The Weekly Florists^ Review. 



MARCH 9, 1S99. 



ST. PAUL, MINN. 



Trade during Lent has been good 

 and there has been no surfeit of flow- 

 ers at any time. Roses and carnations 

 are still in good demand with not 

 enough home grown stock to supply 

 the wants. While the weather has 

 been cold it has also been bright and 

 favorable to the development of good 

 blooms. 



There has been an unusual demand 

 for white flowers, mostly for funeral 

 purposes, while some days they were 

 very scarce and hard to obtain. Color- 

 ed flowers are being used quite a good 

 deal for funeral purposes. Flat bou- 

 quets of Meteor are now considered 

 very appropriate, while wreaths and 

 crescents of Bridesmaid are also pop- 

 ular. 



Violets are the only stock in mar- 

 ket now in excess of demand and 

 prices have dropped very low. On 

 Saturday last one firm had the sign 

 "best violets 10 cents per bunch," a 

 block away — "violets today 20 cents 

 per bunch" was conspicuous, while a 

 block in another direction, "2 bunches 

 of violets for 25 cents" was swinging 

 in the breeze. Such little cuts and 

 special bargains attract a certain 

 class of trade and may in the end help 

 the business in general, but certainly 

 the grower and retailer make nothing 

 directly by such low prices. 



John A. May had the Lawson carna- 

 tion direct from Boston on exhibition 

 last week. It was rather disappoint- 

 ing to flower lovers, though seen to a 

 disadvantage after its long journey. 

 It certainly is not as pretty as Argyle, 

 Victor or Triumph, while for size 

 Mary Wood and Mrs. Bradt surpass it. 



Christ Hansen is building a new rose 

 house 22x120 ft. He expects to plant 

 it soon for summer blooming. 



August Vogt entertained a party of 

 florist friends on his birthday.

 scores at their last meeting:

 Average per plant of No. 1 blooms, almost 57 



Isn't this a pretty good record? .And for these 

 I received from $2.50 to $1,00 per 100. Can you 

 equal this? And the plants are still throwing as 

 many flowers, if not more than ever. 



I cannot begin to supply the demand for this 

 superb violet: the way things look now, I shall 

 not be able to supply the demand for rooted cut- 

 tings. If you get left, you will only blame your- 

 self. My new book on Violet Culture goes with 

 every order for cuttings. 



The violet is the largest, most double, longest 

 stemmed, color so dark as to look almost artificial; 

 healthy; and as the record shows, a very free bloom- 

 er. The parent plant of this magnificent variety 

 gave me 118 of the finest flowers you ever saw.
