probably the heaviest ever experienced 

 in this locality. Ordinarily dealers in 

 this section do not expect any great 

 rush and they were all surprised at the 

 heavy demand. Some retailers state that 

 their sales on that lay were fully double 

 what tbey were a year ago. The in- 

 crease in trade was rot only in the Twin 

 Cities, but country orders were heavy. 



Minneapolif. 



The Whitted Floral Co. reports a big 

 valentine business and an exceptionally 

 heavy demand for single violets. Bulbous 

 stock also sold well. They experience a 

 heavy demand for the Moulton rose. 



The Bosary reports a good trade, even 

 if surrounded by Greeks, who sell at 

 almost any price. 



Donaldson's Glass Block also reports 

 good sales and one could not but believe 

 that they are doing a large business 

 from the appearance of their place. 

 They seem to be able to keep four clerks 

 going nicely in that department 

 . The New York Floral Co. is display- 

 ing large numbers of carnations and on 

 a fine day succeeds in disposing of them 

 to good advantage. 



The weather has been very mild, but 

 not warm enough to permit the street 

 dealers making any great show; trade, 

 therefore, has been confined to the flor- 

 ists, who pay good rents and are justly 

 entitled to the trade. 



St. Paul. 



The Swanson Floral Co. has some very 

 nice violet plants in fancy baskets. Au- 

 gust Swanson was successful in getting 

 some fine novelties early in the season. 

 Their Endicott Arcaile store is also very 

 attractive. 



L. L. May & Co. have had some very 

 nice show windows of plants in bloom, 

 which sell well during the mild weather. 

 They report the demand for violets the 

 past week the heaviest they have had 

 for some time. The single varieties seem 

 to sell a great deal better than the 

 double. The long distance telephone is 

 being greatly used by their trade in the 

 outside towns. 



Holm & Olson are always well stocked, 

 both with flowering plants and cut flow- 

 ers, and trade is good with them. 



Felix. 



The Market 



Business has kept up remarkably well 

 since the new year; in fact, the demand 

 has been away ahead of home production 

 for some months past The Baltimore 

 Florists' Exchange has been unable to 

 catch up with orders. With its incrca'-^«li 

 number of new shippers and additional 

 new glass put up by old consignors thcrtj 

 is still a shortage. 



Prospects are good for an nicrcaso of 

 roses and carnations, since \-.e are hav- 

 ing brighter weather. Pnws h.ive ixcpt 

 up well on all good slock. Freesias, (al- 

 ias and yellow tulips are tlie only flow- 

 ers carried over, but ii :i goo'l' mcijy 

 cases are .bought up when nothing else is 

 in sight. Smilax is starce and asparagus 

 is coming in only in limited amounts. 



Various Notes. 



St. Valentine's day is annually be- 

 coming more of a feature in the cut 

 flower business. Violets and red roses 

 were in big demand and the retailers' 

 windows were appropriately decorated. 



The prize of $10 went to Thomas Pa- 

 terson for bringing in the largest num- 

 ber of new members to the Gardeners' 

 Club during the past year, thirteen be- 

 ing the lucky number. 



Akehurst & Sons and Lehr Bros, are 

 sending in the finest Enchantress of this 

 season. 



Albert G. Fiedler & Co. have bought 

 the property at 90ii South Charles street 

 which they have occupied for the past 

 six years and intend to rebuild this sum- 

 mer. 



Mrs. Stewart, for many years on Penn- 

 sylvania avenue, win retire. A. F. 



Here is a dollar for the Review for 

 1906, the ideal paper for the trade.-.
