturdays 

 an enormous business is done in this 

 line at St. Lawrence market. 



Various Notes. 



The spring meeting of the Ontario 

 Jockey Club opens May 20. This means 

 a lot of extra work, as this is the 

 society event of the year. J. H. Dun- 

 lop has the order for all the official 

 work. 



From present indications, June will 

 be a busy month in weddings. Many 

 large orders are booked. 



S. A. Frost has just received a large 

 importation of bay trees from Belgium. 

 He is pushing the sale of these and 

 reports a large number of orders. This 

 last shipment is fine. Boxwood also 

 is having a big sale. 



J. J. Higgins, C. A. Lewis and the 

 F. Simpson Co. all report a good trade, 

 particularly in bedding plants. 



Sunday was Mothers' day and the 

 demand for white flowers was brisk. 

 This day is always commented on in 

 the press beforehand and, as a result, 

 many button-holes of roses and carna- 

 tions are sold. S. A. Frost had several 

 display cards in his window calling the 

 attention of the public to the day and 

 did a fine trade. E. A. F.
