The Florists' Review 



Max 21, 1914. 



MINNEAPOLIS. 



The Market. 



Downtown retail business has slack- 

 ened since Mothers' day, but those who 

 handle bedding plants are bustling with 

 preparation for what is expected to be 

 the biggest spring season in the his- 

 tory of the trade in this city. The ar- 

 rival of warmer weather has resulted 

 in an increase in cut flower production 

 and there is now an abundance of stock 

 for the existing, demand. It is antici- 

 pated that most of the growers will be 

 in good crop by Memorial day and that 

 there will be a good supply of stock 

 in all lines except peonies, which, of 

 course, must come from the south at 

 this season. An increase in business is 

 being prepared for. 



Various Notes. 



The garden adjoining the Armory, 

 which gained national celebrity at the 

 time of th« S. A. F. convention, because • 

 of the exhibits bedded there, now 

 makes a brave show \tith tulips and 

 other spring bulbous flowers. Nearly 

 100,000 bulbs now occupy the beds, the 

 largest planting ever seen in Minne- 

 apolis. The garden made so big a hit 

 last summer that the park department 

 is continuing it, with Mr. Wirth in 

 charge. Summer plants will follow the 

 bulbs. 



The Donaldson florists' department 

 has a new Kissel Kar truck of elaborate 

 body design for flower deliveries exclu- 

 sively. It is one of the handsomest 

 trucks in the city and quite an ad for 

 Mr. Desmond's department. The new 

 detached store to be occupied by the 

 flower and plant section will be ready 

 for occupancy about June 15, The fix- 

 tures are being installed. As a result of 

 Mr. Desmond's trip to Chicago May 17, 

 E. Farley has joined the force in the 

 flower section. 



Bluffton, Ind. — Myers & Co. have big 

 success with the Enchantress family; a 

 fine crop for Mothers' day swelled the 

 bank account. 



Dayton, O. — Harry Jergens and Peter 

 Jergens, Jr., members of the firm of 

 Peter Jergens' Sons, aJte going to dis- 

 solve partuersJiji^p. The former will con- 

 tinue in this line; the plans of the latter 

 are not known.
