TWIN QTIES. 



The Market 



Trade the past week has not been 

 good. Stock is abundant and can be 

 bought for almost any old price. Select 

 roses are retailed for $1.50 per dozen 

 and ordinary stock for $1 per dozen. 

 Some fancy carnations were sold the past 

 week for 50 cents per dozen, and the 

 Greeks have been offering them for 35 

 cents per dozen. Saturday has developed 

 into a sales day, particularly with the 

 department store trade, and large lots 

 of cheap stock are turned over on very 

 small margins, much to the annoyance 

 of the legitimate florists. 



Minneapolis. 



The Whitted Floral Co. will soon 

 move into its new store on Fifth street. 

 They will have an ideal place, a great 

 improvement over the present quarters. 

 Rent is about doubled, but is not to be 

 considered if the best is their aim. 

 They already have a large trade and will 

 undoubtedly add greatly to it in the 

 new location. 



Eice Bros, say they have stock to 

 burn, and judging from the manner in 

 which it has been coming into this mar- 

 ket, there is more truth than poetry in 

 their statement. Their demands being 

 largely from the smaller towns, they 

 feel the slump in trade before we feel 

 it in the cities. 



Powers Mercantile Co. reports a good 

 business, the demand being particularly 

 heavy in the packet seed line, bulbs, 

 etc. 



The New York Floral Co. is selling 

 large numbers of carnations this fine 

 weather, of course at the close price 

 of 35 cents per dozen. The Nicollet 

 hotel trade helps this firm materially. 



St. PaoL 



L. L. May & Co. say business has 

 been quiet, their principal demand being 

 for funeral work. 



Holm & Olson have not started to 

 build as yet, but expect to begin opera- 

 tions in a short time. They have the 

 glass on hand. 



Chas. F. Vogt says trade is only fair 

 in cut flowers, but he is experiencing 

 a heavy demand for shrubs of all kinds. 



The Eamaley Floral Co. says that 

 business is quiet and is making prepara- 

 tion to handle plants. Felix. 



Denison, Tex. — Confederate Memorial 

 day is April 26. Each year larger quan- 

 tities of flowers are being used.
