The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



June 28, 1006. 



TWIN QTIES. 



The Market 



Business the last week has been very 

 quiet with all of the trade. Planting 

 is all done, and the cut flower trade is 

 light. Prices keep up well. 



Outdoor flowers are coming in nicely 

 and peonies are being used considerably 

 in decorations of all descriptions; the 

 quality is much inferior to that of pre- 

 vious seasons. Those that are purchased 

 on the market can be bought at $2 per 

 hundred. Outdoor valley is also gone. 



Roses are coming in nicely and the 

 present crop will in all probability be 

 the last one on the old plants. The 

 growers are about ready to throw out 

 the old ones, so that there is a possible 

 shortage to look forward to. Carna- 

 tions are small, particularly those from 

 local growers, no doubt on accoimt of 

 the heat. Prices vary to a large extent. 

 Smilax has been scarce, and a great 

 many common ferns are being used. 



The greenhouse owners are all doing 

 some repairing, but building of new 

 houses is slow. 



The florists' picnic will in all prob- 

 ability be held at I^ke Minnetonka, 

 although the exact date and location has 

 not been decided on as yet. It has been 

 held for the past two or three s'easons 

 in the vicinity of St. Paul, and Minne- 

 apolis wants it this year. 



St. Paul. 



L. L. May and family left Sunday 

 evening to attend the seedsmen's con- 

 vention, to be held in Toledo. 



Charles Vogt says business is quiet, 

 but he has turned out quite a number 

 of funeral designs, which help consider- 

 ably. The profit on them at this time 

 of the year is good. 



The Swanson Floral Co. continues to 

 put up very attractive windows, which 

 are greatly admired. 



L. L. May & Co. report a fair trade, 

 but principally in the funeral work line. 

 They are also greatly pleased at the 

 heavy increase in their retail depart- 

 ment over previous seasons. A large 

 amount of it is no doubt due to the ef- 

 forts of their manager, J. W. Hoff- 

 man. 



Gus Colberg says business is very fair. 



Minneapolit. 



Oscar Araundson, of the Rosary, 

 says that trade is keeping up nicely, 

 and thinks the success of the business 

 from now on till fall will depend to a 

 large extent on the caution exercised in 

 buying. 



Carl Johannsen, of the Powers Mer- 

 cantile Co., says trade is fair. They 

 handle a good stock, which from all ap- 

 pearances sells well. 



Donaldson's glass block is undoubt- 

 edly doing a good business. Saturday 

 afternoon finds this firm all as busy as 

 bees. They handle good stock, which is 

 of course sold at just a little below the 

 legitimate florists' prices. 



The New York Floral Co. seems to 

 have them all beaten when it comes to the 

 number of carnations carried in stock. 

 They must have in the neighborhood of 

 5,000 carnations in their windows on 

 a Saturday afternoon. These they offer 

 at 25 and 35 cents per dozen.
