Mention The Review when you vrrita 



You know what liot Weatiier does to stock. Well, Milwaukee is well favored, 

 as we have no very hot weather here, and in consequence stock of all kinds is still in 

 good shape. Big cut of fancy Carnations, Roses and Giganteums. Try a few shipments 

 and be convinced.

ST. PAUL. 



The Market 



Spring trade in bedding plants was 

 one of the best on record and practically 

 all good stock was cleaned out by the 

 middle of June. 



In the cut flower line there has been a 

 good demand for work for weddings 

 and funerals, but at present business is 

 quiet. 



Variotts Note*. 



The Minnesota State Rose Society held 

 a successful flower exhibition in this city 

 June 25. It was too early for a large 

 display of roses, though some creditable 

 collections were seen, but there was an 

 abundance of good peonies, irises and 

 other seasonable perennials. In the pro- 

 fessional class the JeweU Nursery Co., 

 of Lake City, had the largest and best 

 display of roses. The Eose Hill Nur- 

 sery, of Minneapolis, had a fine collec- 

 tion of roses and the best display of 

 peonies. 



Friday, July 2, the Minnesota State 

 Florists' Association held a field day 

 meeting at the rose gardens at Lyndale 

 park, Minneapolis, and at the green- 

 houses. The rose garden, which was 

 planted a year ago, was at its best. 

 Supt. Wirth and his assistants deserve 

 much praise for this garden, which 

 aflfords a much needed object lesson for 

 the planters. After viewing the rose 

 garden a short business meeting was 

 held at the park greenhouses and refresh- 



ments dispensed to the thirsty attend- 

 ants. 



The picnic committee has arranged for 

 the first annual picnic of the Minnesota 

 State Florists' Association to be held at 

 Big Island Park, Minnetonka, July 15. 

 A full program of sports has been ar- 

 ranged and every one in the trade in 

 the state is invited to attend. Sports 

 are to begin promptly at 11 a. m.

DETROIT. 



The Market 



Conditions are unchanged. There is 

 so much stock of all kinds that there is 

 hardly vase room at the commission 

 houses. Carnations are falling off in 

 quality as the result of extremely hot 

 weather. Boses are plentiful; in some 

 cases too much so. Kaiserin is now com- 

 ing in and displacing Bride. Peonies 

 are rapidly nearing the end. The stock 

 now available is not to be compared with 

 that of some weeks ago. 



Various Notes. 



July 1 the Michigan Cut Flower Ex- 

 change began closing at 6 p. m. 



The flower stands in the Standard and 

 Brown's drug stores, conducted by C. 

 Hufford, have been closed for the sum- 

 mer months. 



A Mcent visit to the well appointed 

 establishment of Chas. Plumb found that 

 gentleman busy making poinsettia cut- 

 tings. Most of the mums were already 



planted and, if the present appearance 

 of the stock is any criterion, Mr. Plumb 

 will cut some fine blooms this fall. A 

 new range of about 10,000 feet of glass 

 is about ready for the bars. This addi- 

 tional glass will give room to double up 

 on the number of roses, chrysanthemums 

 and carnations grown. The new houses 

 will be devoted mostly to roses, of which 

 Killarney and White Killarney are al- 

 ready planted. All benches are solid, 

 with cement sides. A larger stock of 

 hydrangeas, ramblers, lilac, azaleas, etc., 

 will also be grown. Mr. Plumb is prob- 

 ably the only Detroit grower who uses a 

 special soil for bulbs and no doubt this 

 is one reason for his success in that line. 



J. F. Sullivan has made a carnation 

 sale at 25 cents per dozen a regular 

 feature every Saturday. 



Chas. "Warncke is one of the most 

 popular of the Elks in this city. He is 

 a member of our famous drill corps and 

 is now at Los Angeles, Cal., attending 

 the Elks' convention. From there he 

 will wend his way to Seattle before re- 

 turning home. 



July 1 M. P. Hurlburt went into oflBce 

 as park commissioner, having been ap- 

 pointed by Mayor Breitmeyer. Wm. 

 Dilger now is in charge of Belle Isle 

 only, Eobert Flowerday having charge 

 of the city parks and boulevards. 



Clyde Chase, of Schroeter's, has joined 

 the band attached to McKay's European 

 circus for the summer. 



Bruno Schroeter, Jr., is taking a sum- 

 mer course at Ann Arbor. H. S.
