MINNEAPOLIS. 



The Market. 



Business was quiet during the first 

 part of last week, but Memorial day- 

 gave it an impetus. There has been 

 little social work recently, due, it is 

 thought, to the war. Weddings, too, 

 have been few and none of them elab- 

 orate. Toward the end of last week, 

 however, buying began to increase and 

 business opened briskly May 28, orders 

 for Memorial day coming in. There was 

 ample stock of good quality to take 

 care of the holiday business. 



Excellent Russell and other roses are 

 in the market. Prices range from $4 

 to $10 per hundred. Orchids are scarce. 

 Carnations are of good quality and a 

 large supply reaches the market daily. 

 Valley of the best quality is scarce 

 and prices are light. There is some out- 

 door valley, but it is not good. Snap- 

 dragons, gladioli, daisies, sweet peas, 

 mignonette and lilacs find ready sale. 

 The weather has taken a change for the 

 better and the first part of the week 

 was warm and bright. 



Various Notes. 



The Lakewood Cemetery Association 

 was busy wuth Memorial day work. 



John Lindberg is cutting some ex- 

 cellent Winsor carnations. 



Max Kaiser is adding vegetables to 

 his stock of flowers and plants. 



All of the retail stores had appropri- 

 ate window displays for Memorial day. 

 Several of them were most artistic and 

 attracted considerable attention.

GLEN COVE, N. Y. 



The Nassau County Horticultural So- 

 ciety held its spring show in the Neigh- 

 borhood House May 23. The quality of 

 blooms did not equal those of last year, 

 owing to the inclement weather, but 

 competition was keen in most of the 

 twenty-seven classes. The principal 

 exhibitors were James ISfacDonald, J. F. 

 Johnson, William Noouan and Robert 

 Jones, but John Dombrosky, Joseph 

 Adler, Alexander Sheriffs and James 

 McCarthy staged some good exhibits 

 and were among the prize-winners. 

 Cultural certificates were awarded to 

 John F. Johnson, for salpiglossis; to 

 James McCarthy, for Yarrawa sweet 

 peas, and to Robert Jones, for a mag- 

 nificent group of French hydrangeas. 

 Special mention was made of anemones 

 staged by Mr. Johnson. 



The judges were James Duthie, E. 

 Westlake and James McCarthy. Robert 

 Jones was manager of the show and 

 his work entitles him to a word of com- 

 mendation. H. G.
