The Market. 



The weather turned much colder two 

 days before Thanksgiving and con- 

 tinued cold all through the week; con- 

 sequently plants and cut flowers took 

 a great deal more packing to keep out 

 the frost and to get them in first-class 

 condition to the customer. The Thanks- 

 giving trade was good, the heaviest day 

 being Wednesday, although Tuesday 

 was heavy on shipping orders. The 

 chrysanthemum stock was excellent and 

 sold well. Enguehard was especially 

 fine, but the flower seems too heavy for 

 the stem and easily breaks when 

 handled. Yellow and white Chadwick 

 ■were fine specimen blooms and brought 

 a much better price than any other va- 

 riety. The yellows and pinks were the 

 best selling lines and a little lagging 

 was seen in the whites, owing perhaps 

 to the oversupply of white varieties. 

 Pompons in all colors were plentiful and 

 sold well. Koscs were good stock, with 

 no trouble to make sales. Long-stemmed 

 Russells were in nice condition and 

 brought good prices. Columbias and 

 Beauties were fine stock. Cecile Brun- 

 ners wore ]'Oor stock and soemed to have 

 no color in tlifin; consequontly Wards 

 were used more for corsage work. Single 

 violets were plentiful and a great many 

 were used in corsages worn at the 

 Thanksgiving festivals. Carnations 

 were fairly good stock, though sales 

 are not so large while pompons are to be 

 had. Good flowering plants were scarce. 

 The few cvol.'imciis and primulas that 

 were to be had were not much in bloom. 

 The few ])ompons in pots sold well. The 

 supply of greens was plentiful. Paper 

 White narcissi and Grand Soleil d'Or 

 are nice stock and give a little more 

 variety when making bouquets. 



Various Notes. 



Tlie Duluth Floral Co. made a large 

 casket cover for the Fay funeral; it 

 was composed of many hundred Ophelia 

 roses. With this firm the Thanksgiving 

 trade was excellent and extra help was 

 hired. Many large orders were shipped 

 to the range towns, which kept the staff 

 busy Tuesday and Wednesday; the re- 

 tail trade was (piite satisfactory. Fu- 

 neral work was brisk all last week. 



Business was good with J. J. Le 

 Borious for Thanksgiving. His cut of 

 chrysanthemums was at its best and he 

 supplied most of the florists in Duluth 

 and Superior and many mums were 

 shipped to the range towns. His retail

business was about double that of last 

 year and nothing is left of his chrysan- 

 themums but one house of late varie- 

 ties, which are not yet ready to cut. 

 He is cutting a lot of Paper White and 

 Grand Soleil d'Or. Poinsettias are 

 showing color and will be in fine shape 

 for Christmas. 



William Japp, of the Lester park 

 greenhouses, did a large business in 

 potted plants for Thanksgiving and 



could have sold many more had his cyc- 

 lamens been more in bloom. He is a 

 little too far out of town to expect 

 much retail business; consequently he 

 has to depend upon the wholesale trade 

 of Duluth and Superior. 



The Alpha Florist made a good show- 

 ing of chrysanthemums and roses for 

 the Thanksgiving trade. He has large 

 show windows, in which he made a de- 

 cidedly effective display. J. E. S.
