Business last week could have been a 

 great deal better. The first part of the 

 week we had a decided change in the 

 weather. The temperature dropped to 

 10 degrees above zero and was accom- 

 panied by a cold, damp wind which, un- 

 doubtedly, kept the cut flower buyers at 

 home. 



Outside of funeral work there was 

 little doing until the latter part of the 

 week, when the cold spell passed over 

 and trade instantly took a brace. There 

 was then a decided demand for bulb 

 stock especially. Carnations were also 

 quite active. One of the dealers pla- 

 carded his windows, offering them at 35 

 cents per dozen, but none of the other 

 dealers fell in line. The general price 

 was 75 cents and $1 per dozen. It is 

 needless to say that the 35-cent variety 

 was a very inferior lot. 



The situation in roses has not changed 

 to any extent. We are still getting an 

 ample supply. The quality could be im- 

 proved upon with nearly all of the grow- 

 ers. Valley and violets are as good as 

 we have ever had; the demand is also 

 active. Practically all of the dealers are 

 carrying a small stock of Easter plants, 

 with the exception of Easter lilies. Fine 

 specimen plants of azaleas. Baby Ram- 

 blers and spiraeas are offered, but are 

 slow sale and it is a little too soon to 

 show them to secure orders for Easter. 

 The city inquiry for Easter stock is 

 light, while from the country points a 

 great many have been received. 



Minneapolis. 



The Powers Mercantile Co. reports a 

 satisfactory trade for last week, the de- 

 mand Saturday being especially strong 

 for medium priced carnations and roses. 

 It has also turned over a great many tu- 

 lips and daffodils. 



The Donaldson Co. continues to have 

 a heavy run on about everything in cut 

 flowers. Its prices are the same as 

 asked by the retail florists in general. 



The few bright days that we have had 

 have brought a little more competition. 

 The Greek candy stores have already 

 started to offer stock at reduced prices, 

 which takes some trade away from the 

 smaller dealers. 



Amundson & Kirschner show some at- 

 tractive windows of bulb stock and car- 

 nations. Business, they say, has been 

 good. 



Our wire worker, Mr. Kusik, has gone 

 into the florists' supply line, under the 

 name of Kusik, Gerstmann & Co. The 

 general impression is that there is a good 

 opening here and, if properly conducted, 

 a good trade can be worked up.
