 strong as the following: 



Minneapolis. Minn.. January 5. 1901. 

 White Enamel Refrigerator Co..

 Dear Sir:— Tbe refrigerator you huilt for us 

 recently is proving entirely satisfactory. It 

 maintains a very unifoim temperature of 42 

 (leyrees. and flowers keep in it well. 



We find it wt 11 constructed and a highly 

 attractive ornament to our stoie. 



Yours very respectfully, 



E. Nagel & Co.

 Dear Sir:— Since using your ice case in our 

 retail flower department we have saved 30 per 

 cent ill the consumition of ice. Our saving 

 in flowers we cannot accurately determine, 

 butshouldestimateconservatively 25 percent. 

 Not only this, fl(»wers keep with us* as they 

 never did before, and retain their salable 

 appearance loneer. Your box is certainly a 

 boon to the florists and we predict a wonder- 

 ful sale on them, especially to the florists, 

 when their qualifications become known. 

 Yours truly.

Improvement is the order of tbe day 

 in florists' circles in the Saintly City. 

 Everybody engaged in the business is 

 making some addition or improvement, 

 some qnite extensive, others on a smaller 

 scale, but everybody is doing something, 

 all of vfhich would indicate a prosperous 

 season just passed. 



Eeferenee has been made to the follow- 

 ing buildings being erected: L. L. May 

 & Co., 7 new houses; Holm & Olson, 4 

 new houses ; A. S. Swanson, 3 new houses ; 

 Carl Peterson, 2 new houses. 



In addition to these previously men- 

 tioned, N. C. Hansen is erecting a new 

 house for carnations, 23x3 25 in 

 dimensions. The material for this 

 was obtained in Chicago, the best 

 Louisiana cypress. The glass used will 

 be 16x18 and butted, no putty being 

 used. The glass will be kept in place by a 

 wooden cap screwed on. Mr. Hansen has 

 recently purchased three acres of land 

 containing a neat dwelling and barn, 

 situated on Dale street and Maryland 

 avenue. It is his intention to eventually 

 (>rect a large range. The location for 

 his houses is ideal, the land sloping to 

 the south. 



Henry Krinke is also building one or 

 two new houses to accommodate his rap- 

 idly expanding trade. 



E. F. Lemke is tearing down some 

 houses on his property on Hague ave- 

 nue and is erecting three new houses, 16x 

 85, 12x85 and 8x85 in dimensions, re- 

 spectively. These will be planted to car- 

 nations and violets. Last year he erected 

 a fine house at this place, 16x160, even 

 span, 14x16 butted glass being used in 

 its construction.

N. C. Hansen has a fine crop of sweet 

 peas and is cutting from 5,000 to 10,000 

 daily. He is growing nineteen varieties 

 and all are doing finely. As the list of 

 varieties may be both profitable and in- 

 teresting, I will give them here: Capti- 

 vation, Countess Cadogan, Navy Blue, 

 Firetiy, Blushing Beauty, Blanche Bur- 

 pee, Emily Henderson, Countess Radnor 

 and Extra Early Blanche Ferry, all good 

 and first class. Extra Early Blanche 

 Ferry was in bloom this season June 16 

 in open ground. Considering the cold 

 and backward spring, this is considered 

 very early. In the second division we 

 place tho following: Eliza Eckford, 

 Royal Robe, Peach Blossom, Aurora, Ap- 

 ple Blossom, Coquette, Black Knight, 

 Admiration, Stella Morse and Primrose. 

 Under different circumstances, with dif- 

 ferent growers, in different soils and lo- 

 calities, results might be different, so I 

 pass this on, without suggestion, as one 

 man's experience with these sorts. 



L. L. May & Co. are benching carna- 

 tions. These have made remarkable 

 growth in the field and are in fine shape 

 for planting. 



Carlson & Lauritztn have their rose 

 houses all replanted and are putting in 

 new benches preparatory to planting ear- 

 nations. This firm has had good suc- 

 cess with roses on their own roots, and 

 claim more blooms than from grafted 

 ones. All new building has been with 

 butted glass, which method of laying 

 they consider far superior to lapping. 



At Como Park the cannas are bursting 

 into bloom, furnishing a dazzling array 

 of colors. The lily ponds are a great 

 center of attraction. 



Notwithstanding the heat and inactiv^ 

 ity in social circles, there is still some 

 trade, and white flowers are very scarce 

 at times. Asters in particular are in very 

 good demand and of excellent quality.
