SNAPDRAGON PAYS 



When sending a repeat order for snapdragon seed, 

 K. J. Snyder, North Germantown, N. Y., writes : 



"During March and April alone, from 148 plants of 

 your Silver Pink Snapdragon, I cut $150.00 worth of 

 blooms. I think that great for the bench room they 

 occupied." 



Do you know of any plant that will do so well ? Seed 

 should be sown now for plants to follow mums. We have 

 seed as follows:

MINNEAPOLIS. 



The Market. 



Desj)ite the hot weather and the ab- 

 sence of rain, the market was well sup- 

 plied with stock last week. Baby's 

 breath, sweet peas and jfladioli are 

 abundant, and last week saw the be- 

 ginning of the aster arrivals. The lat- 

 ter had good stems and the blooms 

 were of fair size. Easter lilies still are 

 in quantities. Fine American Beauties 

 are reaching the market and local grow- 

 ers are cutting some good short-stemmed 

 roses. There are excellent Boston ferns 

 to be had and there is a ready sale for 

 plants. Business has been quiet with 

 the retailers, funeral work creating 

 about all the demand. 



Various Notes. 



Swanson's had an attractive summer 

 window last week. Palms and ferns 

 surrounded a fountain, in the l)asin of 

 which were goldfish. Tlie whole was 

 illuminated by electricity. 



The Franklin Nursery lias been cut- 

 ting some fine outdoor stock. 



Ainiindson 's had a sni)])ly of good as- 

 ters and lilies last week. Tlie store pre- 

 sented an attractive a])pearance. Busi- 

 ness here lias been good, considering the 

 season. 



While business has been (juiet at the 

 Whitted Floral Co. store, it has had 

 some good funeral orders latelv.

The Market. 



The hot weather has had an unfavor- 

 able effect on business,, there bciuff al- 

 most no (kMiiand for llowers outside of 

 funeral work. 



There is a fine su]>idy of lilies, includ- 

 ing rubruni giganteuin and regale, but 

 the demand for them is light. Gladioli 

 are arriving in large numbers and they 

 are of extra fine quality. The ])riees 

 obtainjpi for these are good. Asters are 

 scarce, especially those of good quality, 

 many of them showing the effects of the 

 extremely warm weather. Summer 

 roses are fairly good, Russell, Ophelia, 

 Kaiserin, Sunburst and Shawyer show- 

 ing up best under the trying tempera- 

 tures. 



Mention The Review when you write. 



Carnations are at the end of their sea- 

 son at last, few being seen on the mar- 

 ket. There are a few good dahlias, and 

 among the outdoor flowers are zinnias, 

 snapdragons, sweet peas, phloxes and 

 gaillardias. Feverfew, cornflowers and 

 gypsophilas are also seen in the stores.
