The Market 



Dull trade the first week in December 

 is usually expected in our line. It was 

 rendered unusually dull for several days 

 last week by the sudden cold wave, ac- 

 companied by a strong west wind. Eoses 

 are a little off crop, while the end of 

 the mums is in sight, so that there has 

 been no surplus of any moment. 



Christmas trees and greens are already 

 in the market, so that the city is be- 

 ginning to put on its holiday appearance. 

 Some orders are being booked and in- 

 quiries are being freely made. Another 

 week will see the holiday business in full 

 swing. 



Various Notes. 



L. L. May & Co. threw open their re- 

 tail store to a church sale one day last 

 week. Aprons in the show window and 

 needlework on the counters looked 

 strangely out of place with roses, carna- 

 tions and violets. 



Holm & Olson had two large decora- 

 tions at the leading club last week. 

 Southern smilax and mums constituted 

 the bulk of the material. 



President Wirth, of the State Florists' 

 Association, announces that he has the 

 plans ready for the proposed floral build- 

 ing at the State Fair grounds. The 

 plans will be shown at the next meeting 

 of the association, to be held in the new 

 hall on Snelling avenue, near University, 

 on Tuesday, December 15. 



Cards received a few days ago an- 

 nounce the marriage of Otto A. Will, 

 of Will Bros., Minneapolis, and Miss 

 Florence Keeling, of Caldwell, Kan., De- 

 cember 2. His many friends in the trade 

 extend hearty congratulations. 



William Topel, formerly with E. A. 

 Latham, Minneapolis, is in charge of a 

 flower stand for Will Bros., in a local 

 department store. 



A. H. Bunde, one of the pioneers in the 

 business here, has succeeded the Capital 

 Floral Co., on Wabasha street. 



Visitors last week were as follows: 

 J. McHutchison, of New York; John 

 Tegelaar and John Guldemond, of Lisse, 

 Holland; T. Mellstrom, of New York, 

 representing Sander & Son, of Bruges, 

 Belgium, and St. Albans, England ; P. H. 

 Gerghegun, of Winterson's Seed Store, 

 and Frank Johnson, of A. L. Eandall Co., 

 Chicago. X. Y. Z.
