^e Market. 



Business among the florists was re- 

 ported good last week. Although the 

 retail stores did not do much in the 

 cut flower line, there were many cases 

 in which florists described the week as 

 a "rush." This is attributed to the 

 heavy funeral work and decorations for 

 weddings and other afFairs. While 

 there is much stock in the city, it is 

 hard to procure. One florist says there 

 are not enough greenhouses in and 

 near the city to meet the demands of 

 •o many florists. There are many good 

 roses to be had, ranging in price from 

 $3 to $8 per hundred. Carnations are 

 making $2 per hundred, but the warm 

 weather has made carnations scarce. 

 There is a fine crop of gladioli arriving, 

 including America and Mrs. Francis 

 King. These are bringing $2 per hun- 

 dred. One. sees many fine delphiniums, 

 coreopsis, Shasta daisies, bachelor's 

 buttons, gypsophilas and gullardias. 

 Sweet peas are not so plentiful now, but 

 they continue to arrive. There are flne 

 asters on the market and they have 

 been used in many pieces most artistic- 

 aUy. 



VarlotiB Notes. 



The Twin-City florists held their an- 

 nual picnic Wednesday, July 19, at 

 Wildwood, Minn. This is a flne sum- 

 mer resort about twenty-two miles from 

 Minneapolis. The day was spent in 

 dancing, flshing, boating and bathing. 

 There were athletic contests of tSl 

 kinds. 



The Chicago Avenue Greenhouses 

 have some fine cyclamens and ferns. 

 Business is reported as being good. 



Thomas S. Lynes had a nifty window 

 last week. L^rge masses of garden 

 flowers, such as delphiniums, bachelor's 

 buttons, gladioli and sweet peas, were 

 arranged most artistically. Mr. Lynes 

 reports sales as being lively, except dur- 

 ing the last few daj^s, when the heat 

 put a crimp in business. During the 

 quiet spell the men took advantage of 

 the lighter deliveries and overhauled 

 and repainted the delivery outfit. The 

 chauffeur, Kenneth Lynes, was ill last 

 week. 



The Eldridge Floral Co. expects to 

 incorporate shortly and erect a large 

 range of glass somewhere near Minne- 

 apolis. The company is awaiting the 

 arrival of a large refrigerator from 

 Buchbinder Bros., of Chicago. 



Thomas Hall has a splendid stock of 

 roses and expects to have a good cut 

 in about a month. 



The Lakewood Cemetery Association 

 has commenced cutting blooms of Lil- 

 ium rubrum, for which there is a brisk 

 sale. 



High-grade gladioli, asters and roses 

 were the principal offerings of the 

 Minneapolis Floral Co. last week. 

 Business was good. 



William F. Holmes had a week of 

 heavy funeral work. Art, as usual, 

 seems to predominate in everything at 

 the Holmes store. 



Miss H. B. Whitted returned July 18 

 from Chicago. She says her staff has 

 been on the jump with decorative and 

 funeral work. £. M. P. 



Bntta, Mont. — ^B. T; Manlove, one of 



Butte's pioneer florists, has leased his 

 establishment to J. W. Hollow, former- 

 ly of Helena, who will conduct the busi- 

 ness under th« old name, Manlove 's.
