The Florists' Review 



March 15, 1917. 



MINNEAPOLIS. 



The Market. 



Business has, on the whole, been quiet 

 during the last week. Although the 

 weather was favorable in every way, it 

 did not make uj) for the quietness in 

 social activities which Lent brings with 

 it and which makes itself felt consider- 

 ably to the florist. Stock generally was 

 of good quality, roses, especially Eich- 

 mond, Pink Killarney and White Kill- 

 arney, being deserving of special mem- 

 tion. 



There was a large supply of bulbous 

 stock on the market, more in fact than 

 the demand, which was fairly strong, 

 called for. Stock included tulips of 

 some excellent varieties, jonquils, daffo- 

 dils and poeticus. Some excellent fancy 

 sweet peas are arriving and find a ready 

 sale. 



Florists have been busy in prepara- 

 tion for the St. Patrick's day trade 

 and many are now getting ready for 

 Easter. At the greenhouses growers 

 are busy potting up geraniums, vincas 

 and other plants for spring planting. 



Various Notes. 



The Hiawatha Gardens Co. will have 

 about 8,000 lilies for Easter. The com- 

 pany's rose plants look excellent. A 

 large quantity of tulips and other bulb- 

 ous stock is also being grown. 



Hans Tfosacker has no rose plants this 

 year, but a fine stock of lilies, hyacinths 

 and tulips. His roses are excellent and 

 he is daily cutting about 500 Richmonds, 

 as well as large quantities of Killarney 

 and White Killarney. 



Max Kaiser will have 20,000 lilies for 

 Easter. He also has a large stock of 

 fine rambler roses. 



The Lakewood Cemetery Greenhouses 

 are growing a good supply of Easter 

 lilies, bulbous stock and ferns. 



John Lindberrv, who opened a new 

 greenhouse last fall, has a good supply 

 of bulbous stock. His lilies will be 

 ready for the Easter trade. 



Some highly attractive window dis- 

 plays were to be seen in the city last 

 week. Swanson 's had a neat display of 

 spring flowers, artisticallv arranged, 

 and the H. B. Whitted Floral Co. had 

 attractive displavs at both stores.

KICKLESS 



GEORGE SCHUNEMANN, 

 of Baldwin, Long Island, 

 has a reputation for being 

 particular. In fact he is very 

 particular. 



On a rf cent call to see how 

 his sweet pea crop was coming 

 along, he made the statement 

 that "Hitchings have done his 

 heating for twenty-eight years, 

 and he has never had a kick." 



Then he called attention to 

 a terrific storm that blew down 

 windmills, broke greenhouse

glass and raised hob generally, 

 but it didn't even loosen a light 

 in his Hitchings Reconstructed 

 Construction Greenhouse. 



Then he mentioned how last 

 year he cut peas for five months 

 — a thing possible only in a 

 house of extreme lightness, and 

 having ideally exact ventilation 

 and heating control. 



If you are tired of kicking, 

 there is a remedy.
