The Florists' Review 



NOVEMBKE 30, 1916. 



MINNEAPOLIS, MINN. 



The Market. 



Compared with that of the week pre- 

 ceding, business for the week ending 

 November 25 was rather dull. There 

 were a few social functions and fU- 

 nerals that provided work for some, but 

 not enough to make anybody step live- 

 ly. The retailers are well supplied with 

 cut flowers and plants, and, according 

 to preparations made, a good Thanks- 

 giving is expected. 



There is a perfect flood of mums — 

 glorious yellow, pink and white flowers 

 they are, of premier quality. Pompons, 

 too, are in profusion; a call for any 

 particular color or variety of these 

 could be quickly satisfied. Eoses are 

 arriving nicely, Ophelia and Milady be- 

 ing particularly good property on ac- 

 count of their perfect blooms and long 

 stems. Lilies are scarce, and the prices 

 steep. The valley situation remains the 

 same — the receipts small, with 100 

 sprays worth $7. Violets are more 

 plentiful and enjoy a good sale. De- 

 sirable cyclamens are more conspicuous 

 and there is a growing demand for other 

 good plants. 



Ample preparations are being made 

 for a banner Christmas business, many 

 of the retailers this year making use 

 of artificial flowers in attractive ar- 

 rangements, baskets, etc. 



Various Notes. 



The annual festival and dance of the 

 Florists' Club was held Friday night, 

 November 24. A good crowd came out 

 and enjoyed the evening. 



Last week was a busy one at the 

 park board greenhouses. At the close 

 of the mum sliow 4,000 blooms were 

 cut and distributed to various institu- 

 tions in the city. 



The Fifth street store of the Whitted 

 Floral Co. last week had a splendid 

 window display of dinner and luncheon 

 table decorations. 



As usual, Thomas S. Lyncs had a 

 unique window of fine stock last week. 

 Mr. Lynes does a large business in cut 

 flowers. E. M. P.
