The Weekly Florists' Review. 



July 20, 1909. 



MINNEAPOLIS. 



The Market. 



Minneapolis is enjoying the finest 

 weather on record, and about the only 

 excitement in florists' circles is just how 

 big a fish the other fellow caught. A 

 few wedding decorations and funerals 

 occasion some demand for flowers. Gar- 

 den stock is plentiful, but roses are 

 scarce.

 tion's bowling contest took place the 

 evening of July 23, at the Pfister alleys, 

 St. Paul. The following is a list of the

 Co., received the second individual prize, 

 and also the prize for the most strikes.

POMPON MUMS 



For the retail grower thifl claes of mums often proves more profitable 



than the large ones. They can be used in so many ways to advantage, where 



large bloome would be out of place. We have a fine lot of young plants 



ready to bench. Grow them in sprays, 12 to 15 sprays to the plant.
