The Weekly Florists' Review* 



October 14, U)09. 



supply coming in hardly meets the de- 

 mand. Some good White Enchantress 

 and Enchantress are seen. 



All outdoor flowers received their 

 death blow October 8, when a hard frost 

 put them out of the running for another 

 year. 



Chrysanthemums are now on the mar- 

 ket in somewhat limited quantities. The 

 demand is good and has kept up the 

 price. Some houses are showing some 

 good pot plants, which move fairly well. 



Violets are now in season and a limited 

 number are being picked, and are good. 

 Take it all in all, business has improved 

 since the coming of cool weather. 



Vacioos Notei. 



The Colorado Florists' Club meets 

 Thursday, October 14, at the store of the 

 Wholesale Florists' Co. Nominations of 

 oflBcers will take place. It is also to be 

 a social gathering, with refreshments and 

 a good time generally. 



T. Loken has opened a flower stand at 

 the Grand grocery, on Fifteenth street.

MINNEAPOLIS. 



The Market 



Roses! This was a city of roses last 

 week; roses of any variety and any 

 grade, cheap in the cheapest sense of 

 the word. And, owing to the unseason- 

 ably warm weather, there was no demand 

 for them. Carnations are scarcer than 

 ever and promise to be so for some weeks 

 to come. Dahlias are fine this fall, with 

 great, large, toppy blooms. Other stock 

 continues in good profusion and chrys- 

 anthemums are coming to the market in 

 all colors now, with first-class blooms and 

 foliage. 



Variouf Notes. 



Carl Lindskoog is thoroughly satisfied 

 with his extra store on Cedar avenue. 

 Business is good at both places, the de- 

 mand in the southern part of the city 

 being good. 



Wm. Desmond is back at the store, 

 feeling much benefited by the northern 

 climate. 



The Minneapolis Floral Co. has some 

 primroses coming into bloom, and is also 

 showing a fine stock of table ferns. 



Henry Kusik & Co. opened for business 

 October 7 and are surprised at the good 

 start, and the way orders came in. 



R. A. Latham had a good wedding dec- 

 oration last week, using for the most 

 part outdoor flowers. 



Wm. Topel and Mr. Giebel have 

 opened a retail flower store on the east 

 side, in the neighborhood of University 

 avenue. There appears to be a good 

 field for a store in this locality.

DAYTON, OHIO. 



The Market 



Business in the last two weeks has been 

 l)ooming, an extraordinary demand for 

 funeral designing being chiefly responsi- 

 ble for the spurt. While it is nice to 

 have a rushing business, still it is not 

 quite so nice when it is a diflScult matter 

 to get the stock you need. Everything 

 has been in good crop, and seemingly as 

 plentiful this season as in corresponding 

 seasons, but there has been so great a 

 demand that it has been an impossibility 

 to compete with it. We find that these 

 conditions are not only true in Dayton, 

 but in surrounding cities, which depend

chiefly upon Dayton for atock when their 

 own limited supply runs out. It has been 

 no easy task for the wholesaler to take 

 his orders, and a harder task for him to 

 fill them; and likewise the retailer has 

 had his trouble, for he never knew until 

 his order arrived how much he would be 

 short, or what he would get as a substi- 

 tute for that which he had ordered.
