suddenly dropped off; hence there was" 

 an accumulation of funeral flowers. As- 

 ters are rapidly passing, and there is 

 but little good stock in sight to take 

 their place. Mums are slowly making 

 up the deficiency. Carnations and roses 

 are of better quality. Mildew is prev- 

 alent on all sides, which necessitates 

 early firing. Valley and orchids are 

 unusually scarce, with a brisk demand; 

 Few good blooming plants, outside 

 of cyclamens, are to be had. The bulb 

 departments are unusually busy, fill- 

 ing out-of-town orders. 



Various Notes. 



Mr. and Mr*. A, L. Myers, of Bluff- 

 ♦o°>_Iiid., are spending some time with 

 relatives here. 



Charles Street and family leave this 

 week for Australia, to be gone for an 

 indefinite period. 



A. C. Brown, of Vancouver, B. G., is 

 in the city, in the interests of his 

 nursery business. E. R. C.

Btuiness Prospects. 



With the approach of autumn it be- 

 gins to be possible to form an estimate 

 of the coming winter's trade, Roses 

 will be suflScient for the demand un- 

 til Christmas; for a couple of months 

 after that they will, owing to climatic 

 conditions, be in short supply. Carna- 

 tions will probably be in short supply 

 all winter. The three members of the 

 Enchantress family and Beacon will be 

 the leaders in quantity. Chrysanthe- 

 mums, from present appearances, will 

 show no surplus. 



Violets will not be grown locally; it 

 is much easier and cheaper to get them 

 from California. Florists here will be 

 able to handle large quantities of these 

 if they are able to procure them at as 

 favorable rates as the street sellers, 

 but last winter this was not the case, 

 as the street men sold freshly arrived 

 stock at lower rates than those quoted 

 by the wholesale houses to the regular 

 trade. This was so evident that the 

 tr&de had to take steps to protect 

 themselves and they will no doubt do 

 the same again this winter if the high 

 prices are repeated, and this will not 

 he favorable to the sale of large quan- 

 tities of the flowers through any chan- 

 ,nel in this city. . . ' ". ■ 



Summer Sweet Fea Sbow. 



The exhibit of sweet peas at the 

 summer show was, as usual, quite ex- 

 tensive, embracing practically all the 

 winners sent out in Britain during the 

 previous year. In reds, Sunproof Crim- 

 son will supersede George Stark, im- 

 proved. Tom Bolton will replace Othel- 

 lo. Etta Dyke will easily hold the 

 premier place in white. In another 

 year Asta Ohn will be as good as any 

 other mauve variety. Doris Asher takes 

 first place as a salmon pink. Mrs. 

 Har^castle Sykes and Constance Oliver 

 are, as before, pinks that cannot be 

 beaten. The variety Jimmy Bland, 

 which created such a furore last year, 

 was only shown in limited quantities, 

 all available plants being used for 

 seed purposes. It is understood that 

 this splendid variety has sported pink, 

 the sport being equal in quality to the 

 parent. P. B.
