 season. Killarney seems to be the most 

 satisfactory pink, although great hopes 

 are held for the Moulton, which seems 

 to .be growing in favor. . Bichmonds are 

 coming in nicely and good stock is sold 

 quite rtadily at $2 per dozen, other va- 

 rieties, including Chatenay at $1.50 per 

 dozen. Beauties are commanding from 

 $5 to $8 foi* the best stock. Asters

L.> L. May & Co. have made a great 

 many improvements in their store, one 

 in particular being an apartment for de- 

 sign work, which has so far proved to 

 be an szcellent idea. 



Holnt ft Olson have not yet moved into 

 the new store, but will be there soon. 

 They have installed a fine new ice-box. 



E. F. Lemke has done considerable 

 building at his Snelling avenue plant, 

 and now has a modern lot of houses 

 there. Alfred Lemke, who was for a 

 number of years in the business here, 

 and who later was located in Sioux 

 City, la., is now located in Minneapolis, 

 but makes his home here. 



It ia reported that S. D. Dysinger, 

 late of Sears, Roebuck & Co., Chicago, 

 has accepted a position with Holm & 

 Olson. 



John A. May, of L. L. May & Co.,

 the building of an ice-box between fifty 

 and sixty feet long. 



The Powers Mercantile Co. is having 

 a good trade, not only in cut flowers, 

 but also in bulbs. 



Amundson & Kirschner, the new flo- 

 rists on Hennepin avenue, between Fourth 

 and Fifth streets, say that trade is good 

 for a starter. Oscar has a great many 

 friends and a good following, so that 

 they will undoubtedly do well. Mr. 

 Kirschner comes from Helena, Mont., 

 and has been in the business all his 

 life so that they should make a winning 

 team. 



Whitted now has one of the most at- 

 tractive stores in this section. The fiX' 

 tares are mahogany, and the place has 

 an oriental effect, which is completed 

 by the oriental rugs on the floors. Busi- 

 ness in the new location is good.

ANTHERS IN LILIES: 



I noted at a recent exhibition some 

 exhibits were disqualified because the an- 

 thers had been removed from the liliee. 

 Now, had any of our London florists 

 shown and used lilies they would most 

 certainly have fallen into the same error. 

 Where flowers are shown for their own 

 value alone, it is undoubtedly better that 

 they should be shown without having been 

 mutilated (as the E. H. S. authorities 

 term the removal of the anthers). Yet 

 for all floral work it is as necessary to- 

 remove the anthers to give the flowers a 

 clean appearance, as it is for a man to- 

 shave his face. The K. H. S. council 

 made it a rule a few years ago that in 

 ordinary exhibits the anthers should not 

 be removed from lilies, and this restric- 

 tion has prevented one of the largest 

 market growers from exhibiting; the 

 manager explained to me that the blooms 

 would be practically valueless for market 

 if so shown. It is a practice wtth all 

 growers who send to Covent Garden mar- 

 ket to remove the anthers, and if any
