TRADE FAIRLY ALL FOR FUNERAL BLOWERS MAKES WHITE MATERIAL SCARCE.—A TRAGEDY.—NOTES. Retail business was quite active during the last of October. White flowers are really scarce and everything in white is disposed of at fair prices. Swainsonia is becoming a favorite for decorations. Col- ored flowers are becoming more and more plentiful and chrysanthemums are now largely in evidence.

As the people of Montreal do not patronize our exhibi- tions, we will hold this one in the Nat- ural History rooms, our meeting place. To urge exhibitors, diplomas and certifi- cates of merit, besides the premiums, will be given for everything worthy. I am sorry to report the death of Eric Marotte, the eight-year-old grandson of J.
