The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



MahcU 24, 1!H(>. 



TORONTO. 



The Market. 



Trade has been good during the last 

 two weeks, with lots of good stock to be 

 had. Prices kept up on evei"ything ex- 

 cept violets, but they dropped almost to 

 the bottom. Sweet peas are selling bet- 

 ter this year than for the last two years 

 at this season. 



There has been some demand during 

 the last week for perennial plants and 

 shrubs. That is a sure sign of spring in 

 this locality. 



Various Notes. 



Tuesday evening, March 15, was ladies ' 

 night with the Gardeners' and Florists' 

 Association and there was a large turn- 

 out. A good program of music, etc., fol- 

 lowed by refreshments and a social hour, 

 made it a most enjoyable evening. 



A visit to Robert Abbs found him busy 

 cutting his fine stock of sweet peas. He 

 has had a grand crop, both as to quan- 

 tity and quality, and he is now figuring 

 out what is best to grow to keep his 

 houses in use through the year. He does 

 not like lettuce and has not found chrys- 

 anthemums to be profitable with him. He 

 thinks he may try tomatoes. 



At Albert Houles' we found every- 

 thing in first-class shape. It is not a 

 large establishment, but the stock is al- 

 ways in good condition for inspection. 



S. A. Frost, the College street florist, 

 reports one of the best days in his expe- 

 rience, March 17, on account of St. Pat- 

 rick's day. 



Mr. Tidy had the finest shamrock 

 plants to be seen in town. 



Thomas Manton has just returned from 

 his trip to Montreal, Ottawa, etc., in the 

 interest of Low & Co., the English nur- 

 serymen, and reports good business all 

 along the line. Mac. 



A Better Water Sopply 



is what you will need when 

 the dry. hot summer fol- 

 lows this lonj? winter, and 

 the iH'St obtainable is a 

 Standard Pnmping Engine 

 iK-cause it takes the water 

 from the source of supply 

 and puts it into the pipe 

 line by direct pressure. 



This is the simplest, most 

 reliable and cheapest way 

 of doinK your wateriiiK.
