Its freedom of bloom coupled with its other meritorious qual- 

 ities will commend it to the most conservative growers. 

 You will make no mistake by growing FRED BURKi.

ST. PAUL. 



Thanksgiving business was very good, 

 with scarcely enough stock for the de- 

 mand. Everything sold well, but violets 

 were easily the leaders. Mums are nearly 

 all gone and no one is sorry, fox they 

 are the cause of much work to the re- 

 tailers and" anxiety to the growers. 



November has been one of the warm- 

 est on record. Nothing is just right with 

 the growers. Roses all came in crop at 

 once and could not be kept back; violets 

 have not bloomed as they should; the 

 plants look nice but blossoms are scarce; 

 carnations are doing fairly well, but 

 do not yield as they should. 



During the summer one of the con- 

 fectionery stores put in a cut flower 

 stand and has been selling flowers regu- 

 larly ever since. It is conducted by a 

 Greek and flowers are sold cheap, most of 

 them being shipp&d in. 



Miss Dartt has built a violet house 

 <m the west side, 



A. H. Bunde is running the place for- 

 merly conducted by W. J. Lempke. 



H. E. Philpott, of Winnipeg, was a 

 recent caller. X. Y. Z. 



DETROIT. ^ 



George Leadley, the Woodward ave- 

 nue florist, has bought an apartment 

 building valued at $30,000, giving, it is 

 stated, $10,500 cash and some real estate 

 in exchange. 



John Breitmeyer's Sons are going 

 ahead with their plans for building as 

 announced in the Review several months 

 ago. An eight story building 56x70 will 

 bi erected at a cost of $90,000. The 

 lower floor will be used by the firm and 

 the upper floors rented' as oflSces. While 

 rebuilding is going on the store will be 

 removed to the building with the Michi- 

 gan Cut Flower Exchange. 



The Florists' Club went to Belle Isle 

 park November 22 to inspect the new 

 greenhouses erected there the past sea- 

 son.
