The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



FSBRUABY 3, 1910. 



MINNEAPOLIS. 



The Market. 



Carnations and roses are quite scarce; 

 in fact, all stock is scarce, though the 

 demand is not great. Carnation day 

 probably caused a general holding back 

 until that day, and a rbsulting shortage 

 all over. Violets and Golden Spur are 

 about the most plentiful blooms on the 

 market. 



Various Notes. 



The growers of Easter plants are mak- 

 ing a fine showing of Easter lilies, and 

 the prospects are for some fine, healthy 

 plants, well developed. 



The department stores sold carnations 

 on January 29 for 18 cents per dozen. 



Rumor has it that ere long the man- 

 agement of the Lakewood Cemetery As- 

 sociation will be open to a good man, as 

 Mr. Smith intends to resign. M. E. M. 



LINCOLN, NEB, 



A meeting was held here January 19 

 to organize the florists of Nebraska into 

 a society for the general welfare of the 

 craft. A few of the florists are mem- 

 bers of the Nebraska State Horticultural 

 Society, but it seemed that they would 

 not attend its meetings or take as much 

 interest in it as they might. This led to 

 the organization of the Nebraska State 

 Florists' Society, as an auxiliary to the 

 Horticultural Society. 



The following oflScers were elected, to 

 serve one year: President, Irvih Fry, 

 Lincoln; vice-president, Louis Henderson, 

 Omaha; secretary, Edward Williams, 

 Grand Island; treasurer, Mr. Atkinson, 

 David City. Directors, C. H. Green, Fre- 

 mont; B. Simanton, Falls City, and Mr. 

 Dole, Beatrice. 



The by-laws and other preliminaries 

 were perfected. The annual meeting 

 win be held at Lincoln during the meet- 

 ing of the Horticultural Society. We be- 

 lieve that florists generally throughout 

 the state will take hold and push, so that 

 in the near future we will be heard from. 



Edward -Williams. 



Stoopville, Pa. — Mrs. Rachel C. Allen, 

 who formerly conducted a flower store 

 here, has gone out of the business. 



MoEGANTOWN, W. Va. — W. R. P. Stew- 

 art had a fine crop of carnations at the 

 end of January and advertised in the 

 local paper to sell boutonnieres for Mc- 

 Kinley day at 5 cents each. It brought 

 quite a run of business. His regular price 

 for carnations the year around is 75 

 cents per dozen. He attended the carna- 

 tion convention at Pittsburg January 27.
