The Florists' Review 



November 23, 1918. 



MINNEAPOLIS, MINN. 



The Market. 



The weather was ideal last week and 

 business was good as far as the retail- 

 ers were concerned. There was a large 

 quantity of decorative work and fu- 

 neral pieces were abundant. The 

 annual Wisconsin-Minnesota football 

 game created an unusually large de- 

 mand for mums and other flowers rep- 

 resentative in colors of the two big 

 universities. 



Excellent roses were obtainable last 

 week and carnations showed great im- 

 provement in the matter of size of 

 flower and length of stem. Easter lilies 

 are in short supply and the quotations 

 are high. The same conditions prevail 

 as to valley. Bouvardias and cycla- 

 mens of good quality are more plenti- 

 ful and have a good sale. Primroses 

 also are of special merit. Ferns and 

 basket combinations seemed to be the 

 features of last week's store windows, 

 which, as usual, were well trimmed. 



Various Notes. 



The sixth annual dance of the Min- 

 neapolis Florists' Club will be given 

 November 24, in the Royal Arcanum 

 hall, 3011 First avenue, south. 



A week of good business is the report 

 of the Whitted Floral Co. at its two 

 stores. The display windows were dis- 

 tinctive in that they suggested the time 

 of the year — early winter. Thanksgiv- 

 ing and football. 



The R. M. Chapman Co. has been re- 

 organized and the business will be con- 

 ducted under the name of W. H. Lill 

 Co. R. M. Chapman is opening a new 

 store on Marquette avenue. 



The Hennepin Flower Shop, a new 

 establishment situated in the heart of 

 the business district, has had an auspi- 

 cious start in business. 



The fiftieth annual meeting of the 

 Minnesota State Horticultural Society 

 will be held in Minneapolis, at the 

 West hotel, December 5 to 8. In joint 

 meeting will be the Minnesota Flower 

 Garden Society, the Plant Breeders' 

 Auxiliary, the Minnesota State Florists' 

 Society, the Northwestern Peony and 

 Iris Society and the Vegetable Garden- 

 ers' Association of St. Paul and Min- 

 neapolis. There will be lectures each 

 day and questions pertaining to horti- 

 culture may be asked by anyone. There 

 will be a display of plants by W. H. 

 Boflferding December 4. Roses will be 

 staged December 5 and chrysanthe- 

 mums and carnations December 6. Bas- 

 kets and bouquets will be displayed 

 December 7. The tentative program 

 of the Minnesota State Florists' So- 

 ciety meeting is as follows: "Storing 

 and Handling Gladiolus Bulbs," by G. 

 D. Black, Independence, la.; "Re- 

 sources of Present-day Florists," by 

 W. E. Tricker, St. Paul; "Greenhouse 

 Management," by Prof. W. Moore, 

 University Farm, Minneapolis; "Some
