The Florists^ Review 



Max 15, 1913. 



BBAMPTON, ONT. 



The Market. 



Mothers' day No. 3 has come and 

 gone, after creating an amount of hus- 

 tle and business almost equal to a busy 

 Christmas day. Florists went after 

 business in such a manner as to con- 

 vince one that everybody had a mother, 

 and that the habit of sending her flow- 

 ers had really come to stay. The de- 

 mand for white was enormous, and to 

 make it worse some irresponsible news- 

 paper writers spread the idea that the 

 public should insist on having white 

 flowers, and should not be put oflf with 

 any other color. From 88 degrees in 

 the shade, the temperature dropped to 

 8 below freezing May 9 and 10, oc- 

 casioning much damage to young stock 

 throughout the neighborhood. 



Various Notes. 



The most interesting news of the 

 week is the dismissal of the action 

 brought by a local lawyer against the* 

 Dale Estate for $1,591.32 worth of wa- 

 ter rates. The first action was brought 

 over twelve months ago, when the law- 

 yer made the municipality a party to 

 his cause. It failed. Prior to the 

 close of 1912, he appealed the case 

 and won, but the case was sent again 

 to a higher court, and three out of the 

 four judges have rendered a verdict 

 which leaves no doubt as to the raison 

 d'etre of the action, the Dale ,Estate 

 appeal being allowed and the action 

 dismissed, with costs amounting to 

 over $3,000 against the person bringing 

 it. 



W. Wells, the celebrated chrysanthe- 

 mum grower of Merstham, Surrey, 

 England, called here on his way home 

 from the states last week. 



Walter Calvert has just erected two 

 more greenhouses, 20x200 feet, which 

 he intends to plant with violets. His 

 other houses are given up to tomatoes, 

 lettuce and sweet peas, all of which 

 are a credit to the grower. 



Mark Henderson has his new houses 

 well on the way and, in addition to 

 tomatoes and lettuce, he intends to 

 grow carnations and sweet peas this 

 season. W. G. P.
