L. iUiviur & Sons repoit trade during 

 the summer as very good compared to 

 that of previous years. They were kept 

 very busy on floral work for funerals, 

 the demand for floral designs surpass- 

 ing tliat of any other summer. They are 

 preparing to put in their carnations 

 about Sept. 15. Roses seem to be doing 

 very well considering the hot weather. 

 They tried some field grown carnations 

 this year and the plants turned out very 

 well. They are fit for benching this sea- 

 son. 



The storm of the 16th did considerable 

 damage. A good many shade and orna- 

 mental trees were blown down and sev- 

 eral sash broken. 



A. Duplon sufi'ered considerably. One 

 side of his greenhouse was very badly 

 damaged and his chrysanthemums were 

 all blown over. 



L. Thublin is putting up a greenhouse 

 l-2x.50 for propagating purposes. 



G. Bitzer reports trade as very good. 

 His place was very badly damaged by the 

 storm; his out of door plants were 

 washed out and his chrysanthemums 

 were badly injured. 



The Little Gem Floral Garden (H. P. 

 Lading) reports summer trade to be 

 very good, the demand for flowers being 

 much larger than last year. He reports 

 very little loss by the storm. 



The Industrial Gardens report summer 

 trade very good. Their outdoor plants 

 were all pretty badly damaged by the 

 storm, but everything indoors is all 

 right. Their palm house is a beautiful 

 sight. 



Miss Marie Minge reports summer de- 

 mand for flowers to be far greater than 

 any summer previous. Her roses are 

 doing very well. She is preparing to put 

 in her carnations about Sept. 15. 



Mrs. M. Goodbrad reports trade as 

 very good considering the very bad 

 weather we have been having this sum- 

 ber. She intends going to New York 

 next month to visit her daughter, Mrs. 

 .1. Sanders, and while there will pay a 

 short visit to Bufi'alo to see the florists 

 and also the exposition. 



Mobile is rapidly coming to the front, 

 and from the outlook the demand for 

 flowers this winter will be much larger 

 than ever. F. 



MINNEAPOLIS, MINN. 



A recent heavy hailstorm did serious 

 damage to many of the greenhouse es- 

 tablishments in this city 



R. J. Mendenhall was one of the 

 heaviest losers, plants being badly cut 

 .md injured, as well as a great deal of 

 glass broken. The R. Wills greenhouses 

 lost a good share of their glass, and car- 

 nations in the field were also badly in- 

 jured. 



The Donaldson greenhouses lost heav- 

 ■ly in glass, and many others had smaller 

 jyiounts broken. It will be very difli- 

 xalt to make all repairs before winter 

 tts in. Gliss is in great demand here, 

 II thousands of windows and skylights 

 «ere broken by the hail.
