MINNEAPOLIS, MINN. 



The Market. 



An oversupply of bulbous stock and 

 violets made last week a week of bar- 

 gains in spring flowers. Greenhouse 

 men were forced to dispose of large 

 quantities to prevent spoiling. The sup- 

 ply of carnations is equal to the de- 

 mand. The first cut of a new crop of 

 roses is fine, although somewhat light. 

 All growers are busy transplanting or 

 propagating spring stock. Outdoor tea 

 roses are being shifted. The crop of 

 Easter • lilies is coming along satisfac- 

 torily. 



Club Meeting. 



The florists spoke satisfactorily of 

 the results of the St. Valentine's day 

 advertisement. An amendment to the 

 by-laws of the club was made requir- 

 ing that an applicant for membership 

 must pay six months' dues. Members 

 not paying dues are to be notified and, 

 if they do not respond, are to be 

 dropped from the list. 

 •. ?rhree committees were appointed, as 

 follows: Entertainment, advertisement 

 imfl good of the club. The flower show 

 committee reported that the style show 

 will be held too early for a flower show 

 to be held in conjunction and that the 

 armory would be too large for a flower 

 show alone;;' The armory is not cen- 

 trally located and the majority were in 

 favor of a smaller show ^fceld in a more 

 centrally located building. 



A checkbook system was installed to 

 make wie paying of the club 's bills less 

 complicated. 



The club as a whole was appointed a 

 committee to get new members. 



Various Notes. 



The Holman-Gerdes Co. has been dis- 

 playing baskets and pottery, besides cut 

 flowers, in its windows. 



An orchard scene has been featured 

 in the windows of Miss H. B. Whitted 

 and attracted a great deal of atten- 

 tion. 



Mr. Evans, of the L. S. Donaldson 

 Co., made some odd designs, one of 

 which was a pillow made with a spray 

 effect, and another a broken column. 

 This concern has featured cut flowers 

 in baskets and pottery in its display 

 windows. C. B. L.
