ST. PAUL. 



The Market. 



Trade is v;iriablo but quite satisfac- 

 tory in general. With plenty of sunshine 

 there has been a good supply of stock, 

 the only noticeable shortage being Beau- 

 ties and other red roses. Violets are be- 

 coming more plentiful and bulbous stock 

 has made its appearance. Hyacinths and 

 tulips in made-up baskets are attractive 

 sellers, while Trumpet Majors give the 

 tirst touch of spring to their surround- 

 ings with their bright yellow colors. 

 Funeral flowers have constituted a large 

 percentage of sales. Society circles seem 

 very quiet this winter. 



Country trade keeps up remarkably 

 well, whicli shows that our country 

 cousins have money for luxuries as well 

 as necessities. With big crops and all 

 farm produce bringing a good price, 

 prosperity seems assured. 



Notes. 



W. G. Schucht is calling on the trade 

 this week in the interest of C. C. Poll- 

 worth Co., Milwaukee. E. H. Vick, rep- 

 resenting Win. Hageniann & Co.. and Mr. 

 Schwake, with Chas. F. Jleyer, were also 

 callers. 



A. S. Swanson has added one new 

 house for roses, one small bulb house, 

 and installed a new boiler, besides re- 



building two houses, giving him one of 

 the largest plants in the city. He grows 

 a great variety of plants, bulbs and flow- 

 ers, probably a larger variety than any 

 one in the state. Liberty on two-year- 

 old roots is looking nicely and throwing 

 long stiff stems, but three-year-old 

 plants have not done well. American 

 Belle has always done nicely here and 

 Mr. Swanson considers it far ahead of 

 Queen of Edgely. Chatenay is a superb 

 variety. Its popularity, however, is lim- 

 ited, as the buying public does not seem 

 to ask for it. Prince of Naples is one 

 of those rare kinds whose great beauty 

 and worth have not become known. The 

 rose is very large, rivaling the Beauty 

 in size, of a light pink shade not unlike 

 the old La France. The foliage is su- 

 perb. The growth is very strong and 

 it is a good bloomer. Mr. Swanson has 

 always been an enthusiastic and success- 

 ful bulb grower, forcing more varieties 

 than any grower here. One house is 

 planted to Spanish iris. A large number 

 of lilies are grown for Easter. This 

 seAson he is growing Harrisii exclusively. 

 Many blooming plants are also grown. 

 This place is superintended by himself. 

 A down-town store is managed by Mrs. 

 Swanson, while a half interest is main- 

 tained in two other stores, one in Minne- 

 apolis, managed by his brother, the other 

 but recently opened in St. Paul and man- 

 aged bv Giist Colberg. X. Y. Z.

The Eeview is a ray of light, a morn- 

 ing sun to the progressive florist. — J. E. 

 Elder, Sioux City, Iowa. 



J. 6. Robinson & Son, Waukesha. 

 Wis., send us a couple of bunches of vio- 

 lets just to let us see that the Hudson 

 river growers have no monopoly in the 

 matter of Marie Louise. As a matter of 

 fact these are quite up to the best east- 

 ern stock and far outclass it in frag- 

 rance. Kennicott Bros. Co. handles this 

 stock in the Chicago market and report 

 these goods as steadil.y commanding 

 more money than any others in town.
