The Florists^ Review 



OCTOBIB 25, 1917. 



MINNEAPOLIS. 



The Market. 



A week of sharp weather, with light 

 snowfalls and heavy frosts, has im- 

 proved business. Stock is arriving in 

 good variety and of fine quality. Chrys- 

 anthemums are of superior grade, with 

 long and strong stems and heavy blooms. 

 Boses are plentiful and moderate in 

 price. Milady sells well and Eichmond 

 is always popular. Of Killarney, both 

 the pink and white varieties are fine 

 and full and they find a ready market. 

 Violets are here and meet a strong 

 demand. Valley is scarce, also Easter 

 lilies and orchids. Primroses are com- 

 ing in, but carnations are hard to find, 

 most of the stock being imported. Local 

 plantsmen are growing a good many 

 cyclamens. Blooming plants are plenti- 

 ful, also Boston ferns. 



Various Notes. 



Florists are already making plans 

 and preparations for the holiday trade 

 and indications promise an active mar- 

 ket. The flower department of the Day- 

 ton Co. specializes in designing and is 

 busy with the season's work. Pamel 

 Bros., the new wholesale and retail firm, 

 have started in business with a fine 

 stock and they report good sales. Their 

 specialty is a dollar box containing an 

 assortment of flowers. 



Moore, Terwilliger & Co. are special- 

 ists in landscape gardening and have a 

 fine trade in cut flowers and shrubs. 



At the fashion review held at the 

 John W. Thomas department store Oe- 

 tobeT 18 the decorations were arranged 

 by Mazey. Chrysanthemums, pompons 

 and oak leaves were used to develop a 

 color scheme of autumn hues. 



The death of Mrs. O. J. Olson, wife 

 of the junior member of the firm of 

 Holm & Olson, St. Paul, which The Re- 

 view has noted in another column, has 

 brought out many expressions of sym- 

 pathy from friends in the trade.

The chrysanthemum now is coiiiing 

 to the front as the leading flower. Car- 

 nation receipts also are larger, while 

 the quantity of roses remains about the 

 same. All cut flowers are in good 

 supplv and of good quality, but the 

 demand is large and stock is being 

 cleaned up as fast as it arrives. The 

 mums are moderate in size and little 

 fancy stock is offered. Chrysolora, 

 Tint of Gold and Oconto are the lead- 

 ers. Prices on all cut stock remain 

 normal. Lilies, valhey and orchids are 

 plentiful. 



Various Notes. 



E. Humfeld reports business as up to 

 the standard, with plenty of funeral and 

 wedding work on hand. He is cutting 

 good white and yellow mums. 



A. F. Barbe says he cannot grow 

 enoxigh stock at his greenhouses to sup- 

 plv the demand. 



Arthur Newell says business is better. 

 General conditions have improved and 

 everyone seems busy. 



The W. L. Rock Flower Co. is bring- 

 ing in a large quantity of chrysanthe- 

 mums, roses and carnations, and busi- 

 ness is as good as this time last year. 



The delivery truck of W. J. Barnes 

 has had a fresh coat of paint, and two 

 new wall showcases of oak have been
