The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



JULT 30, 1008. 



MINNEAPOLIS. 



The Market. 



The weather continues uncomfortably 

 warm, and the lack of rain is beginning 

 to make itself felt. Eoses run about 

 equal to the demand, but Brides and 

 Maids are badly mildewed. Carnations 

 are scarce and poor, and asters are tak- 

 ing their place rapidly. Lilies continue 

 to come into the market. The demand 

 has been good for these, as there were 

 a number of funerals in town last month. 

 Beauties are not to be had in town, 

 and orchids are scarce. 



Various Notes. 



A number of the florists are talking 

 about taking in the convention at Ni- 

 agara Falls, but it is not quite decided 

 yet just who will go. 



Eice Bros, find business excellent, 

 with stock about equal to the demand, 

 but not enough carnations. 



E. Nagel & Co. are again making ex- 

 tensive repairs on their plant this sum- 

 mer, reglazing and rebuilding the houses' 

 not repaired last year. 



H. Barsch is building over his houses, 

 and has built a small new house. 



Visitors: J. F. Wilcox, Council Bluffs, 

 la.: D. U. Augspurger, Peoria, HI.

GOSHEN, IND. 



The Colonial Flower Shop moved July 

 20 to its future home in the new brick 

 building at the corner of Jefferson and 

 Main streets. The building is one of 

 the most artistic in the city. As befits 

 the name of the establishment, both the 

 exterior and interior carry out the colo- 

 nial idea, the colors in decorating being 

 yellow and white, while the ceiling is 

 paneled in mission design. The ice-box 

 has been rebuilt, having a show win- 

 dow in the center, with plate glass mir- 

 rors on the top and sides. Mission fur- 

 niture will be used and new white show 

 cases will be installed. A basement the 

 size of the building is used for sup- 

 plies and the heating plant for the store 

 and conservatory. 



Miss Dora Brown, the proprietor, is 

 expecting a carload of material from 

 Chicago for the new conservatory, to b© 

 built just south of the new building as 

 soon as the old store is removed. 



Corning, N. Y. — The Corning Floral 

 Co., a newly organized north side firm, 

 in which F. H. Starr, of this place, and 

 Eugene M. Dusinberre, of Geneva, are 

 interested, has purchased of W. J. Che- 

 ney the greenhouses on West Pultney 

 street and removed to that location,
