The Weekly Florists' Review. 



Febrdaby 25, 1909. 



ST. PAUL. 



The Market 



Valentine 's day created, a good demand 

 for flowers and everyone was busy. 

 There was an active sale of violets, with 

 an abundance of stock to supply «11 de- 

 mands. There was also a good call for 

 red roses and carnations. Several wed- 

 dings and a number of receptions and 

 parties kept the leading stores quite busy 

 last week. 



Florists' BalL 



Tlie Minnesota State Florists' Associa- 

 tion gave its midwinter ball at U. C. T. 

 hall, this city, February 15. About 175 

 people were present and the time was 

 pleasantly spent by all. The weather, 

 the music, the floor, the refreshments and 

 all appointments were ideal, and the 

 affair was the most successful social 

 event ever held in the Twin Cities. The 

 arrangements were in the hands of O. J. 

 Olson, L. K. Cady and T. W. Nagel, who 

 deserve much praise for the success of 

 the affair. X. Y. Z. 



SPRINGFIELD, MASS. . 



Mark Aitken, of Springfield, Mass., 

 lias secured the fine location recently oc- 

 cupied by W. L. Lewis, at Worcester, 

 and has placed his artist, Carl Meacham, 

 in charge. Mr. Meacham has had many 

 years of excellent training under Mr. Ait- 

 ken and will make good in his new posi- 

 tion of trust. 



William Schlatter & Son, of Spring- 

 field, Mass., are planning for three addi- 

 tional houses, 25x123, for cut flowers, to 

 supply their increasing demand. Last 

 summer both members of this hustling 

 firm made a trip to Europe. It was for- 

 ty-three years since William, Sr., had cast 

 eyes on the old soil, and William, Jr., 

 was kept busy listening to the oft spoken 

 remark of "How things have changed!" 

 Now the senior William has the traveling 

 fever. It is strange how many of our 

 old friends, when once they get started, 

 are loath to settle again. 



J. W. Adams & Co., of Springfield, 

 Mass., report a very satisfactory business 

 in the nursery department. 



Attica, Ind. — J. B. Klaws, formerly 

 of Crawfordsville, is now grower for the 

 Attica Floral Co. 



Aurora, III. — The Aurora Greenhouse 

 Co.. which recently opened a downtown 

 retail store, reports a good season. 



East Bridgewater, Mass. — .]. K. 

 Alexander, who last season grew niorc 

 than 500,000 dahlia plants, covering 

 nearly twenty-two acres, has lately pur- 

 chased a 39-acre tract almost adjoining 

 his present farm. He expects to plant 

 about twenty acres of this new ground 

 the coming season, in addition to the old 

 field. He will make a large showing at 

 the Alaska- Yukon-Pacific exposition in 

 Seattle, Wash., this year.
