Dunlop took over the news stand and telegraph office III the Queen's Hotel. Toronto. "you couldn't buy fresh flowâ€" ers during the winter months for love or honey". Often he was asked to wire orders to Buffalo. New York and Boston. and sometimes the eagerly 'awaited bouquets and corsages arrived in wilted or frozen condition After pondering the matter for some time young I)unlop decided to act upon his ‘hunch.’ that there was a good market for Canadian- erown hothouse roses. In 1883. without benefit of capital or training in flori- culture. he built a small greenhouse. measuring 6x12 feet. on the north side of Grange Ave. and planted a handful of rose cuttings ob- tained for $1.00 frmn West Grove. Pennsylvania. This proved the modest beginning successful career as a wholesale and retail florist. during which he beâ€" came an acknowledged auth- ority on rose growing. and one of the founders. and first presidents of the Can- adian Horticultural Society. and of the Toronto Garden- ers‘ and Florists‘ Association. He also opened the door for many of h e r commercial greenhouse-men. and. when he eventually established his home and business in Rich» mond llill. he helped to make the village famous as a centre of rose growing. roots ironi Fluropi, because.

In 1892 he opened Toronto‘s first retail florist shop on King St. and year h.\' year built more green- houses until in 1907 he had six acres under glass. a huge heating plant with miles of steam piping. and 25 to :10 employees. But the city was pushing westward and taxes were steadily rising. It was time to think of moving again. After considering sev- eral sites Mr. Dunlop finally decided upon a farm in Richmond Hill. The soil was suitable. there was access to the railway line for shipping and there was a big, com- fortable house on the prop- erty which Mrs. Dunlop named “Dufferin Park". Here he set up another large complex of hot houses to shelter his thousands of budded. grafted. and bloom- ing plants. chiefly roses. and was soon sending more beautiful flowers than ever across Canada.

During the cold weather he often crouched inside all night, tending a small box stove. to keep his precious bushes safe from frost. Much to the surprise of skeptical friends the roses flourished and sold well. In need of larger premises. he moved in 1885 to pasture land on what is now Markham St.. and erected the first residence in that area, and a green- house 8x50 feet. This was heated by a large boiler en- abling him to use. for the first time in Canada. the new Bench system of forcing plants to bloom in winter in an atmosphere of controlled heat. moisture. and ventila- tion. his specialties being lil- ies of the valley and roses.

Mr. Dunlop began to enter coni- petitive flower shows. main- ly in the United States.

In Boston in 1890 be extended the first official invitation from Can- ada, to the American Flor- ists Society to hold its an- nual meeting in Toronto.

Three years later his mother also died, and he and his sister Martha returned to New York where he was em- ployed for one year by Lord and Taylor. and then spent about three years learning the. carpentry and building trade with his uncle David Dunlop who was a contrac- tor. Bereaved again by the death of his sister he came back to Toronto and took over the news stand and tel- egraph office in the Queen‘s Hotel which had lately been bought by his cousin Henry Winnett. in partnership with Thomas McGaw.
