The Florists" Review 



Jcira 17, 1016. 



ST. PAUL, MINN.

The Market. 



Conditions during the last week have 

 been satisfactory to the growers and 

 retailers. After most of the bedding 

 and seeding was completed, a heavy 

 frost put in its appearance June 9. 

 This is the latest frost for many years. 

 There is no question that more bedding 

 stock was sold this year than in any 

 year past, a great deal of replanting 

 being necessary. All growers are 

 (ileaned up on stock and well satisfied 

 with the season's business. The cut 

 flower end is well holding its own and 

 stock of all kinds is in good demand. 

 Roses and carnations are of good qual- 

 ity and moving well. Local peonies are 

 now coming into this market and the 

 quality is good. The wet season has 

 so increased the insect pests that many 

 growers of peonies who have not kept 

 their eyes open have had their stock 

 greatly depleted by them. 



Various Notes. 



Holm & Olson report a heavy plant- 

 ing season and are completely cleaned 

 out of that class of stock. This firm has 

 an effective insecticide window dis- 

 play, featuring two large made-up bugs 

 electrically illuminated and well repro- 

 duced; the remainder of the window is 

 filled with insecticides of all kinds. 



H. C. Hanson reports a heavy season 

 on all cut flowers and plants, and ex- 

 presses himself well satisfied. 



The West Side Greenhouses are com- 

 pletely cleaned out of bedding stock, 

 and surely had a large amount to dis- 

 pose of. This firm is renovating its 

 houses for the coming season. 



The Flower Shop reports a fine season 

 in its new location, business in all 

 branches being good. 



Geo. Bates, of Holm & Olson, who 

 recently was hit by a street car at 

 Seventh and Wabasha, is back on the 

 job again. He asserts that if it had 

 not been for his heavy head of hair, 

 the car would have sent him into the 

 old library. As it was, he was laid up 

 for two weeks with several broken ribs 

 and a general shaking up. C. R. F.

An Exaggeration | 



With a Reason Back of It ^ 



npHIS is an interior view of the Half Iron Frame Green- 

 ^ house we built last year for the Mt. Feake Cemetery, 

 at Waltham, Mass. Its roof supports are framed exactly 

 like some of our largest Full Iron Frame Houses. 



We have blackened and exaggerated a set of the roof 

 framing members to the stronger impress them on your 

 mind. But don't compare this framing with the usual pipe 

 purlins and posts, having clamp fittings. 



All our purlins, in all our construction, are ang^le iron. 



All our fittingfs are bolted through-acd- through. Not 

 clamped on. Bolted on. 



There's absolutely no chance of a slip off. For 30 years 

 we have been bolting our columns and fittings through-and- 

 through. 



Let us give you full particulars of our Half Iron Frame 

 and Full Iron Frame Construction. 



You know we go anywhere for , 

 business or to talk business.
