The Weekly Florists' JRcvietv. 



Januabt 7, 1009. 



ST. PAUL. 



The Market. 



With ideal weather prevailing, holiday 

 trade was the best on record. One no- 

 ticeable feature was the increased sale 

 of plants. Well grown poinsettias in 

 pans went on sight. Cyclamens well 

 filled with flowers made a great hit. 

 Azaleas were in good demand and well 

 filled baskets sold remarkably well. 



The high price of cut flowers diverted 

 many a good order to the plant section. 

 In cut flowers, carnations really took the 

 lead. Violets were also popular, while 

 the interest in cut poinsettias at $6 per 

 dozen seemed to be perceptibly smaller 

 than last year. American Beauties sold 

 well; $20 per dozen at retail seemed to 

 be the top notch price. Sales averaged 

 larger than ever before and there were 

 fewer complaints on account of frozen 

 stock. Ideal conditions prevailed all the 

 week, and this new year will have to "go 

 some" to beat last year's record. 



Various Notes. 



All florists in the state are invited to 

 the annual meeting of the State Agri- 

 cultural Society, at the fair grounds, this 

 city, January 12 at 8 p. m. Aug. S. 

 Swanson has prepared a paper to be read 

 at that meeting. 



J. J. Karins, of Henry H. Dreer, Inc., 

 was a caller during the week, on his way 

 to the Pacific coast. Other callers were: 

 A. N. Kinsman, of Austin; G. A. Clau- 

 sen, of Albert Lea, and W. H. Hart, of 

 Owatonna. X. Y. Z. 



MINNEAPOLIS. 



The Market 



The old year went out sharp and cold 

 and the inroads on the coal bins made 

 the grower wonder where his holiday 

 profits were going to. Stock continues 

 plentiful and good. Prices kept up for 

 New Year's, though the demand was not 

 nearly so great as at Christmas. Bulbous 

 stock is well on the market now and is 

 not as short as in recent years. The de- 

 mand for plants seems greater this year 

 than in previous seasons. 



Various Notes. 



Miss Whitted had a number of bou- 

 quets for New Year's eve, and though 

 she was handicapped by an accident to 

 the auto delivery, orders were got out 

 and business was good. 



Eice Bros, find out-of-town trade first- 

 class, and stock plentiful. 



C. Johnson, of the Powers Mercan- 

 tile Co., revels in new fixtures for his 

 flower department. 



The Minneapolis Floral Co. is cutting 

 some excellent violets. M. E. M.

 quantities by H. W. Field, Northamoton, Mass., 

 has proved to be an acquisition for the average 

 grower. It is early, extremely free, resembles 

 Mrs. T. W. Lawson In color, and a continuous 

 bloomer. Worthy of trial by all.
