NOVEMBER A RECORD-BREAKER IN TRADE. —CHRYSANTHEMUM SHOW IS BIG SUC- CESS.—WEDDINGS AS NUMEROUS AS IN JUNE.—TRADE NOTES. The chrysanthemurn show, held in St. George's hall by the Toronto Horticultu- ral Society, was indeed very creditable as the blooms displayed and the general arrangements were satisfactory.
