The Weekly Florists' Review* 



Mabch 26, 1008. 



ST. PAUL. 



State of Trade. 



Favorable weather, abundant stock 

 and numerous shoppers combined to make 

 business good during the first two weeks 

 of the Lenten season. There has been a 

 heavy demand for funeral flowers, which 

 has kept down the poorer grades to nor- 

 mal proportions. There is no scarcity in 

 ^y lin^. The demand for green carna- 

 tions created quite a demand for white, 

 but shamrocks sold poorly and quite a 

 few hundred plants will be carried over 

 till next year. 



Various Notes. 



J. T. "Withers, of Jersey City, has been 

 giving a series of interesting and in- 

 structive talks on tree planting in our 

 sister city. He also gave an illustrated 

 talk at the last club meeting. 



The club met at Holm & Olson 's store, 

 Tuesday evening, March 17. Mr. Swan- 

 son, of the state fair committee, read an 

 interesting report. Jerry Jorgenson, 

 superintendent of the Donaldson green- 

 houses, Minneapolis, exhibited some 

 fancy Bride and Bridesmaid roses. 

 James Souden read an interesting article 

 on the retailer's Easter stock and Mr. 

 Jorgenson an able paper on the whole- 

 saler's stock, with particular reference to 

 the supply and prices in the Twin Cities. 



Theodore "Wirth has gone east to at- 

 tend a meeting of the directors of the 

 S. A. F., carrying with him several ap- 

 plications for life membership in the 

 society. 



Leeb & Co. is the firm name of the 

 latest florists' concern in the city. It is 

 located on Minnesota street, near Fifth, 

 and sells fruits and flowers. The mem- 

 bers of the firm were formerly employed 

 by E. F. Lemke. 



Holm & Olson are now a stock com- 

 pany under the style of Holm & Olson, 

 Incorporated. The authorized capital is 

 $75,000, of which $50,000 is common and 

 $25,000 guaranteed preferred stock. The 

 incorporators are Elof P. Holm, Olof J. 

 Olson and 8. D. Dysinger, all of St. Paul.

PITTSBURG. 



The Market 



The trade is working its way through 

 Lent in pretty good shape. All have 

 enough to do to keep them from getting 

 the blues. 



Stock is still plentiful, but everything 

 cleaned up nicely last week excepting 

 Beauties and violets. Prices, however, 

 were low and no doubt the growers will 

 feel they are getting very little for some 

 of the fine stock they are sending into 

 the market, but the commission men are 

 thankful it is no worse. 



Various Notes. 



The Florists' Club has another pl^nt 

 show listed for the next meeting, which 

 will be held at the store room of the 

 Pittsburg Cut Flower Co. 



J. B. Murdoch & Co. are getting some 

 fine roses from their own plant at Can- 

 onsburg. 



The Pittsburg Florists' Exchange re- 

 ports plenty of good stock of all kinds 

 and business showing some improvement 

 over the first part of the month. 



Mrs. E. A. Williams was compelled 

 to remove everything from the basement 

 of her store twice this month on account 

 of floods. 



H. L. Blind & Bros, are doing some
