The Florists' Review 



April 29, 1920 



4ippeals to every class and the person 

 who cannot afford a dozen flowers will 

 •not be ashamed to buy one. Christmas 

 means a time when $5 does not buy 

 many flowers and this is beyond the 

 reach of a great many with the numer- 

 ous other demands for the holiday." 



Hundreds of dollars' worth of flowers 

 were presented to the old and new 

 •councilmen and other city officials at 

 -their inauguration April 19. J. R. Mc- 

 ■Grail had the order for decorating the 

 ■council chamber, where the ceremonies 

 were held, as well as for many of the 

 offerings, and he has received from 

 Mayor Cowgill a letter of appreciation 

 for the manner in which the work was 



■ done. Mr. McGrail and several helpers 

 worked all day Sunday at the city hall. 

 Smilax, ferns, daisies, lilies and hy- 

 drangeas were used for decorations. 



The Muehlebach Flower Shop made 

 for Alderman Bivona, who was re- 

 elected from the Italian district, a 

 floral piece consisting of the American 

 and Italian flags, standing eight feet 

 high. The flags were complete on both 

 sides. Three thousand carnations were 

 used, some having to be dyed to get 

 the national colors. It took twelve 

 hours to make the flag and the com- 

 pleted design had to be delivered in an 



• open truck with three men to handle it. 



C. L. Thomas has 4,000 gladioli 

 planted in the space back of his store 

 and greenhouse and 2,000 more bulbs 

 on the way for later planting. 



J. E. McGrail attended the state 

 Democratic convention in Joplin, Mo., 

 April 22 to 23. 



Mrs. T. A. Moseley had a heavy week 



■ on funeral orders. Many of the flowers 

 left over from Easter were used. 



Increasing business has necessitated 

 the employment of another bookkeeper 

 at the Muehlebach Flower Shop. L. 

 Zwisler has the position. 



Among other orders Samuel Murray 

 "had for Mrs. Kenneth Snyder 's funeral, 

 April 17, was a pall of soft ferns and a 

 large cross of lilies of the valley. 



The W. L. Rock Flower Co. will fill 



• orders for carnations for Mothers' day 

 with assorted colors and will allow only 

 one-third white on any order. They 

 are suggesting May day baskets and 

 boxes of assorted old-fashioned spring 

 flowers to offset the demand for carna- 

 tions. J. E. K. 



W. S. Dolan has come here to take 

 • charge of the Kansas City oflBce of the 

 American Greenhouse Mfg. Co. He has 

 'had much experience in both the sales 

 and the production departments of the 

 company in the Chicago office. H. A. 

 Alspach is no longer with the company. 



ST. PAUL AND MINNEAPOLIS. 



The Slarket. 



Left-over Easter lilies are gradually 

 going. Snapdragons and sweet peas are 

 arriving in quantity. There will ap- 

 parently be plenty of flowers for 

 Mothers' day. Carnations and roses are 

 • coming in quite well. Everybody is 

 busy now getting stock in shape for 

 Memorial day. 



Club Meeting. 



The Minnesota State Florists' Asso- 

 ciation met at the Merriam Park Floral 

 Co. greenhouses April 22. In spite of 



■bad weather, about twenty-five members 

 were present. August Swanson, Gust 

 Malmquist and Fred Busch, three of the 



■ oldest members of the association, were
