The Weekly Florists* Review, 



JUNE 9. ISSS. 



ST. PAUL, MINN. 



Trade for the month of May was up 

 to the average or even better than thr 

 average. While the weather was dt 

 cidedly cool until the 25th. thus retard- 

 ing bedding work. I think the volume 

 of business in money value will ex- 

 ceed any previous year. 



There was an unusually good de- 

 mand for Decoration Day. both for 

 plants and cut flowers. The city trade 

 inclining more to plants, the country 

 to cut flowers. Stock was plentiful and 

 of good quality. Roses retailed at $1 

 to $1.50 per dozen, carnations. Jas- 

 mine and valley at 50 cents per dozen. 

 Outdoor stock was not very plentiful. 

 Valley from outside was in its prime. 

 Lilacs all gone. Snowballs just in and 

 paeonies not yet in bloom. Decora- 

 tions at the cemeteries, while not elab- 

 orate, were plentiful, nearly every 

 grave having something upon it. The 

 Grand Army posts used flowering 

 plants instead of bouquets, a very sen- 

 sible change, as the plants will last for 

 several weeks and cost less than a 

 handful of cut flowers, which would 

 wither and fade in a few hours. 



Bedding out. which was delayed by 

 the backward season, is progressing 

 finely and another week will see this 

 work nearly completed. As usual the 

 demand has been largely for gerani- 

 ums, ageratums and that class of 

 plants. Cannas have sold well, also 

 pansies, while coleus. alternantheras, 

 etc., have not been in much demand. 



June weddings and commencements 

 are now in evidence and roses and car- 

 nations are now in great demand. The 

 warm weather of the past week has 

 brought out an abundance of good 

 bloom. The best roses are retailing 

 at $1.50 per dozen, while carnations 

 hold firm at 50 cents per dozen. Some 

 gardenias from the South are still to 

 be had and sweet peas and gladioli are 

 also in stock in limited quantities. Lily 

 auratum and longlflorum are in mod- 

 erate supply and demand. Funeral 

 work keeps some of the brethren 

 hustling. One modest concern recent- 

 ly put out 29 designs in one day.
