MINNEAPOLIS. 



Last week being state fair week, gave 

 the roses time to catch up to the demand, 

 and as a result, today there is a pretty 

 good crop moving in town. A couple of 

 days of warm weather and sunshine 

 brought the buds out in short order. 



Quite a lot of interest was shown in 

 the state fair exhibits this year. There 

 was more competition, and a greater 

 number of florists went into the contest 

 than any year before. The members of 

 the horticultural society were well 

 pleased, and next year it is to be hoped 

 there will be better awards. 



Easter lilies and auratum are being 

 shown, and were used to good advantage 

 in some of the work last week. A couple

The Market 



A week of poor business has just 

 passed. The demand was erratic and at 

 the best was nothing to speak of. The 

 store men reported nothing doing and so 

 they bought only what they had to have. 

 As it happened, too, there was a large 

 cut of flowers coming in, and this, with 

 poor business, meant considerable waste. 

 Saturday brought a little relief. Con- 

 siderable funeral work had been booked 

 by the retail stores for Monday, and they 

 bought heavily. This eased up things 

 a little, and by Saturday evening the mar- 

 ket was fairly well cleaned up. Sunday, 

 also, brought forth a good demand and, 

 with several large funerals in prospect 

 for this week, we ought to have a good 

 business to make up in part for last 

 week. 



You could get about every variety of 

 flower you wanted. Eoses are coming 

 rather strongly. The quality of the stock 

 is improving rapidly, too. The week 

 of cool weather has helped them greatly. 

 Beauties are in good supply. The de- 

 mand for them, while poor last week, 

 gives promise of using all that we get 

 this week. The increased supply dropped 

 the price somewhat, but it averaged fair 

 even then. Carnations are coming in 

 larger quantities, but the quality is still 

 poor and they do not keep well. The

cool nights we are having now ought to 

 do them worlds of good. I hear predic- 

 tions of a poor carnation crop this year. 

 We have certainly had the driest summer 

 in years. It was wretched weather in 

 which to lift carnations and many grow- 

 ers report the stock in pitiful condition. 

 It is still too early to judge how it will 

 turn out, though. One thing is certain — 

 wc need rain and need it badlv. We
