Cut flowers are bringing winter prices. 



Bedding plants as yet are selling only 

 slowly. 



The monthly meeting of the Elorists' 

 Club, held May 1, was an unusually good 

 one. All the first-class florists are now 

 enrolled. 



The Miami Floral Co. will add an- 

 other large house to its plant this sum- 

 mer. Some fine Eichmond and Beauty 

 have been shipped lately. 



The Advance Floral Co. will add one 

 house, 28x110, for carnations, also a 

 small house for violets, and another, 

 10x3G, for forcing bulbs, etc. Business 

 is showing a healthy increase over last 

 season. 



TWIN QTIES. 



The Market 



The weather the last week affected 

 business to a considerable extent. The 

 first few days trade was very fair, bu»^ 

 the heavy snowstorm the latter part of 

 the week shut off business entirely. Con- 

 sequently a great deal of stock is on hand 

 which is not altogether fresh. This will 

 affect the market to some extent, and it 

 is probable that roses especially will take 

 a drop. It is now warming up consid- 

 erably, so we may expect the street mer- 

 chants and the department stores to get 

 busy. The quality of the roses at the 

 present time could not very well be im- 

 proved, especially Eichmond and Killar- 

 ney. Special blooms are offered at from 

 $8 to $12 per hundred, which is as much 

 as they have brought at any time so far 

 this season. Brides and Maids are also 

 good, present quotations being from $G 

 to $8 per hundred. Carnations, home 

 grown, have dropped a little, selling at 

 $1.50 and $2 per hundred, while good 

 blooms from outside markets are billed 

 at $3 and $4 jier hundred. None of the 

 trade have experienced any difficulty in 

 getting good stock, and the retail prices 

 have kept up nicely. With the exception 

 of a few special sales, there has been no 

 tlisposition to lower prices. 



Planting season has been delayed to 

 some extent, on account of the heavy 

 snowfall ; also the trade that handle nurs- 

 ery stock have experienced a slight set- 

 back, as there has been no planting what- 

 ever done. 



St^PauL 



Colberg & Lemke have dissolved part- 

 nership. Mr. Lemke will continue the 

 business, while Gust Colberg will go with 

 Holm & Olson. 



It has been expected that the assets of 

 Bobort C. Seeger, consisting of a fine 

 ice-box, would be sold at auction, but on 

 account of Mr. Seeger filing a petition in 

 bankruptcy it is doubtful what action 

 the court will take. A number of the 

 florists appear to be interested and would 

 like to have the opportunity of bidding

 share equally witli the balance of the 

 creditors. 



C. F. Vogt reports a heavy business 

 the last week and a heavy demand for 

 nursery stock, which he intends handling 

 quite extensively. 



Holm & Olson are advertising land- 

 scape work extensively. They have em- 

 ployed a landscape man to look after 

 that department and they are also doing 

 something in the nursery line. Cut flower 

 trade, especially funeral work, they re- 

 port as hea\y. 



L. L. May & Co. lia<l a lieavy week, 

 funeral work appearing to be the main 

 issue. The retail seed business opened 

 up in good shape, but the snowstorm put 

 a damper on it for a few days. Their 

 retail department has been crowded with 

 seed buyers for the last two weeks. The 

 nursery deliveries are now on in full 

 blast and they expect these to be finished

up this week. With the aid of their new 

 warehouse, which was built this winter, 

 they are now in a position to do all their 

 packing indoors. Cars are run through 

 the warehouse and loaded. It is possibly 

 the largest warehouse in the northwest 

 for that kind of work, the dimensions 

 being 150x200 feet, and it was built at 

 an expense of $10,000. Felix.
