The Weekly Florists' Review. 



NOVEMBEB 14, 1907. 



ST. PAUL. 



The Market 



October trade •was the heaviest on rec- 

 ord. Early frosts cut down all outside 

 stock. The crop of debutantes was larg- 

 er than ever, while weddings and funer- 

 als helped to swell the totals in sales. 



There is an ample supply of good 

 stock coming in and the demand keeps 

 pace with it. Mums are the leaders, but 

 the larger portion are now gone and by 

 the end of the month there will be none 

 left. Carnations are of fair quality, 

 though rather short-stemmed and a little 

 soft for shipping. Violets and valley 

 have been in fair supply. Orchids have 

 sold well and the leading stores have to 

 keep a supply daily to meet the growing 

 demand. 



Paper "Whites are now on the market 

 and remind one of the winter months 

 so near at hand. 



Varioui Notes. 



At the Art Loan exhibition, held in 

 the Auditorium by the Ladies' Art Guild, 

 Holm & Olson won first prize for table 

 decorations with a centerpiece of cattle- 

 yas and Farleyense ferns, Mrs. A. S. 

 Swanson won the second prize with a 

 centerpiece of eucharis, cattleyas and 

 ferns. There were only two competitors. 

 The leading florists decorated the hall 

 free with wild smilax, palms and bay 

 trees. The festivities incident to the ex- 

 hibition closed with a Cinderella ball last 

 Tuesday evening. This event should cre- 

 ate a good demand for flowers. 



May & Co. are now occupying their 

 concrete warehouse on Como avenue. Next 

 spring they contemplate building a range 

 of greenhouses on the roof of the ware- 

 house. 



James Souden, who recently opened a 

 flower store on Sixth street, Minneapolis, 

 reports a very gratifying trade. 



Theo. Wirth, superintendent of parks, 

 Minneapolis, has issued an invitation to 

 the local trade to inspect the park 

 board's new greenhouses, at Thirty- 

 eighth street and Bryant avenue, on 

 Thursday next. 



O. J. Olson and J. Clausen, of Albert 

 Lea, are hunting moose in northern Min- 

 nesota. 



Eecent callers: Arnold Eingier and C. 

 W. Scott, of Chicago, both from the 

 woods and both talking greens.
