stock, cut flowers, designs, spray pumps and hor-

 nations and roses.

 and hardy plants, nursery stock, palms and other

 In convenient form for the pigeonhole or pocket. 



C. 0. Morse & Co., San Francisco, Cal. — 

 "Morse's Early-flowering, Long-season Spencer 

 Sweet Peas," not a complete catalogue of the 

 varieties grown, but a special list of half a dozen 

 novelties, with fine full-page illustrations. "These 

 novelties," says the booklet, "are absolutely fixed, 

 both as to type and color, and would have been 

 ready for introduction earlier except for loss of 

 crops on account of aphis." 



Peter Henderson & Co., New York, N. T. — 

 "Henderson's Midsummer Catalogue" of straw- 

 berry and vegetable plants for summer planting; 

 vegetable, flower and farm seeds for summer sow- 

 ing; also implements, fertilizers and other requi-

 cover. Pot-grown strawberry plants have first 

 place in the book, as one of the specialties. 



MINNI!APOLIS, MINN. 



Incessant rains are our chief trouble 

 at present. Vegetation is flourishing. 

 The bulk of the planting-out work is 

 finished. 



The Civic and Commerce Commission 

 has decided to place another 100 win- 

 dow boxes to add to the city's hand- 

 some appearance. The New York daily 

 papers are commending the hanging 

 gardens of Minneapolis. It is a fine 

 boost for the trade and it surely would 

 pay florists in other cities to take up 

 the matter of embellishing their home 

 towns. 



The Franklin Gardens, at Sixtieth 

 and [Lyndale avenues, have a magnifi- 

 cent show of herbaceous plants and cut 

 flowers. This concern specializes in 

 pyrethrums, irises, peonies, delphiniums, 

 roses and other stock. The sweet peas 

 are exceptionally good, considering the 

 poor climatic conditions. 



The Minneapolis Floral Co. has 

 planted a good grade of asters in its 

 greenhouses. Funeral and wedding 

 work was heavy last week. 



The Hiawatha Gardens Co. has a fine 

 lot of young chrysanthemums. This 

 company makes a specialty of ferns 

 and I saw several houses of Bostons 

 in fine condition. An increase in busi- 

 ness is reported. A good deal of space 

 is devoted to young poinsettias. 



Wm. F. Holmes had a pretty window 

 display last week. Many little lace 

 ferns, tied with dainty pink tulle bows, 

 made a fine display. Artistically ar- 

 ranged baskets were set off by a back- 

 ground of ferns and palms. Business 

 is reported good. 



The Lake View, a new store recently 

 opened and operated by Geanokaplos 

 Bros., has a splendid flower department. 



A short distance from the Lake View 

 A. Abdallah is working up a steady 

 trade in cut flowers and plants. He 

 carries a good assortment of stock and 

 has a good trade in funeral and corsage 

 work. 



John Martens, at Lake street and 

 Bloomington avenue, has a fine display 

 of baby rambler roses, geraniums and 

 double marguerites. He has been busy 

 with wedding and funeral orders. 



The West Floral Co. cleared most of 

 its stock and now is preparing to plant 

 the autumn stock. Spring trade here 

 has been the best ever. 



William Desmond is working hard to 

 get the Lyndale range into .first-class 

 shape. Among other things, he will
