The Weekly Florists^ Review^ 



OCTOBEB 25, 1006. 



TWIN axiES. 



The Market 



Trade the past week is reported as 

 being good. The larger dealers have 

 had about all they could do both in a 

 social line and in funeral work. Soses 

 are in crop, and some fine blooms have 

 been cut. Killameys seem to be the 

 best. Some of our leading growers have 

 discarded the Maids for it. It is notice- 

 able that this variety has done excep- 

 tionally well with all of the growers. 

 Chatenays also are fine. Bichmonds are 

 not so good. We hope to get them 

 later on. The plants are strong and 

 the prospects are good for some good 

 cuts of perfect blooms within the next 

 few weeks. Kaiserin are good, and are 

 grown much more extensively this year 

 than last. Carnations are not good, 

 While the plants are perfectly clean, 

 there are few of them being cut. The 

 damp weather of the last few weeks 

 has kept them back considerably. Mums 

 are coming slowly. We have had but 

 few cut so far. The most are shipped in. 



St. Paul. 



A trip through the L. L. May & Co. 

 greenhouses finds their stock in the best 

 of condition. Their Killameys are a 

 sight worth seeing. The houses are a 

 mass of bud and bloom. They have 

 four houses planted in tliis one variety. 

 Their early varieties of chrysanthemums 

 will be in this week. 



The Swan Floral Co. keeps up an at- 

 tractive display and reports a good 

 trade. 



Holm & Olson are kept doubly busy 

 on account of moving, but report a sat- 

 isfactory week's business. 



H. Krinke & Son are cutting some 

 nice violets. 



Minneapolis. 



Rice Bros, are getting in some good 

 stock, and report an active market. 



The Minneapolis Floral Co. is cutting 

 some fine Moultons, but the other varie- 

 ties are off-crop. 



Amundson & Kirschner report a good 

 trade, but experience some difficulty in 

 getting good stock. Feux.
