The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



Mat 29, 1902. 



ST. PAUL. 



The weather during May has been 

 very changeable, which is not conducive 

 to the best results in the florist's line. 

 But we are fortunate in escaping the 

 frosts of the east, the floods of the 

 west and the deadly cyclones of the 

 south. The intensely hot weather of the 

 past two weeks has brought blooms out 

 in a hurry, sacrificing quality for quan- 

 tity, but there has been enough stock 

 to go around and sales have been fully 

 up to the average of former seasons. 



Eoses have suifered from the heat, 

 especially the Liberty, which does not 

 prove ideal for summer shipping. "The 

 buds open up too rapidly and when once 

 opened are too single. As a shipper 

 it bears no comparison to the Meteor. 

 Some early planted Kaiserin and Carnot 

 are now coming in at a very acceptable 

 time. Carnations have been somewhat 

 hurt by the heat, Lawson especially 

 being badly spotted and discolored. 

 This seems to be another idol which has 

 fallen by the wayside at the advent of 

 warm weather. Outside valleys are now 

 in and are the finest they have been for 

 many years. The demand for Decora- 

 tion Day will be unusually heavy. 



The bedding season has commenced 

 in earnest and everybody is as busy as 

 the proverbial bee in the tar bucket. 

 Prices are somewhat better than in for- 

 mer years. As usual geraniums are the 

 favorites, retailing at $1.50 to $2.00 per 

 dozen for 4-in. pots. S. A. Nutt is the 

 most popular variety, Dryden, the new 

 salmon pink, being a close second. Can- 

 nas are also in good demand though we 

 think they will never become as popular 

 as geraniums. 



Shipping trade is reported unusually 

 good. Decoration Day orders are com- 

 ing very freely with every indication 

 of a record breaker for the occasion. 

 Flowers will be fairly plentiful. In out- 

 Bide stock there will be snowballs and 

 valley in this section. Lilacs are all 

 gone and pteonias not yet in bloom. 



Eecent callers were G. 0. Eldering, 

 of W. J. Eldering & Son. Holland; h! 

 E. Philpott, of Winnipeg. Man. 



L. L. May & Co. have received a car- 

 load of glass for the erection of their 

 new range of houses. In adtlition to 

 erecting three new houses they will re- 

 arrange and rebuild several others. 



It is rumored that Chris Hansen has 

 rented his place to a well known grower 

 in Minneapolis. 



The greenliouses at Oakland Cemetery 

 are overflowing with choice bedding 

 stock. O. H. Xordquist is superintend- 

 ent and one of the best plant growers 

 in the country. The cemetery comes into 

 direct competition with the growers and 

 as the Cemetery Association pays no 

 taxes considerable complaint is heard 



X. Y. Z. 



Flixt, Mich.— D. P. Smith has pur- 

 chased the ilaclntyre greenhouses and 

 is removing them to his place on East 

 street. This will give him an addition 

 of 10,000 feet of glass, making 20,000 

 feet in all. The new part will be de- 

 voted to carnations, mostly fancy sorts. 

 Trade has been good and prices better 

 the past winter. 



Reading, :^L\ss.— The Reading Nur- 

 sery has issued some additional booklets 

 on plants and landscape work, all very 

 handsomely illustrated. One is devoted 

 to ' ' The Mountain Laurel and Its Uses, ' ' 

 and another to "Landscape Effects."
