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. S. Humfeld. 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.
