The Market. 



There is little to add to recent re- 

 ports of local market conditions. Most 

 of the florists report a week of good 

 business, a large portion of which was 

 wedding and funeral work. The supply 

 of gladioli shows no sign of diminish- 

 ing. Some fine blooms are offered, but 

 prices are only moderate. There are a 

 few good asters on the market, but 

 they are hard to obtain. Boses are ar- 

 riving in more satisfactory quantities 

 now and lilies of splendid quality are 

 obtainable. There is a big demand for 

 both rubrum and Easter lilies. A few 

 growers still are cutting outdoor sweet 

 peas. Zinnias are much in demand and 

 they now are of splendid grade. Fall 

 work is being rushed. Chrysanthe- 

 mums, ferns, cyclamens and begonias 

 soon will be in demand, and they will 

 be ready when the time comes. 



Various Notes. 



The Minneapolis Floral Co. reports a 

 good run of funeral orders. Miss 

 Pludell, the bookkeeper, recently re- 

 turned from a most delightful vacation. 



The H. B. Whitted Floral Co. reports 

 business as being good. The entire 

 staff has been busy with funeral work 

 and wedding decorations. An ammonia 

 freezer has been installed in the Tenth 

 street store. George Oyes has returned 

 from a vacation spent in northern Min- 

 nesota and Miss Jensen has returned 

 from a delightful motor trip to the 

 northern lakes of Minnesota. This con- 

 cern had a charming window display 

 at the main store last week, depicting 

 on a small scale a log mill scene, true 

 to the smallest details. 



Some splendid work will be shown at 

 the fair by the Minneapolis florists. 



William F. Holmes reports business 

 good, with plenty of funeral work. He 

 had a charming display of gladioli, 

 ferns and artistically arranged bowls 

 and baskets of flowers. 



The Sunshine Florist is as eager as 

 ever to present fine stock in an attrac- 

 tive way. Careful work and good taste 

 are well repaid here. 



The Chicago Avenue Greenhouses 

 have a fine stock of Boston ferns. 



The Lakewood Cemetery Greenhouses 

 have a splendid lot of begonias and 

 Boston ferns for the fall trade. A 

 large cut of carnations is expected soon. 



The fine sweet peas displayed by 

 Oscar Amundson win much admiration. 

 A pretty window display of roses, lilies, 

 gladioli and sweet peas was made last 

 week. E. M, P.
