The Weekly Florists' Review. 



MINNEAPOLIS, MINN. 



Various Notes. 



Christmas trade was better than ever 

 this year with prices a little better. De- 

 mand for flowering plants is inereasini,' 

 from year to year. Everything was sold 

 out clean except bulbous stulf such as 

 Komans and narcissus. Violets were in 

 great demand, but the supply was very 

 short. 



New Year's trade was good, but not 

 what it used to be. 



John Monson, manager of the Minne- 

 apolis Floral Company, has broken 

 ground for a large addition to an al- 

 ready good sized establishment. He will 

 build six new rose houses, 25 x 160 feet 

 each, one large palm hous'e, 35 x 185, 

 and two violet houses, 11 x 100, which 

 when completed will give him in all 

 about 80,000 feet of glass. Although he 

 did not commence his first range of 

 houses until last August, he soon will 

 have one of the most modern plants in 

 the northwest. 



William Donaldson & Co., successors 

 to C. A. Smith Floral Company, are pre- 

 paring to build two large greenhouses in 

 the spring. L. 



NEPHROLEPIS WITTBOLDH. 



This new ferir is keeping up its record 

 in fine style and is steadily exceeding its 

 (Mily promises of usefulness. It not only 

 nuikis a superb decorative plant in a 

 very short time and possesses the other 

 desirable characteristics of the Boston 

 fern, but the larger fronds when mature 

 are most excellent to use in funeral 

 hunches in the same way that the cycas 

 I'M VI < are used and the effect is much 

 luilii as there is far more grace and 

 l":"ii> in the fern fronds than in the 

 (•y./as leaves. 



Wittboldii is certainly a grand thing 

 and we are inclined to agree with Mr. 

 Baldwin that it is "The great fern of the 

 future." We have watched it steadily 

 since it was first discovered and every 

 inspfi-linn has increased our good opin- 

 ioir of it. 



A PRETTY CALENDAR. 



We have received from the Ix)rd & 

 Burnham Co., Irvington-on-Hudson, N. 

 Y., a copy of their 1901 calendar, which 

 is a real work of art. It is in several 



of tlip .Mirvillincar roof of the eonsfi \a- 

 tory are seen overhead. At the riglit, 

 but separated from the main picture, 

 appears a sectional view of their well 

 known hot water heater. It is a realH' 

 artistic creation and we extend our con- 

 gratulations. 



Medina, N. Y.— Harry M. Kearney, 

 the florist, committed suicide Dec. 29th 

 during a fit of despondency over the 

 death of his mother last fail. He was 

 37 years of age and unmarried. 



We aoai.v hear reports that florists 

 have been victimized by "customers" who 

 paid for goods with bogus checks and re- 

 ceived the "change" in cash. 



TiiE BOOK that saves money for you like 

 the Florists' Manual, by \Vm. Scott, is 

 the book for you to havc'handv.
