The Florists^ Review 



OCTOBEB 5, 1016. 



been in business for himself and is a 

 successful grower of bedding plants, 

 tomato seedlings, stocks, snapdragons 

 and mignonette. In addition to his 

 trade activities he is a special state offi- 

 cer of the Society for the Prevention 

 of Cruelty. 



Visitors. 



Eugene S. Boerner, who has been 

 taking the course in floriculture at the 

 University of Illinois, is preparing to 

 open a store in Urbana. He was in 

 town October 1 and 2 purchasing the 

 things he needs for the venture. 



One of this week's visitors is Harry 

 E. Taylor, who is employed in Breit- 

 meyer's store, in Detroit. 



Among those who attended the con- 

 vention of the Vegetable Growers' 

 Association of America was A. J. Dreis- 

 bach, of the Jefferson County Green- 

 house Co., of Anchorage, Ky. Mr. 

 Dreisbach was born in Kentucky and 

 says if you can't make a good living 

 where you are well known, you can't 

 make it anywhere. His concern has 

 60,000 square feet of glass and grows 

 chrysanthemums for the Louisville 

 market. 



Frank Danzer, of Breitmeyer's Sons, 

 of Detroit, Mich., and his family were 

 visitors last week. 



L. G. Lindsay, of the Hiawatha Gar- 

 dens Co., Minneapolis, Minn., passed 

 through Chicago on his wedding trip 

 last week. 



E. W. Metz, of Metz & Bateman, 

 Toledo, O., was a visitor in the market 

 last week. He said he was preparing 

 for the grand rush he can see coming, 



A well known visitor on the market 

 this week was Marion W. Uhlschmidt, 

 of Grimm & Gorly, East St. Louis, Mo. 

 His was not a pleasure trip, but one of 

 buying for the fall rush. 



Among those who spent last week in 

 Chicago was Walter Mott, representing 

 Benj. Hammond, of Beacon, N. Y. 



J. E. Jones and his son, R. E. Jones, 

 of the Advance Co., Richmond, Ind., 

 spent last week in Chicago, showing 

 their ventilating apparatus at the vege- 

 table growers' meeting. 



John Evans, of Richmond, Ind., was 

 in town for a couple of days last week, 

 shaking hands with those who use his 

 ventilating apparatus. 



Harry A. Barnard, the popular repre- 

 sentative of the English firm of Stuart 

 Low Co., is in Chicago this week. 



MINNEAPOLIS, MINN. 



The Market. 



Fall business is picking up rapidly 

 and florists report a busy week. With 

 the return of vacationists to their 

 homes, the opening of colleges, and the 

 reoccurrence of social affairs, there has 

 been a big demand for flowers of all 

 kinds and varieties. There also was 

 much funeral work, which helped to 

 make a good business week. Good stock 

 is scarce just now, though conditions in 

 this respect are better now than they 

 have been for a few weeks, this being 

 especially true as to roses and lilies. 

 Roses are coming in nicely, including 

 some flne Russells and Ophelias, as well 

 as splendid Beauties. Lilies, both 

 Easter and the rubrum, do not meet the 

 demand. Lily of the valley is short and 

 prices are high. While there still are 

 some gladioli in the market, they are 

 the last and have small blooms. We 

 now also see the last of the asters, 

 though at the first of the week some 



Supreme Quality
