The flower display at the Canadian national exhibition in Toronto last week was hardly up to the standard of pre- vious years. A. Sheridan took an easy first prize for the dinner table decora- tion, and the Dale Estate again cap- tured the $100 prize for an orchid ex- hibit, the stock reflecting great credit on the grower.

W. Main, of Amherst, N. S., and M. Pappas and W. H. Hay, of Montreal. W. G. P. EVANSVILLE, IND. The cool weather has improved the roses, and carnations will soon be much better. Asters are plentiful and of good qualit}'. Business is fair. The State Florists' Association of Indiana will hold its October meeting in Evansville, on the last day of the month.
