The Weekly Florists' Review* 



July 15, 1909. 



Mount Desert Nurseries. A machine 

 house is to be built, across the road from 

 the greenhouses, near the pond. Power 

 will be installed and a grindstone, lathe 

 and saws run. Here in the winter men 

 will be employed to make boxes and 

 markers, and the engine will also be 

 utilized to pump water from the pond to 

 supply a part of the irrigation system. 

 Three other small pumps are to be in- 

 stalled for this last named purpose, in as 

 many sections of the grounds; and a 

 large engine will be set up to take care 

 of the main supply, making the nurseries 

 independent of the water company. The 

 water will come from the muck swamp 

 so called, and the muck from this swamp 

 will be dredged and used or sold. The 

 swamp will be dammed so that a water 

 acreage of about twelve acres will be 

 available. 



The roads in the nursery are to be 

 named and marked, for the convenience 

 of visitors in finding their way about 

 and for giving directions to others for 

 finding readily any special section or 

 group. The nurseries, interesting as 

 they are at present, are destined to be- 

 come even more valuable and attractive 

 if all the contemplated changes are ef- 

 fected. 



MINNEAPOLIS. 



The Market. 



Midsummer quiet has struck the city, 

 and the florists' business suffers in con- 

 sequence. Outdoor stock is beginning to 

 bloom, and the sales are not large, ex- 

 cept now and then for a few funerals or 

 weddings. Stock is scarce, roses small, 

 and carnations falling off every day. 

 Gladioli and asters are on the market in 

 suflBcient quantities. 



Various Notes. 



O. C. Swanson and his family are 

 spending a few days at Red Wing. 



Miss Whitted had two large funerals, 

 occasioning a number of fine, good-sized 

 designs. 



The Minneapolis Floral Co. is cutting 

 some- asters and some nice Kaiserin. 



Oscar Carlson is putting some fine 

 roses on the market every day. 



The Minnesota State Florists' Associa- 

 tion holds its annual picnic at Big Island 

 Park this week, July 15. 



The parks of the city are in full splen- 

 dor at present. A number of begonia 

 beds make a fine blaze of color along the 

 border of the lake. M. E. M. 



LEXINGTON, KY. 



The Market. 



Business is slow and there is nothing 

 doing at the downtown stores. Eoses, 

 carnations and sweet peas are poor in 

 quality. Some good gladioli and snap- 

 dragons are coming to this market. A 

 few tuberoses are to be seen every now 

 and then, and other outdoor flowers are 

 abundant. Green goods are in good sup- 

 ply. 



Various Notes. 



The boys at the J. A. Keller estate are 

 now extremely busy planting chrysanthe- 

 mums and roses. 



Mr. and Mrs. David Honaker are vis- 

 iting friends and relatives in St. Louis, 

 Mo. 



The Miehler Bros. Co. will erect a 

 house this summer for general stock. 



Anderson & White are busy with chrys- 

 yntli^nnims at their place on Georgetown

Dear Sirs:— If your trap cost ten times what you ask for it, it would be cheap when 

 time. labor and coRt of repairs are considered, in comparison with the steam pump I had 

 installed before eetting your trap. 



I cannot praise it too hisbly and I recommend it to everybody who talks steam. 



Yours truly, (Signed) F. W. Meters. Prop., Riverside Greenhouses.

The Standard

 florist, because it is durable and 

 does its work without trouble and 

 annoyance, saving its cost by the 

 economy in coal bills.
