ST. PAUL. 



Tlie weather has at last turned warm 

 and pleasant and trade has revived. 

 Flowers have improved in quality and 

 tlie supply is about equal to the de- 

 mand. Beauties are still short, but are 

 improving daily, both in quality and 

 quantity. Violets are now quite plenti- 

 ful and have dropped to $5 and .$7. .50 

 per 1.000. Bulbous stock has been very 

 plentiful of late and has not sold quite 

 as well as a year ago. Lilies are not 

 very plentiful. In fact, there will not 

 be a very large supply for Easter. 

 Blooming plants are quite common. 

 Most of the store's have a spring-like ap- 

 pearance in their window displays. 



Gust Colberg, of the Swanson Floral 

 Co., lost nearly all of his household goods 

 by a fire, which destroyed his home the 

 afternoon of March 5. 



Wm. Speth has taken charge of L. L. 

 May & Co.'s retail store. Their green- 

 houses are looking very fine this winter. 

 A year ago they erected seven houses on 

 the short-roof pattern. These houses 

 are planted to roses this season, the 

 stock showing up in fine shape. Eoses 

 are all grafted and grown two years. 

 Liberty is the most profitable sort grown 

 hel-e this season. Beauties have done 

 fairly well. In carnations. Enchantress 

 is easily the leader. Violets have never 

 done well here, the last planting devel- 

 oping club root very rapidly. On Eas- 

 ter lilies here, as elsewhere, disease has 

 made its inroads, and some of the best 

 bulbs only produced one or two blossoms. 

 The bulbs are also badly mi.xed, there be- 

 ing eight or ten varieties in one batch. 

 The Japanese giganteum, red stemmed, 

 seems to be by far the best sort. An 

 immense stock of Easter blooming plants 

 is being grown. As this firm does an 

 extensive catalogue business, large num- 

 bers of mailing plants are propagated. 

 Frank Gustafson is the superintendent. 



At Holm & Olson's I found the fore- 

 man, Ludwig Anderson, busy as ever. 

 Roses and carnations are not grown here, 

 the range being built for palms, ferns, 

 mums, bulbous stock and bedding plants. 

 One lot of 1,000 longifiorum, cold 

 storage bulbs, were particularly fine. 

 The longifiorum giganteum were also 

 fine, but will have to be hustled to get 

 into bloom for Easter. The other stock 

 is all in good shape and a sure trade 

 winner. The growing facilities here are 

 supplemented by numerous hotbeds, 

 which are rendered necessary by their 

 large trade in spring bedding plants.

NEW ROSES 



Sardioal and gnchaotress 



Read testimonials from two of the largest growers in Washington who have bought 

 a large numtK-r of pkints after seeing them growing at my place. 



Washisgtox, D. C. February 27. 1904. 



Your new rose Cardinal came duly to hand and we firmly believe it will have a great 

 future, and will certainly be a money maker as it is in a class all to itself, being superior in 

 form and habit to anything that we have as yet seen. Your new rose Enchantress we also 

 think will be a great money maker, judging from its profuse blooming quality, as we have 

 seen it several times in mid-winter. It cannot help being a winner. Wishing you ever success, 

 we remain. Yours truly. A. GUDE & BRO. 



American Rose Co., 909 F St., N. W.. Washington. March 17, 1904. 

 Dear Snt: We gave all the show possible to Enchantress and Car<linal. idacing them in 

 our windo\\' with placards telling what they were. They kept a week, retaining their brilliant 

 color to the last. Cardinal was as full of perfume the day its petals dropped as \s hen it was 

 first cut. The roses are both matchless, and we believe destined to outclass all roses of their 

 color for forcing imder glass. Verv sincerely yours,
