The Florists^ Review 



Apkil 15, 1920 



MINNEAPOLIS AND ST. PAUL. 



Easter Business. 



Easter trade in the Twin Cities was 

 affected by the stormy weather. The 

 plant dealers were the hardest hit, be- 

 cause of the storm Thursday and Friday 

 before Easter. It was difficult to make 

 deliveries and the people in general 

 were not in a mood to buy flowers. 

 There was a good supply of Easter 

 plants and cut flowers of all sorts. 

 Easter lilies and other stock moved well 

 and the business since the holiday for 

 parties and social functions has cleared 

 the market on lilies. 



Various Notes. 



The April meeting of the Minneapolis 

 Florists' Club took the form of a ban- 

 quet at Donaldson's tea rooms. The 

 ladies were invited on this occasion. 



The ladies' florists' organization of 

 Minneapolis had a party Tuesday eve- 

 ning, April 6. 



The horticultural division of the state 

 fair is offering about $7,400 in premiums 

 for this fall. 



Frank Gustafson, St. Paul, has been 

 ill for several weeks. H. E. Philpott has 

 been looking after his business. 



August Swanson, an old member of 

 the trade in St. Paul, has moved to 

 Pasadena, Cal. 



C. H. Ramsdell has returned from a 

 business trip to Montana. He reports 

 considerable work under way there in 

 the landscape line. Scarcity of good 

 material and reliable labor is troubling 

 the landscape men. 



The forestry section of the St. Paul 

 park board is to plant 4,600 trees on the 

 streets this spring. 



Will Bros. Co. has some fine houses of 

 snapdragons, sweet peas and carnations. 



Local nurseries began wholesale ship* 

 ments last week and expect to make re- 

 tail shipments and do local planting 

 soon. L. C. 



HEADING WEST. 



L. F. Darnell, of Cleveland, O., is 

 headed for the west coast, seeking new 

 members for the F. T. D. He has cov- 

 ered the states of Oklalioma, Kansas, 

 Nebraska and Colorado and has met 

 with success in getting at least one new 

 member in good standing in every city 

 that he has visited.

This photograph was taken December 6, 1919, and will give a good idea of what HAMBURG LATE 

 PINK looks like when grown to single steins and planted six inches each way. 



HAMBURG LATE PINK CHRYSANTHEMUM 



is an improved late pink Maud Dean, having more petals and, if grown for 

 late, will hardly ever show an open center. 



The arerage grower of Cbrysanthemums must have Tarletles which are easy to handle and 

 from which he can cut as near 100% of perfect tUooma ae possible. Haniburcr I. ate HInk has 

 been grown for the last four years, and produces a very higrh proportion of srood flowers. It Is 

 not an exhibition variety, but for late pink Is one of the best for commerolal purposes. It can 

 be had In bloom the latter part of November by taklner an early bud, but some of the flowers 

 will show open ceuters. By selecting late buds, aftnr October 1, most of th<> flowers are cut 

 dailng December, and would advise to select late buds, as the later buds will hardly ever show 

 an open center, and some flowers can be had even In January. 



Keeping qualities are excellent and where a graceful pink flower Is wanted, Hambarg 

 Late Pink cannot be surpassed.

Orchid Grower Wanted 



The man I want doesn't read "help wanted" ads on the classified page. He isn't 

 looking for a job. He is 30 to 35 years old. He is commercially trained. 



He has had experience with a progressive company, growing Orchids for a com- 

 mercial, up-t'i-date place. 



He will be interested in change only after he hears of our institution; its 40 years' 

 record of sound success; its need for him and the opportunity it offers. 



He would be willing to make his home on the place, west of Philadelphia. 



Salary to be discussed later, but I do not want a man who hasn't proven to the 

 satisfaction of < thers. 



Just one answer is what I want. Make it in detail; be sure it will be treated in 

 confidence. 



Onlv written application will be received, but if your reply is considered favor- 

 ably, an interview will be arranged at no expense to you. 

 Address No. 460, care Florists' Review, Chicago.
