TWIN CITIES. 



The Market 



Business the past week was fair. Con- 

 siderable activity is shown by the grow- 

 ers, with bedding stock. The prospects 

 for Decoration day trade are good, as a 

 large number of plant orders have al- 

 ready been booked, particularly from 

 outside towns. Prices on cut flowers are 

 fair, although some of the dealers have 

 reduced their prices on roses from $1.50 

 to $1 per dozen. Carnations are very 

 good, but somewhat small. Prices on 

 them vary considerably, selling for 50 

 cents, 75 cents or $1 per dozen. 



There is considerable miscellaneous 

 stock on the market, including sweet 

 peas, pansies, peonies, and some very 

 choice Pink Eamblers. Baby Rambler 

 plants, being extensively advertised by 

 the catalogue houses, are in big demand. 

 Some dealers have experienced trouble in 

 getting enough to fill orders. The de- 

 mand from the country is very heavy. 

 Two-year-old stock sells the best, and as 

 it is advertised as an ever-blooming rose, 

 customers in country towns buy them 

 readily. Funeral work has been the main 

 business the past week with the dealers, 

 the demand for loose cut flowers being 

 somewhat l^ght. 



St. Paul. 



The Swanson Floral Co. has had a 

 very handsome window display the past 

 week, consisting of several huge fancy 

 baskets of Pink Ramblers. They have 

 also displayed some of the finest tulips 

 seen in this section. Gus Colberg, of 

 that concern, says business is good, and 

 predicts a heavy trade for Decoration 

 day and also for graduation exercises, 

 which occur the first part of June. 



L. L. May & Co. have a large display 

 of bedding plants in front of their store, 

 which sell fairly well. They have had 

 considerable retail nursery trade in the 

 past weeks. They also report a good 

 trade in funeral work, the demand for 

 cut flowers being light. 



Axel Johnson, until recently foreman 

 for Holm & Olson, has discontinued the 

 florists' business. He left the fore part 

 of this week for Idaho, where he will 

 engage in fruit-raising. 



Chas. F. Vogt says trade is good. He 

 has a number of orders for planting, 

 and it keeps him pretty busy. He says 

 the retail cut flower business is quiet. 



Minneapolis. 



Wm. Donaldson & Co. continue to han- 

 dle large quantities of stock and are 

 greatly pleased at the manner in which 

 the business is keeping up. 



The cemetery associations are selling 

 considerable plant stock to dealers.
