Murdoch will have ten years' work in 

 cutting up and beautifying the acreage, 

 and there is no better man for the 

 work. (Duncan says it with two r 's, a 

 la Harry Lauder.) 



The Christmas decorations at the 

 store of the Germain Seed & Plant Co. 

 were much admired and reflect great 

 credit on Mr. Roberts and his capable 

 corps of assistants. Large palms and 

 an immense amount of holly and 

 wreathing were used. Mr. Roberts also 

 received many compliments on his 

 tasteful decorations at the Hoffman 

 Cafe, December 14, when about forty 

 members of the Germain Improvement 

 Association met for their annual dinner. 

 The occasion also marked the farewell 

 attendance of J. Rennison, one of the 

 firm's most energetic and capable out- 

 door representatives, who left next day 

 LUontlnaed on paire 66.]

The Market. 



The closeness of Christmas seems to 

 have stimulated business in the flower 

 trade; everyone is full of work and 

 sales are brisk. Stock is fairly abun- 

 dant, but is being kept well cleaned up. 

 Roses are in good shape and are selling 

 briskly, the flowers and foliage show- 

 ing a marked improvement over recent 

 offerings^ Carnations are abundant, 

 but the demand leaves no surplus and 

 appearances point to a shortage in all 

 varieties for Christmas. Poinsettias 

 are more in evidence than in former 

 years, the quality in most cases being 

 excellent, and, while there has not been 

 much sale for them so far, they lend a 

 tone of brightness to the windows that 

 no other flower produces. Baskets of 

 artificial flowers, ruscus, statice, etc., 

 are liberally offered. Chrysanthemums 

 are scarce and bring high prices. 



The sale for holly, mistletoe and 

 other Christmas greens is good. Large 

 supplies of fine cyclamens, primulas and 

 other pot plants are in readiness for 

 the usual Christmas demand. 



Various Notes. 



There was a good attendance at the 

 meeting of the Florists ' Club December 

 17, several members who had not been 

 there for months being present, and 

 two new members were taken in. It
