HENRY A. DREER, 714 Chestoot Street, Philadelphia, Pa. 



MINNEAPOLIS. 



The Market 



The continued warm weather has kept 

 business at a standstill, though there is 

 evidence of the coming fall business in 

 the gossip about town and retailers are 

 busily looking up stock. "When the ther- 

 mometer registers 92 in the shade in the 

 middle of September in this climate, we 

 are prepared for abnormal conditions in 

 business. But the first frost will kill the 

 outdoor product, and the people will flock 

 to the greenhouses. 



Eoses are plentiful, in some cases show- 

 ing mildew, but in general very good. 

 Carnations are coming in, and selling at 

 from .$2 to .$2.50. Lilies, rubrums, Har- 

 risii and auratum are plentiful. 



Various Notes. 



The first monthly meeting of the Min- 



%sota State Florists' Association was 



held at Columbia hall, Merriam Park, 



September 15, at 8 p. m. The meeting 



was not very well attended, but it is to 

 be hoped that, as the season advances, 

 more interest will be manifested. 



Rice Bros, report business picking up, 

 and the out-of-town shipping notably in- 

 creasing. Wild smilax is in now in good 

 quantities. 



The Minneapolis Floral Co. has a good 

 crop of roses and lilies, and some good 

 white and Enchantress carnations com- 

 ing. 



Visitors: E. M. Sherman, Charles City, 

 la.; Frank Kindler, St. Cloud, Minn.; 

 W. C. Johnson, representing E. H. Hunt, 

 Chicago. M. E. M. 



Columbus, O. — William H. Dickinson,

 cupied by Wheeler's grocery, for a term 

 of five years and will remodel it.

 he says that in the retail way his busi- 

 ness is good — far ahead of what he ex- 

 pected — and that a few of the trade have 

 found him out. He has this season issued 

 his first catalogue, which shows one of 

 the largest lines of hardy plants carried 

 by any nursery in this country.
