The Weekly Florists' Review, 



March 20. 1902. 



[St. Paul— Continued.] 

 very beautiful and promising yellow. 

 California is not as good, though a fine 

 variety. Queen Louise is a beautiful 

 white. Norway and Lorna are both 

 promising. White Gloud and Flora Hill 

 are still the standard whites. Marquis 

 Has done well here. Ethel Crocker is a 

 fine full flower, but a very shy bloomer. 

 Daybreak is still grown to good advan- 

 tage, its small size being its poorest fea- 

 ture. 



In reds Estelle is the most distinct 

 color we have yet seen. Crane and Jubi- 

 le^ are the main crop this season. Gov. 

 Hqoscvelt is a most beautiful dark crim- 

 son, an improvement over Maceo and 

 Gomez. Mrs. Bradt and Armazindy com- 

 plete the list of varieties grown here. 



. jIn roses. Bride, Bridesmaid and Jle- 

 teor are grown for main crop. Sunset 

 also does well here, and an occasional 

 plant of Perle shows that old but almost 

 discarded variety to good advantage. 

 Liberty has not thriven as well here as 

 at some places. Some fine blooms have 

 been cut, but the crops are far between 

 and it cannot be called a profitable vari- 

 ety for general cultivation. Golden 

 (iate is another variety which has been 

 disappointing here, there being but few 

 blooms. 



His Beauties are looking remarkably 

 strong and healthy, but on account of 

 being planted too close in the benches 

 are not throwing as many long-stemmed 

 blooms as they should. Queen of Edgely, 

 the Pink Beauty, is grown to perfection 

 here. It is, if anything, a more ram- 

 pant grower than its parent and a freer 

 bloomer, but to my mind it lacks suli- 

 stance and will never take the place of 

 the Red Beauty. A nice stock of Helen 

 Gould is being propagated and grown 

 for next season's planting. 



A fine lot of Manetti was ready for 

 grafting, though Mr. Monson is a firm 

 believer in stock grown on its own roots. 

 He attributes clubroot to the drjdng out 

 of the roots when the plants are small. 

 For growing Meteor lie uses clay and 

 gravel and little or no fertilizer, as he 

 thinks this variety thrives best and pro- 

 duces the best blooms when starved. 



His rose houses are all built with the 

 short span to the south, IC-xL'il glass and 

 iron gutters being used. The gutters 

 are seven feet from the ground, nuiking 

 the houses large and light. 



Mr. Monson will discontinue growing 

 palms, as he finds them unprofitable. He 

 has a fine lot of several hundred hydran- 

 geas in fine condition for Easter trade. 

 His lilies are badly diseased, both 

 longiflonim and Harrisii. Azaleas, 

 paBonias, hybrid roses. Crimson Kam- 

 blers, etc., are also in fine condition. Vio- 

 lets are grown in raised beds and are 

 doing finely, though some clubroot has 

 appeared in the Marie Louise. 



A full line of florists' supplies is also 

 carried by this firm, as well as canaries, 

 cages, etc. 



The plant will oe largely increased the 

 coming summer and plans are made for 

 enlarging and improving the heating 

 plant as well. 



The products of this establishment are 

 sold throughout the Northwest, though 

 most of them find a ready sale right at 

 home with the storekeepers of the Twin 

 Cities. X. Y. Z.
