TOBONTO, ONT. 



A Visit to Dunlop's. 



While in Toronto I visited John H. 

 Dunlop's place. I found everything 

 coming on finely for the holidays. The 

 roses all gave promisetrf big crops. The 

 most remarkable in appearance was a 

 block of Killarney roses. Their deep 

 green foliage and luxuriant growth, 

 six to nine buds to the plant, just right 

 for Christmas, were to me so strikingly 

 different from the average in growth 

 and general appearance that I inquired 

 particularly and found that this block 

 had been forced, then planted in the 

 open and left out three winters, potted 

 last spring and at planting time put 

 into the benches. The object was to 

 put new vitality into the plants. The 

 experiment seems to be highly satisfac- 

 tory. Mr. Dunlop intends to propagate 

 his stock for next season from these 

 plants. 



Some promising varieties in the new 

 importations on trial are to be planted 

 next season. Sunburst is doing nicely 

 and is a good seller. Considering the 

 disadvantage on account- of the smoke 

 and soot from the factory and other 

 buildings, the Dunlop stock in general is 

 in fine shape. It is necessary to wash 

 the glass frequently, both inside and 

 outside. Mr. Dunlop intends to look up 

 a new location in the spring. The 

 building operations all about him have 

 increased the value of the land, which, 

 when sold, will naturally increase the 

 Dunlop bank account. He certainly has 

 a fine trade at his Yonge street store 

 and an extensive wholesale trade 

 throughout the Dominion.

Lewiston, Me. — Ernest Saunders has 

 leased a store at the corner of Ash 

 and Lisbon streets and will remove 

 his downtown flower business to that 

 location. Mr. Saunders has also pur- 

 chased a store at 50 Lisbon street, but 

 intends to allow the present tenant, a 

 jeweler, to remain in the building.

Opportunity Knocks 



At your door to secure the very Best Silver Pink Snapdragon in 

 existence. Will you accept it or remain in the same old rut, grow- 

 ing an inferior vanety, and wonder why your competitor is 

 prospering more than you? 



Read what some of the Leading Florists have to say about 

 Buxton's Silver Pink Snapdragon: 



Mr. Geo. E. Buxton, Nashua. N. H. October 19. 1912. 



Dear Sir: Your light pink Snapdragon I consider the best 

 color of any I have grown. Just the shade of a Killarney rose 

 and one that the ladies like. I have watched all the pink onus 

 that are sent to the Boston market, but they are away behind 

 your variety. I am growing your variety now entirely. 



Very truly yours. 



S. J. GODDARD. 

 Mr. Geo. E. Buxton. 



Dear Sir: The light pink Snapdragon you are shipping is a 

 winner, commanding a good price and snapped up quick by the 

 best buyers, on account of its beautiful soft pink coloring and 

 good all-round habit. Grow more of it. 



Yours very truly, 



TH08. PEGLER. 



Mr. Geo. E. Buxton. Nashua, N. H. October 24. 1912. 



Dear Sir: We have grown your light pink Snapdragon the 

 last two years, and are very much pleased with it, 



Yours very truly.
