The Weekly Florists' Review. 



JUNE 30, 1891. 



ST. PAUL, MINN. 



Commencement season is over, wed- 

 dings are less frequent, bedding-out 

 stock is about all planted, and the dull 

 season is upon us. 



No one will denj- that trade in this 

 section has been very good this season 

 in all lines. There was never a larger 

 and better stock of bedding plants, and 

 they have all sold at a fair figure. As 

 in former years, geraniums were most 

 in favor, though the demand for pan- 

 Eies was unprecedented, and shows 

 how popular these little beauties are 

 with the plant-buying public. There is 

 a growing demand for cannas, which 

 is gratifying, as it shows that these 

 most valuable bedding adjuncts are at 

 last being appreciated. The diminished 

 demand for coleus, alternantheras, 

 etc.. would indicate that these glories 

 of a past generation are being rele- 

 gated to the rear, and that progress 

 in the florist trade is sure and certain. 

 In our short growing seasons in the 

 Northwest people want large, showy 

 plants from the start, while the small 

 amount of hardy blooming stock nat- 

 urally increases the demand for 

 blooming tender stock. On this ac- 

 count foliage plants are not so popular 

 here as in some sections of the East. 



Work at the city parks is nearly all 

 completed. While there is no lavish 

 display, a large number of plants have 

 been put out, and artistic effect has 

 been aimed at more than quantity. 

 Cannas have been used very extensive- 

 ly, and later on the beds should pre- 

 sent a fine display of this handsome 

 flower. The heat of the past week has 

 had its detrimental effect on indoor 

 blooms and pinched and shriveled 

 buds are in abundance. Some good 

 stock is brought in, however. Kaiserin 

 are coming nicely while Testout on 

 old plants are very fine indeed. 



Paeonies came and went in a few 

 days, and their presence was hardly 

 noticeable. Sweet peas are becoming 

 quite abundant and meet with ready 

 sale. Gladioli from carnation benches 

 sell readily and auratum meet with fa- 

 vor. In the plant line everything sal- 

 able is cleaned out, though an occa- 

 sional good plant is to be found. At
