Peerless Pink 



The great Peerless Leade r 

 of ALL Carnations 



More profits from Peerless than any other. Seven and one-half blooms per plant, October 1 to January 1, at aver :,'e 

 of 3c equals 22^20 per plant— 12^c more than the cost of the plants, which is $100.00 per 1000. We allow you to try Mie 

 variety and pay for it January 1. Enchantress will not average more than three blooms per plant during the same time. 



Why grow varieties that do not pay you good profits? You cannot make a mistake. We guarantee Peerless to be ,11 

 we claim for it or it will not cost you anything. Clean, healthy plants, $12.00 per 100, $100.00 per lOOO.

The Market. 



Business last week was stimulated 

 considerably by funeral work. Nearly 

 all retailers aiA. pleased with the sum- 

 mer business. Stock is good, especially 

 the outside stock. The cool nights have 

 kept the plants in excellent shape. The 

 reopening of Bobert street has helped 

 the retailers, as most of the stores have 

 had reopenings, and these called for 

 plants and in many instances for cut 

 flowers. 



Varions Notes. 



Holm & Olson have their place torn 

 up at present. The large show-box in 

 the front of the store is being relined 

 and generally overhauled. This firm 

 is well satisfied with business. 



L. L. May & Co. report business good 

 for the summer, and as this is vacation 

 time with them and some of the em- 

 ployees are away, the at-home crowd is 

 kept busy. Miss Middleton, of this 

 firm, has returned from her vacation, 

 which was spent in Chicago and on the 



1 olr AS 



The 0. B. Eckhardt Co. is busy with 

 out-of-the-city trade. The incoming 

 stock is plentiful and the quality is the 

 best. 



The Snelling Floral Co. has completed 

 the planting of the houses with violets 

 and a few mums to occupy the space in 

 the first part of the season. This firm 

 is well pleased with the plan of growing 

 only one variety of flowers and growing 

 them well. 



J. Hoffman reports business fine, con- 

 sisting principally of funeral work. This 

 firm has an excellent showing of novel- 

 ty baskets in the windows this week. 



N. C. Hanson's place is rapidly as- 

 suming a finished appearance and the 

 new houses are nearly all planted. 



Albert Clausen, of Albert Lea, Minn., 

 and J. Clarine, of Faribault, Minn., re- 

 cently spent a few days in this city. 

 E. E. Chappell, of Portland, Ore., was 

 a caller on his way to the coast. 



O. J. Olson and Le Boy Cady were St. 

 Paul representatives at the Boston con- 

 vention. C. B. F. 



AUSTIN, TEX. 



The flower growers south of Houston 

 have cut off our shipping trade in 

 daisies and tuberoses, at one time a 

 good daily business; hence, some of 

 the growers will abandon this line and 

 put their irrigated land in other crops. 



Olaf Olson's experiment in growing 

 carnations all summer under half glass 

 and in ground benches is a good success. 



W. M. Hall's lath-house grown gla- 

 dioli sell readily, though out of season 

 for this section. H. B. B.
