The Weekly Florists' Review. 



AUGUST 30. 1900. 



ST. PAUL. 



The intense heat of the present 

 month has had a depressing effect on 

 the cut flower trade. Stocl^ has been 

 of poor quality and off grade, while 

 sales have been confined almost ex- 

 clusively to funeral work. With the 

 mercury at 110 to 130 degrees in the 

 houses it has been almost impossible 

 for the growers to complete their 

 planting. Still work has progressed 

 favorablv and roses and mums are 

 about all benched, while some are al- 

 ready benching carnations. 



Mrs Crane and Jubilee will be the 

 main crop of scarlets. White Cloud, 

 Flora Hill and Evelina of white. Tri- 

 umph. Tidal Wave, Scott and Day- 

 break of pink, with a good percentage 

 of Bradts for fancies. Some very 

 good asters are being cut. Inside 

 grown stock is particularly good and 

 choice blooms are selling at $2 per 

 100 at wholesale, the main crop bring- 

 ing ?1 per 100. 



So far as learned, there was but one 

 delegate to the convention, Mr. August 

 Swanson, who joined the Chicago 

 party. 



Wm. Donaldson & Co., of Minneap- 

 olis, have bought the greenhouses of 

 the C. A. Smith Floral Co. and will 

 hereafter grow their own flowers. Mr. 

 James Souden, foreman for L. L. May 

 & Co.. Ifas been appointed superin- 

 tendent of the business and will re- 

 side in the house occupied by Mr. 

 Smith. 



John Monson is erecting a new 

 range of houses in Minneapolis, to be 

 devoted to growing j-oses and carna- 

 tions. 



Mr. A. Currie, of Milwaukee, passed 

 ■through the city recently.

CHRISTMAS CHRYSANTHEMUMS. 



A florist noted a description of a 

 method of bringing a crop of chrys- 

 anthemum flowers in for Christmas. 

 He tried it and was successful, but 

 the venture proved unprofitable, as his 

 customers would not buy the flowers. 

 They said they had had enough of 

 them in their season and now wanted 

 something else. 



RICHMOND. IND.— Beach & Chessman 

 are busy rebuilding two of their houses, 

 which will be modern in construction 

 with patent tile benches throughout. This 

 will make all their houses modern with 

 the exception of one which they will re- 

 build next season. This firm had the 

 elaborate decorations for the Saxton- 

 Hibbard wedding last week. The beauti- 

 ful residence and the St. Paul Episcopal 

 church 'Were lavishly decorated from 

 ceiling to floor. It was the most elabo- 

 rate wedding seen In this city for two 

 years. American Beauties, valley and 

 white and pink buds were used by the 

 thousands regardless of expense. They 

 also report the heaviest run of funerals 

 for July and August that they have had 

 for years. It is getting to be a fad here 

 to use extensively palms for funerals, 

 and some very pretty decorations in a 

 mild form are seen. Field-grown plants 

 are looking fairly well and roses on the 

 inside are fine. A house of asters are 

 now in the prime of bloom and some 

 •disbudded -flowers have been cut the 

 past few weeks. B.
