The Florists' Review j^**- i i>i« 



ever before and nearly every florist is 

 far behind in filling orders. It will 

 require two or three weeks to see day- 

 light. The demand for geraniums is 

 exceedingly heavy and, by the looks of 

 things, everything will be cleaned up 

 in fine "shape during the next two weeks. 

 Trade Decoration day was heavy and 

 stock was quite plentiful, excepting 

 peonies, which have opened slowly. As 

 a consequence there will be a heavy 

 glut of them during the next week or 

 so. The rainy weather has been a bad 

 drawback in planting and the ground 

 has been so wet that it was almost im- 

 possible to catch up with that branch 

 of the work. 



Various Notes. 



The Florists' Social Club held a re- 

 ception and dance at the Arlington 

 Country Club May 22. There were 

 about thirty present and all had a most 

 enjoyable evening. J. M. 



MINNEAPOUSi MINN. 



The Market. 



Minneapolis is gay with Memorial 

 decorations. The town homes have their 

 window boxes planted up and the busi- 

 ness houses have announced their deco- 

 rations. One huge furniture store has 

 300 feet of window boxes, the work be- 

 ing done by the Minneapolis Floral Co. 

 The stores all stocked heavily with 

 peonies, roses, carnations, snapdragons 

 and sweet peas. Stock is generally 

 scarce locally, but large shipments are 

 made from Chicago and Milwaukee. 

 Every department store and every 

 Greek store is heavily stocked and they 

 cut the prices as against the florist 

 proper, who runs the florists' business 

 pure and simple. 



Lakewood Bars Bedding. 



The cemeteries are one mass of bloom. 

 Nowhere in the states are flowers used 

 so freely as in the Twin City ceme- 

 teries. The Lakewood Cemetery Asso- 

 ciation has passed a new rule and it 

 goes into force this month. It reads as 

 follows: "No flower planting is per- 

 mitted on lots or graves in Lakewood 

 cemetery. There may be a vase con- 

 taining plants and vines placed on each 

 lot, but any further decoration must 

 consist only of cut flowers placed on 

 graves." This will be of interest to 

 the trade from a business point. I un- 

 derstand that the association by this 

 rule loses $5,000 worth of business from 

 its greenhouses. General improvement 

 is, however, expected in the appear- 

 ance of the cemetery, which is the main 

 object. This innovation will be fol- 

 lowed with interest by many of the 

 local florists, who cordially agree with 

 the movement. 



Various Notes. 



Miss H. B. Whitted is as busy as a 

 bee. Large funeral orders and recep- 

 tion decorations have been the feature 

 of the week. 



Max Kaiser had cleaned up th« bulk 

 of his Memorial day stock at time of 

 writing. Baby Ramblers made 35 cents 

 to 50 cents; marguerites, 20 cents; hy- 

 drangeas, 50 cents to $2 for useful 

 plants. He has been turning down 

 orders since May 26, on account of 

 shortage of stock. 



Wessling's Greenhouses have in a 

 stock of new vases and are catering for 

 cemetery work. 



Thomas Hall's staff is working early

The Mazey Floral Co. has been work-
