MINNEAPOLIS. 



The Market. 



The first part of the week was chilly 

 and rainy. The rain was badly needed 

 and splendid results may be seen about 

 the city and country. Plants and crops 

 in general had the appearance of being 

 scorched. The last of the week found 

 the city visited by another heat wave of 

 some intensity. 



Business is good, a condition that has 

 been a blessing to Minneapolis florists 

 this summer. It is hard, however, to 

 obtain stock, the demand being much 

 greater than the supply. Large funeral 

 orders and weddings keep the supply of 

 flowers nearly exhausted, and while this 

 condition exists a large business will be 

 impossible. 



There is a big demand for roses, but 

 these are diflBcult to buy. While there 

 have been fine Easter and rubrum lilies 

 in the market, at good prices, the supply 

 of them has not met the demand, and 

 they are becoming more difficult to ob- 

 tain. Gladioli are plentiful and much 

 sought. The prices, however, are not 

 high. There continue to be some gar- 

 den flowers, such as delphiniums and 

 gaillardias. There are few daisies, as 

 large beds of these have been complete- 

 ly dried up. There are some asters com- 

 ing in and there is a demand for all the 

 good ones obtainable. 



Various Notes. 



W. H. Bofferding has been ex- 

 tremely busy with funeral work. 



Miss C. H. Lippincott reports busi- 

 ness a little quiet, with a hard time to 

 obtain good stock. She expects better 

 conditions soon and anticipates a splen- 

 did fall trade. 



T. S. Lynes says business is fair, with 

 a considerable quantity of funeral work. 

 Mr. Lynes has purchased a hunting dog 

 and will take a hunting trip in the near 

 future. Mr. Lynes is fortunate in hav- 

 ing a splendid stock of sweet peas com- 

 ing in daily. 



E. A. Latham reports business good. 

 He expects to occupy the new premises 

 shortly, the new building now being 

 under construction. 



The flower department of the E. M. 

 Chapman Co. reports a good business. 

 Miss E. Larson is in charge of the de- 

 partment. 



The Vasatka brothers, of the Chi- 

 cago Avenue Floral Co., are rushing 

 the work on a new greenhouse. They 

 recently purchased a large piece of land 

 and are cutting fine carnations and 

 asters. 



The Chicago Avenue Greenhouses are 

 as busy as usual, but report difficulty

Woonsocket, S. D. — Mrs. H. E. Eich- 

 ardaon, proprietor of the Woonsocket 

 Greenhouse, says this season has been 

 the most unusual in her experience and 

 extremely trying to all plant life. Ten 

 weeks of drought, with strong, hot winds 

 from the south and a blistering sun, 

 ripened all fruits before their time,, 

 blasted and blighted many flowering 

 plants and left the florist with little 

 stock to satisfy a steadily increasing 

 demand.
