The Weekly Florists' Review* 



January 5, 1911. 



little stock was left on Monday morn- 

 ing. 



S. A. Frost, of College street, did an 

 immense trad*. Everything was cleaned 

 out. He could not devote as much 

 time to the sale of green decorations 

 and holly as he has in the past, and on 

 that account had about a crate left 

 over. His increased staff was kept 

 going till 2 a. m. Sunday morning. 

 "An increase of about thirty-five per 

 cent," is the way he sums the situa- 

 tion up. 



J. S. Simmons and J. H. Dunlop both 

 report a much bigger trade than ever 

 before, in spite of the high prices. The 

 usual large staff at each place had to 

 be doubled and, notwithstanding this, 

 they were kept busy till well into Sun- 

 day morning and nearly all Christmas 

 day. 



Mrs. Walker, Thomas Plumb, C. E. 

 Lewis and others in the northern sec- 

 tion are well satisfied with the showing. 



Eobert Barron and F, Simpson & 

 Sons, the two large provision dealers 

 of the northern end of the city, who 

 handle cut flowers, both report in- 

 creased business. 



Grobba & Wandrey, of Mimico, 

 shipped some magnificent specimens of 

 azaleas into the city, E. F. 



Besults from advertising to date are 

 very satisfactory. — Wm. Toole & Sons, 

 Baraboo, Wis.
