ThcWcckly Florists' Review. 



Dkcbmbbb 15, 1910. 



ROSE STOCK FOR 1911 



It is an undisputed fact that the quality of the plants which are sent out by us is above question. We grow what we 

 sell, and sell only what we grow. We are planning for 1,260,000 Rose plants for the spring trade and expect to be able to 

 fill all orders, whether large or small. This is all stock for forcing, and not nursery stock. We want your patronage and 

 can give you in return the best plants that can be produced. Our leaders will be 



Dark Pink Killarney Double Pink Kiliarney Prince de Bulgarie 



Radiance Mrs. Aaron Ward 



The best of the Standard Varieties : 



Killarney White Killarney Richmond

Our catalogue will be ready December 15th. Send a postal card to be sure your name is on our list.

TORONTO. 



The Market. 

 Trade continues excellent, although 

 there is the natural lull before the holi- 

 day rush. The weather has been poor 

 for growing, the sun only being seen 

 for a short time, and often not at all. 

 On this account, stock has been a little 

 scarce, but, on account of the lull, there 

 has been plenty to go around. Funeral 

 work has been quite plentiful and deco- 

 rations for receptions and afternoon 

 teas have kept the demand up. 



Various Notes. 



At the recent meeting of the Toronto 

 Horticultural Society, medals were pre- 

 sented by Aid. McCausland to the prize 

 winners in the various competitions 

 that were held through the year. This 

 society held monthly exhibitions of cut 

 flowers and plants and every one was a 

 success. This year it set apart blocks 

 in various parts of the city and told the 

 residents on these streets that they 

 would be awarded prizes for the best 

 kept lawn, best flower bed, best climb- 

 ing rose, best window-box, etc. This 

 created keen competition among the 

 different householders and as a result 

 the streets were much improved. Each 

 winner received a medal. It is proposed 

 to go into this scheme more extensively 

 next year. 



J. H. Dunlop has a fine stock of roses 

 and carnations coming on for the Christ- 

 mas trade. He reports good business at 

 his retail store and is looking forward 

 to making a new record during the holi- 

 days. 



Harry Dillemuth is having a good 

 trade in funeral work and cut flowers 

 and reports a number of big advance 

 orders for decorations. 



Mrs. Walker, formerly of Hamilton, 

 Ont., has opened a store on Avenue 

 road, opposite Dupont stre;et. 



J. J. Higgins, who recently opened a 

 store at 382 Yonge street, anticipates a 

 big rush for his first Christmas in the 

 new stand. 



William Fendley, of Brampton, is 

 shipping some fine violets to this city. 



S. A. Frost, of College street, visited 

 Berlin this week and called on H. L. 

 Janzen, of that town. He states that 

 Mr. Janzen has some magnificent poin- 

 settias for the Christmas trade. They 

 are in a solid bed and some of the heads 

 measure almost a foot across. Roses 

 and carnations, however, are not as 

 good as they might be because of ab- 

 sence of sun. E. A. F.
