The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



Januabt 30, 1008. 



ST. PAUL. 



The Market 



Trade has been active since the holi- 

 days, the leading stores reporting a for- 

 ty-five per cent increase in sales over last 

 January. Stock has been of good qual- 

 ity, -with the supply about equal to the 

 demand. An unusual demand the last 

 week for funeral flowers has nearly ex- 

 hausted the supply of white flowers. Vio- 

 lets are in oversupply and of most excel- 

 lent quality. Some fine tulips and Golden 

 Spur daffodils are coming in. 



Club Meeting. 



The first regular meeting of the club 

 was held January 21, at Holm & Olson's 

 store. There were about seventy in at- 

 tendance and an interesting meeting was 

 held. Mr. Nagel read an interesting paper 

 on "Bedding and Bedding Plants," 

 which was freely discussed by several. 

 This led to a question of prices and a 

 committee was appointed to fix prices for 

 the coming season. The advisability of 

 holding a flower show next fall will also 

 be decided by a committee named for 

 that purpose. 



At the next meeting the subject of 

 bulbs will be open for general discus- 

 sion. The name of the club is the Twin 

 Cities Florists ' and Gardeners ' Club, and 

 the next meeting will be held at the City 

 park greenhouses, Thirty-eighth street 

 and Bryant avenue, Minneapolis, Tuesday 

 evening, February 18. 



Various Notes. 



Holm & Olson have some extra fine 

 long-stemmed white sweet peas, with 

 real apple blossom fragrance. Such stock 

 sells quickly. They had the decorations 

 and bouquets for the recent Hill-Barrows 

 wedding and used several hundred white 

 orchids for the occasion. 



The traveling fraternity are moving 

 freely since the first of the year. We 

 recall the following as they flitted by, 

 among many others: B. Eschner, of M. 

 Rice & Co.; Allister Currie, of Currie 

 Bros.; Arnold Ringier and C. W, Scott, 

 of Chicago; Wm. Hagemann and Mr. 

 Knickman, of New York, and a dozen or 

 more Holland bulb men. 



P. Holm returned January 19 from a 

 two weeks' trip in the east and has since 

 been laid up with the grippe. 



A. N. Kinsman, of Austin, was a re- 

 cent caller. He is planning to build three 

 more rose houses the coming spring. 



Theo. Wirth, superintendent of parks, 

 Minneapolis, is another grippe victim, but 

 is convalescing, we understand. 



G. A, Carlsen, of Albert Lea; Neil 

 Neilson, of Mankato, and John Larson, 

 of Red Wing, were recent callers.

Horticultural Society. 



Tlie regular meeting of the Lenox Hor- 

 ticultural Society was held January 18, 

 with President Jack in the chair. Percy 

 Ellings was unanimously elected a mem- 

 ber of the society. The schedules for the 

 August and fall exhibitions were ap- 

 proved as read. S. Carlquist was awarded 

 a aiploma for a fine vase of Celsia Arc- 

 tarus. 



The annual banquet of the society will 

 be held at the Curtis hotel February 15, 

 and promises to excel anything ever held 

 by the society.

ball was held in the town hall January 

 22. This event is always looked upon by 

 the people of Lenox as one of the chief 

 attractions of the winter season, and this 

 proved to be no exception to the rule, as 

 there were fully 200 couples participat- 

 ing in a very enjoyable evening. The 

 committee of arrangements, of which H. 

 P. Woolsey was chairman, is to be com- 

 gratulated upon the social and financial 

 success attending its efforts.

 business has been good right along, both 

 cut flowers and pot plants selling well, 

 with a good call for funeral work. He 

 looks for a fine spring trade.
