MINNEAPOLIS. 



The Market. 



Indian summer weather prevailed last 

 week and, as is usual with unseasonably 

 fine weather, there was little demand for 

 flowers and, in accordance with all prece- 

 dents, there was an immense amount of 

 stock on the market. Fine large mums, 

 usually bringing $3 to $4 per dozen, sold 

 for 8 cents each. Eoses could be had 

 at any price, and even carnations were 

 not reported short of the demand. 



Varioai Notes. 



The park board's annual chrysanthe- 

 mum show opened Sunday morning, No- 

 vember 7, in their greenhouses at Bryant 

 avenue south and Thirty-eighth street. 

 The display, comprising about 1,200 

 plants, occupies two greenhouses; the 

 larger varieties are in one house and the 

 smaller varieties in the other. Louis 

 Boeglin says the display is much better 

 than last year, and comprises a value of 

 about $1,000, all stock being grown by 

 the park board. Among the new varie- 

 ties exhibited is Queen of Japan, a thin 

 petaled bloom, unlike any other variety. 

 The show will continue daily for two 

 weeks, from 9 a. m. to 5 p. m. 



O. C. Swanson has had a busy week, 

 despite the general depression. Eecep- 

 tions, etc., have kept him busy and de- 

 pleted his daily stock. 



William Gray is now with James 

 Souden. M. E. M. 



McCOOK, NEB. 



Martch & Johnson have bought the 

 range of houses formerly known as the 

 McCook Greenhouses and owned and 

 operated by L. M. Best. They comprise 

 about 6,000 square feet of glass. 



Mr. Best has been in the railroad serv- 

 ice since he wu ' hoy, and for many 

 years has been one o^ the Burlington's 

 conductors between McCook, Neb., and 

 Denver, Colo. He has resigned his posi- 

 tion with the Burlington and, like many 

 others, has gone to seek his fortune in 

 the northwest. He has bought a few 

 acres of land just outside the city limits 

 at Sheridan, Wyo., and has let the con- 

 tract for four modern greenhouses, each 

 25x100 feet. He was always a great 

 lover of flowers. He made his first start 

 as a florist seven years ago, and soon 

 built up a splendid business. He was 

 also 'elected superintendent of city 

 parks, which position he filled to the sat- 

 isfaction f>f all. M. & J.

Nephrolepis Eiegantissima Compacta 



Anotber New Fern OrlKinatinB witb us To be introduced fall 1900 



Of all the valuable introductiona in ferns that we have sent out, beginning with the Pierson 

 (Nephrolepis Pierflonl). we consider the Eleeantisslm* compacta the most valuable of 

 all, partlcalarly from a commercial standpoint. 



While this resembles Eiegantissima in a general way, It is far suoerlor to that variety on 

 account of Its perfect habit. Vet it can hardiv be compared with Elesantissima in a general 

 way, because it occupies a place by itself and is as distinct from ElegantissUna as that variety 

 is from Plersonl-in fact, it bears the same relation to Eiegantissima that Scottii does to 

 Bostoniensls. BleK»iiti«ilma compacta has an Ideal habit. The fronds are considerably 

 shorter than those or Eiegantissima, and it is a more compact plant. It throws a great many 

 more crowns naturally, making a very bushy, dwarf, compact plant. The difference between 

 the two varietiea may be seen at a glance. 



Pine, strong plants, 2'4-ln. pots, tfi.oo per doz.. 938.00 per 100; 4-in. pots, $7.80 per doz., 

 fSO.OO per 100; 6-in. pans, fl.BO each; 8 in. pans, $3.00 each. 



We make a specialty of all kinds of Nephrolepis, carrying a large stock of all sizes a all 

 tlmes-Plersonl, Eiegantissima, Superblssima, Bostoniensls, Scottii, Whltmani, Amerpohlii, etc.
