The Weekly Florists^ Review. 



December 16, 1909. 



MINNEAPOLIS. 



The Market. 



Cold weather prevailed tlie whole of 

 last week, turning into a blustering snow 

 storm toward the last. Stock was set 

 back somewhat, but there is not much 

 demand yet for cut stock, though plants 

 are being shipped and spaced off to re- 

 tailers. There seems to be a great va- 

 riety oi fine blooming plants on the mar- 

 ket and the outlook for cut flowers is 

 good, with prices well up. 



Variotn Notes. 



The joint meeting of the Minnesota 

 Horticultural Society and the State Flo- 

 rists' Association, held at the Unitarian 

 church, Wednesday evening, December 

 8, was a good meeting and well attended, 

 especially by the Minneapolis florists. 

 Exhibits were made by Will Bros., L. S. 

 Donaldson Co., and Lakewood Cemetery 

 Greenhouse; the latter did not compete 

 for prizes. Awards were as follows: 

 Will Bros., first prizes for Richmond, 

 Killarney and White Killarney; L. S. 

 Donaldson Co., first prize for Brides- 

 maid; second prize for Eichmond. Pa- 

 pers were read, as follows : ' ' House 

 Plants and Their Care, " by A. J. Smith ; 

 "Outdoor Perennials," by Mr. Meyer; 

 "Spring Flowering Bulbs," by Aug. S. 

 Swanson. A great deal of business was 

 brought up, and the members expressed 

 themselves satisfied with the success of 

 the meeting. 



William Desmond is now manager of 

 the cut flower department of the L. S. 

 Donaldson Co., Mr. Schnell having re- 

 signed. 



William Topel is again with R. A. 

 Latham, preparing for the usual Christ- 

 mas rush. 



James Souden is making a fine window 

 display daily, and is showing a number 

 of artistic baskets. 



Miss Whitted finds business not to be 

 complained of, even during the present 

 lull. She had some good funeral work 

 lately. 



The Holland salesmen are upon us, and 

 every day brings familiar faces, as well 

 as some of the new adventurers. 



M. E. M. 



Portland, Me. — The E. J. Harmon Co. 

 has opened a store in the new Baxter 

 building. It is a spacious, handsomely 

 equipped store, and is said to be one of 

 the finest in the eastern .states. Miss 

 Mabel I. Hayes is one of the managers 

 of the new establishment. 



Gat.esburg, III. — The demand for 

 Pillsbury's carnation staple, placed on 

 the market by the Pillsburys of this city, 

 has necessitated the establishment of a 

 branch oflBce in Canada, and Walter 

 Pillsbury, son of I. L. Pillsbury, is now 

 in Windsor, Ont., superintending the 

 manufacture of them.
