The Weekly Florists' Review* 



JULY 12, 1900. 



ST. PAUL. 



This season has been the dryest in 

 over thirty years and all outside stock 

 has suffered more or less. Carnations 

 in the field show lack of moisture 

 but will still make good plants if 

 rain comes soon. The continued 

 drought is affecting many lines of 

 trade, but has had but little effect on 

 the florists' business. Cut flowers 

 have been in good demand and there 

 has been a shortage of good stock. 



Planting is now the order of the 

 day with the growers. Mums are 

 nearly all in and roses are being put 

 In as rapidly as possible. Liberty 

 has made its appearence here and is 

 most highly commended by all who 

 have seen it. Its color, form, frag- 

 rance and texture are all right, while 

 the plant is a strong, clean, vigorous 

 grower. If it has the staying quali- 

 ties of the Bridesmaid and will pro- 

 duce flowers every day and plejity of 

 them, it will be the greatest addition 

 since the advent of the Bridesmaid. 



R. C. Seeger is erecting several new 

 greenhouses, making an addition of 

 1.5.000 square feet to his present glass 

 area. When completed he will have 

 21,000 square feet and one of the best 

 equipped ranges in the city. 



Several of the new houses are of 

 the "short span to the south" style. 

 By building them higher than is or- 

 dinarily done he claims to overcome 

 the main objection to this style of 

 building, viz., no sun on the north 

 bench. Sixteen by sixteen butted 

 glass is used. A firm believer in the 

 merits of Liberty, he is putting in 800 

 of this variety. Beauty, Meteor, 

 Bridesmaid, Brides. Golden Gate, 

 Kaiserin and Carnot are also grown 

 successfully. In carnations, Mrs. 

 Bradt, Crane, White Cloud, Flora 

 Hill, Triumph, and Daybreak are the 

 principal varieties grown. The place 

 will be devoted entirely to the grow- 

 ing of cut flowers, in which branch 

 Mr. Seeger has been eminently suc- 

 cessful, his roses being among the 

 finest ever brought to this market. 



Otto Hiersekorn, who conducts two 

 stores, is about to close the one on 

 Fourth street.
