MERRY CHRISTMAS 



FIVE YEARS AGO we offered you Pocahontas, with the assurance that it would soon displace all other 



crimsons. Some of you bought it and were glad. Others turned it down and later on regretted having done 



so. That is why the demand for the cuttings was fully double the supply this past winter. This is not 



meant for a complaint, but merely to caution you not to make the same mistake with Merry Christmas. We 



believe that Merry Christmas will take the same, place among scarlets that Pocahontas holds among the 

 crimsons. If you have confidence in our judgment, send us your order now and get in on the early deliveries. Dissemina- 

 tion begins next December.

feeding. You must feed to get good 

 blooms, but get a good plant first. In 

 every case I have found that more 

 money can be earned per square foot by 

 growing the mums on two or three 

 stems. Pompons are much in favor 

 here. This is due to the fact that more 

 artistic table decorations are being used 

 and the pompons lend themselves to all 

 types of artistic wdrk. 



Kumor has it that Max Kaiser has 

 bought ten acres of land in the Golden 

 valley, Minneapolis. Surely there is 

 room for it, Max. Go to it, and more 

 power to you! Most of the importa- 

 tions of palms from Belgium were 

 slightly soft, on account of the long 

 time in transit. Still, they missed the 

 tin whales. 



Old-fashioned, sweet smelling flowers 

 had the places of honor June 21 at the 

 State Horticultural Society 's exhibition, 

 held at the university farm. Straw- 

 berries were the only fruit exhibited. 

 Luscious specimens were displayed on 

 a long table. There were some newly 

 named varieties, including Progressive, 

 Americus and Superb. H. G. Groat, of 

 Anoka, carried off the first and only 

 prize offered in this field. Thousands 

 of people visited the building during 

 the day, in course of which a lecture 

 on bee keeping and demonstrations of 

 pruning and spraying were given. 



It has been a busy week for most of 

 the fiorists. Wedding decorations have 

 been numerous and Miss H. B. Whitted 

 did a great deal in that line last week. 

 Many beautiful homes and churches 

 have been exquisitely decorated by her. 



Business in cut flowers is good all 

 over the city, largely on account of 

 the numerous weddings. The most com- 

 monly seen flowers at present are the 

 peonies. Hundreds and hundreds of 

 these are grown all about Minneapolis, 

 causing a great display of them in the 

 stores, with extremely low prices. 



The New York Florists are doing a 

 big business in potted plants. They 

 have a large assortment of plants suited 

 for garden and window boxes. 



Florists all about the city have splen- 

 did displays of plants and flowers and 

 all report business good. The weather 

 is getting warmer and everything out- 

 doors is doing nicely. P. E. B.
