The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



July 23, 1908. 



MINNEAPOLIS. 



State of Business. 



Last week was holiday week. The 

 Shriners' convention in St. Paul over- 

 flowed in equal numbers to this city, and 

 festivities held the day. A few good 

 decorations were secured and the conven- 

 tion occasioned some social events calling 

 for cut flower decorations. Roses have 

 been almost impossible to get, good, bad 

 or indifferent. Carnations are scarce and 

 deteriorating in quality. Asters are mak- 

 ing their appearance and promise to be 

 good. Gladioli and sweet peas stand for 

 the outdoor showing. Speciosum lilies 

 are in the market and are a great help 

 in the scarcity of flowers. 



Various Notes. 



Miss Whitted secured a number of 

 Zuhrah decorations, in which she used 

 baskets of lilies, gladioli and roses. She 

 also had the decoration of the Zuhrah 

 room at the Ryan hotel, St. Paul, and 

 a number of decorations at the Lafay- 

 ette club. 



James Souden put in a fine plant deco- 

 ration at the Masonic temple through- 

 out the week. He also had a good wed- 

 ding decoration the middle of the week. 



George S. Murtfeldt has closed his 

 flower store for the summer. 



W. W. Seekins, Duluth, was a visitor 

 last week. M. E. M. 



TOLEDO, OHIO. 



State of Trade. 



With few exceptions, reports on gen- 

 eral conditions among the local florists 

 are favorable. During last week nearly 

 everyone was busy. A number of parties 

 at both the country and yacht clubs 

 helped out. 



Stock is plentiful. The gladioli, asters 

 and lilies are of good quality, and there 

 is an abundance of them. The steady 

 demand keeps stock moving, and there 

 appears to be no trouble caused by the 

 excessive beat. 



Various Notes. 



Miss Helen Patten is back from a trip 

 to Atlantic City and New York. While 

 in New York, Miss Patten called on the 

 leading florists and dealers, bringing 

 with her some valuable information and 

 new designs. 



Noticeable among the decorations of 

 the Secor, a new hotel which will be 

 opened August 1, are the table decora- 

 tions in the cafe, furnished by George 

 Heinl. They are the well-known air 

 plants. 



George Bayer is furnishing a good 

 many of the Toledo florists with asters. 



Mrs. Suder has an abundance of Lilium 

 auratum, Harrisii and roseum, which are 

 of excellent quality. H- L. S. 



Dover, N. H. — Jesse Arlin returned re- 

 cently from York Harbor and York 

 Beach, where he had been doing a suc- 

 cessful business during the last month 

 for C. L. Howe, of this city. 



Providence, B. I. — Alexandw John- 

 son, a son of George Johnson, at 521 

 Elmwood avenue, has been appointed as 

 city forester. Mr. Johnson is well 

 equipped for the duties of this position, 

 since he is not only a practical and well 

 informed florist, but has already had 

 about a year's experience in caring for 

 the city's shade trees and shrubbery, 

 under the direction of the commissioner 

 of public works.
