The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



January 27, 1910. 



MINNEAPOLIS. 



The Market. 



* * Nothing doing, ' ' is the cry every- 

 where. There is no demand for flowers, 

 except occasionally for funeral work, but 

 stock is also scarce. Boses are at a 

 premium. Good daffodils and colored 

 tulips are rare, carnations and violets 

 being the only stock which is at all plen- 

 tiful. Sunshine favors the blooms, but 

 slush underfoot keeps the people indoors, 

 thereby decreasing transient business. 



Qub Meeting. 



The regular meeting of the Minnesota 

 State Florists' Association took place on 

 the evening of January 18, at the hall on 

 Snelling avenue. The meeting was well 

 attended and a little business was brought 

 up, the chrysanthemum show of next No- 

 vember being the chief subject under dis- 

 cussion. The final report of the commit- 

 tee will have to be in for the next meet- 

 ing, with the guarantee fund closed, and 

 then we will know what we have to work 

 on. The same committee was reappointed 

 to look into the betterment of conditions 

 at the state fair, namely, E. Nagel, Aug. 

 Swanson and T. Wirth, 



A committee was formed to appoint 

 delegates each year to the yearly meeting 

 of the State Horticultural Society. 



The florists' ball, scheduled for Febru- 

 ary 16, has been changed to February 7, 

 and will be held at the Arc Lodge hall, 

 Thirty-first street and First avenue south, 

 one of the finest and largest halls in the 

 city. M. E. M. 



The Minneapolis Market Gardeners' 

 Association held its midwinter picnic 

 January 22, in Masonic Temple. The 

 program was a most enjoyable one, in- 

 cluding moving pictures, music and speak- 

 ing in the afternoon, and a picnic supper 

 and dancing in the evening. 



Wabash, Ind. — The Northern Indiana 

 Association of Florists held its annual 

 convention in this city, January 19. The 

 members met in the Tremont hotel, as 

 the guests of J. D. Conner, of the Con- 

 ner-Ulsh Floral Co. John H. Shelton, of 

 Bochester, Ind.. who is the society's sec- 

 retary and treasurer, had arranged a 

 good program.
