. The American florist : a weekly journal for the trade. Floriculture; Florists. igoS. TnF. American 1381 Toronto. AKTKlt-IIOLlDAV TRADE QOOD. Business Is much bettor than is usually expected atler the holidays, n few social functions and a large nunihcr of funerals having kept the work well distributed and the retailers are generally satisfied. Stock seems more plentiful than a year ago but all meets with ready sale; roses conthun' In the very best of condition and carna- tions could not be better for the season, l^llacs, Illy of the valley and violets are to be had in quantity. Bulbous stock and flowering plants are again plentiful. The ?death of Ned Hanlon, ex-champlon sculler of the world, was responsible for many funeral designs from all points. NOTES. A. C. Jennings of King street west, has assigned; at a meeting of the creditors, .January 10, there was shown to be a large •deficit and after the preferred amounts are paid there will be nothing left. Many •of the local growers were badly bit and as ?some of the smaller ones were putting all their stock in his store they will feel the noss more keenly. J. H. Dunlop reports business as good; lie has on view some fine American Beauty. Richmond and Killarney roses from his own greenhouses which are •well grown. Some Franz Deegan are also in very fine shape; these are about the •only yellow roses in this section. J. S. Simmons keeps up an elegant show •of bloom : he has a fine window to display «tock and certainly takes advantage of it. Business here is good especially on funeral ?work. D. J. Sinclair is at Preston Springs, tak- ing the sulphur baths for his rheumatism ?which has been bothering him of late. Some very fine cattleyas are coming ?from Thos. Manton who seems to have a mever-ending supply. H. G. D. Ottawa, Ont. ROSES SCARCE. Trade continues brisk, local social af- "fairs cleaning up all stock. Roses are «till scarce, but carnations are now giv- ing a good account of themselves.
