The Weekly Florists' Review, 



Makch 6, 1002 



ST. PAUL. 



The Market. 



The third week of Lent has been one 

 of the best on record for the trade in 

 this city. The demand has been extra 

 good and everything salable has gone. 



The cut has been above the normal, 

 but has hardly kept pace with the de- 

 mand. There has been a good sale for 

 plants also, especially azaleas, Dutch hy- 

 acinths, hjdrangeas and anything in 

 bloom or showing color. 



If more of the growers would bring 

 some plants into bloom from New Year's 

 to Easter it would relieve the conges- 

 tion at the Easter rush. Better prices 

 could be maintained, everybody, buyer 

 and seller, would be better satisfied, and 

 best of all the buying public would ap- 

 preciate our goods more than they do 

 now and would look upon them as an 

 every day necessity rather than a holi- 

 day luxury. 



Easter is but four wfeks distant, and 

 alreadj' preparations are l>eing made 

 by churches and others for elaborate dec- 

 orations for that event. Unless there 

 should be very severe weather the Saint- 

 ly City flori<ts will have a good supply 

 of seasonable plants for the occasion. 

 Lilies are not plentiful, but are well 

 along and should all be got into bloom 

 in time. Azaleas, spireas, hydrangeas 

 and roses are quite abundant and of very 

 good quality. Bulbous stock is plenti- 

 ful and should sell to very good advant- 

 age. There will be the usual supply of 

 cut flowers. 



Every one has been kept busy of late 

 with the travelers, who hare come sing- 

 ly, in pairs, and in swarms. We recall 

 the following, though there may be oth- 

 ers whom we have unintentionally over- 

 looked: C. Keur, Mr. Van der Vors, 

 H. J. Goemans, the representative of 

 Veldlinyzen, Von Zanten & Co., and one 

 or two others from Holland; H. A. Hage- 

 mann. .Jos. Rolker, Mr. Ward, Mr. Mc- 

 Hutchison, Martin Reukauf, K. M. Par- 

 melee of the Allan Seed Company, Pic- 

 tou, Ont., and H. E. Philpott. of Winni- 

 peg. X. Y. Z.

We have received from Messrs. Osman 

 & Co., London, England, a copy of their 

 catalogue of requisites for florists, nur- 

 serymen, seedsmen, etc. It contains 170 

 large pages and it is astonishing what 

 an immense number of items are in- 

 cluded. They range from complete green- 

 house plants down to pins and twine. 

 The list of tools of all kinds is especially 

 complete, and there are insecticides and 

 apparatus lor applying them without 

 number. The illustrations are very 

 numerous and it is auite a picture book.
