The Weekly Florists' Review^ 



OCTOBER 13, 1S9 



ST. PAUL, MINN. 



Trade for September showed a geno- 

 ral improvement over last year. V\e 

 have but very little cool weather, con- 

 sequently the demand is not as brisk 

 as one mig-ht expect at this season. 

 However, there is a good, steady de- 

 mand for funeral worlc with an occa- 

 sional wedding or reception to help 

 swell the total sales. 



The funeral of the brave Major WII-- 

 kinson and his five comrades, killed by 

 the Indians, called for a large amount 

 of flowers. 



Stock is improving daily in quality, 

 and there sems to be enough good qual- 

 ity to supply the demand. The best 

 teas are worth $4.00 per 100, Beauties 

 $12.50 to $25. Carnations are now very 

 fine, the newer varieties. Flora Hill. 

 Triumph. Evelina. Bon Ton and Fire- 

 fly, showing up in fine shape. They 

 sell at $1,00 to $2.00 per 100. 



A few violets of inferior quality are 

 brought in, but not enough to establish 

 any market or price for them. 



Mums are a little more plentiful. 



Fitz Wygram are about all gone, 

 while Mad Bergman were seen for the 

 first Oct. 5th. Another week will see 

 the mum season fairly opened. 



Improvements are always the order 

 of the day with progressive florists. 

 In this line E. F. Lemke's new store ci; 

 West Sixth street is most prominent, 

 this week. It is light and airy, flttod 

 out in modern style and bespeaks a 

 good trade. 



Holm & Olsen are also enlarging 

 their store, having rented the store 

 next to the old one, put in a new re- 

 frigerator and otherwise improving the 

 appearance of their place. 



L. L. May & Co. have an orchid win- 

 dow which attracted attention the past 

 week. Several varieties of cattleyas 

 and a stanhopea were prominent 

 among the collection. 



Mr. Kraft, of tonic fame from Rock- 

 ford, III., was a caller on the trade here 

 the past week. 



J. C. Vaughan. of Chicago: S. S. 

 Haines, of Minneapolis: T. T. Bagger- 

 ly, representing C. Hennecke Co., were 

 recent callers. X. T. Z. 



INDIANAPOLIS, IND. 



A meeting of the Indianapolis Flor- 

 ists' Club was held at the greenhouses 

 in Garfield Park Oct. 4. A paper was 

 read by John Heidenriech and a com- 

 mittee was appointed to warn the pub- 

 lic against the wiles of the "crape chas- 

 er." On the 5th the club members were 

 the guests of Messrs. Stuart & Haugh 

 at Anderson. 



ELGIN, ILL.— Mr. Geo. Souster has 

 leased the Schlaack greenhouses and 

 will conduct same in connection with 

 his other plant. 



HAMILTON, ONT.— The Horticultu- 

 ral Society has decided to hold an ex- 

 hibition in November. At the last 

 meeting Chas. Webster read a paper on 

 bulb culture.
