The Weekly Florists' Review. 



NDVEIIBER 1. 1000. 



ST. PAUL. 



The Market. 



Trade has been very good, which is en- 

 couraging eoirsidering the unusually 

 warm fall which we have had. Every- 

 thing has sold well, both in plants and 

 tlowers, and now that mums are here 

 again we shall expect sales to increase 

 daily. 



In roses, American Beauties have been 

 in greater demand than ever before, with 

 an insufficient supply of home grown 

 stock to meet it. Other roses have also 

 been in: good demand, with a fair supply 

 to meet it. Wholesale prices have aver- 

 aged from 3 to 4 cents for first grade 

 blooms. At retail they have sold for $1 

 per dozen. 



Among the recent introductions here 

 are Liberty, Golden Gate and Lad}' Doro- 

 thea. So far the first named has not 

 come up to the high standard expected. 

 Golden Gate gives great promise for fu- 

 neral design work, but is not in great 

 favor otherwise. Lady Dorothea is a 

 gi'and addition to our list of good roses, 

 and will urrdoubtedly become very popu- 

 lar with both growers and buyers. 



Carnations have been in unusually 

 good demand, and choice stock has com- 

 manded nearly as good prices as roses. 

 Crane, White Cloud, Triumph, Jubilee, 

 Victor, Flora Hill, Maceo and Daybreak 

 are the principal varieties grown. Law- 

 son, Joost, Marquis, Ethel Croker and 

 Olympia are very favorably received, 

 while the standbys of two or three years 

 ago have nearly all been discarded. Evo- 

 lution and expansion seem to be the order 

 of the day in the floral as well as in all 

 other lines of commercial enterprise. 



Boston ferns, Sprengeri and Kentias 

 seem to be in greater demand than ever 

 before. Nephrolepis davallioides furcans 

 sell well also. Owing to the warm 

 weather bulbs have not sold very rapidly. 



It is needless to say that mums sell 

 well, but the blossoms are hardly up to 

 the high standard of former years. For 

 an early pink. Rose Owen is a prime 

 favorite. Mrs. H. Robinson is in now, 

 and is the best white so far. Next week 

 we may exj^ect many more of these choice 

 Queens of Autumn. 



At this writing a killing frost has not 

 occurred, and many flowers in the open 

 ground are in full blossom. This mild 

 weather is encouraging to the growers, 

 as coal bills are light. 



The death of five firemen, killed while 

 on duty, as well as several prominent 

 citizens, called for a large number of 

 funeral designs, and nearly caused a 

 scarcity of stock. 



At the city park a new house has been 

 completed, adding much needed space for 

 propagating bedding stock.

 Mr. Theron P..\rker. 



Brooklyn. N. V. 

 Dear Sir:— Your Model Carna- 

 tion Support is all right in every 

 way. ana will no doubt be con- 

 sidered as necessary as good 

 plants with growers when better 

 known. I consider it the best in 

 the market, and if your other 

 Specialties are as good, they 

 should make another addition to 

 the money makers of 1900. 

 Very respectfully, 



Albert M. Herr.
