The Florists' Review 



8EPTEMBEB 4, 1913. 



MINNEAPOLIS, MINN. 



Various Notes. 



The cut flower business of the Min- 

 neapolis Floral Co. increases each year. 

 The wholesale trade of this company 

 extends through the northwest and over 

 a large area of Canada. The plant, 

 which is on the trolley line which runs 

 to Lakes Harriet and Minnetonka, at- 

 tracted the attention of many of the 

 convention visitors. 



Will Bros, have now twenty-four 

 greenhouses, covering an area of 225,- 

 000 square feet. Their specialties are 

 carnations, roses and chrysanthemums; 

 of these they now have 95,000, 30,000 

 and 30,000 plants respectively. 



September 1 saw William F. Holmes 

 established in his new store at 8 South 

 Seventh street. His business has grown 

 rapidly since he began a year ago on 

 Nicollet avenue. 



The L. S. Donaldson Co., of which 

 William D. Desmond is the florist man- 

 ager, finds it a profitable plan to grow 

 the supply of flowers for the retail 

 trade, and the plant covers over three 

 city blocks. 



Although Tom Lynes has only been 

 at his present location in East Minne- 

 apolis for two years, he is one of the 

 pioneer florists of the Twin Cities, hav- 

 ing been in the business for twenty-two 

 years. 



Another old establishment is that of 

 Theo. W. Nagel, at 1118 West Lake 

 street, which was begun twenty-five 

 years ago. The present proprietor 

 learned the trade from his father, the 

 late Eggert Nagel, who was one of the 

 best known florists in the northwest. 



Mr. Wessling, proprietor of the Lake- 

 wood Greenhouses, received his initia- 

 tion into the florists' trade in Ger- 

 many, and worked for a number of 

 years on the continent before coming 

 to this country. 



Rice Bros.' now has the name of 

 being the largest florists' supply house 

 in the northwest. Their new location, 

 which they have now occupied for 

 about a year, contains all the up-to- 

 date lines. 



R. A. Latham is still growing in busi- 

 ness at the shop at 83 Tenth street, 

 which he has occupied for the last ten 

 years. 



The business of the Vine Grove Nur- 

 sery Co., where Arthur M. Shepherd has 

 been in charge since the retirement of 

 his father two years ago, is devoted 

 mainly to the city trade. The beautify- 

 ing of the grounds of clubs and private 

 residences is the specialty of this firm.

FARMERS & FLORISTS TMKA8E FERTILIZER 



€L Is acknowledged by the majority of florists and farmers of the 

 United States to be the best balanced commercial fertilizer manu- 

 factured. It carries in its composition a percentage of the ten Basic 

 Salts constituting soil, and it would be an impossibility to use it oo 

 any farm, field, lawn or bench without enhancing fertility and pro- 

 ductiveness. It carries a very high percentage of the principal plant 

 foods, as certified in its guaranteed analysis of:— Nitrogen 2.90%, 

 Ammonia 3^2 to 4<!h, Phosphoric Acid 8 to 10% and Potash 3%. 



01 Our AETNA BRAND OF TANKAGE FERTILIZER is giving 

 universal satisfaction wherever used, and as we believe in the law 

 of live and let live, and that honesty is the best policy, we have

 ure of $22.00 a ton, f. o. b. Chicago. Write for sample order and
