TWIN CITIES, 



The Market 



Business the past week has been fine; 

 in fact, it was not a question of get- 

 ting orders, but a question of how the 

 orders could be filled. From reports of 

 all the dealers Decoration day trade was 

 the largest that the florists ever had. 

 The weather was fine and everybody 

 wanted something in the flower line. 

 Cut flowers were scarce, and all kinds of 

 substitutions were made in order to give 

 something tp each one. Cape jasmines 

 come in handy and many an order that 

 called for carnations was filled with 

 capes. Boses were held at a premium. 

 The heavy rains spoiled about everything 

 growing outdoors. Complaints from out- 

 of-town customers will no doubt be gen- 

 eral. The city trade knows the exact 

 conditions, but the country trade expects 

 what is ordered and it will be a hard 

 matter to explain the situation to them 

 in a satisfactory manner. That prices 

 were good goes without saying. 



St. Paul. 



L. L. May & Co. report the heaviest 

 trade they have had in years. They say 

 it has never failed, that they receive 

 large funeral orders at just such busy 

 times. 



The Swanson Floral Co. says business 

 was fine and they sold about everything 

 in stock. 



Holm & Olson report an exceptionally 

 heavy demand for bedding plants. 



Otto Hiersekorn did a nice trade and 

 is glad the rush is over. 



Krinke & Son sold everything they had 

 and say they could have sold twice as 

 much. 



Minneapolis. 



Carl Johannsen, manager for the 

 Powers Mercantile Co., reports the larg- 

 est business they have ever had. In 

 addition to the Decoration day trade, 

 he «ays the demand for flowers for grad- 

 uating exercises was unusually heavy. 



Whitted is well satisfied with the in- 

 crease of business in the new store. 

 Miss Whitted will leave for an eastern 

 trip within the next few weeks. 



James Soudan, with Wm. Donaldson 

 & Co., says it was the best trade they 

 have had, as they sold everj'thing and 

 could have used more stock. Felix.
