The Weekly Florists' Review. 



May G, 1909. 



MINNEAPOLIS. 



The Markiet. 



The last two weeks have been restful 

 ones for the florist, as, owing to the bad 

 weather, there has been nothing doing in 

 cut flower or plant sales. Wc have been 

 having February weather, with snow and 

 frost every night, and any day that the 

 temperature went up, it rained. All this 

 may have its advantages in giving the 

 grower time to get his houses in shape 

 after the Easter ruslf, and put the spring 

 plaqts in line for the planting season, 

 about to begin. Stock is plentiful and 

 good. Smilax is scarce and high. Plants 

 are making a fine showing, and there is 

 a hope that, with propitious weather, 

 sales will be larger and better than ever. 



Various Notes. 



H. Barsch is planning to extend his 

 greenhouses this summer and make ex- 

 tensive repairs. 



John Monson made his first fishing trip 

 last week, but, owing to the weather, did 

 not have his usual success. He prom- 

 ises himself more extensive fishing than 

 ever this summer, when the rush is over. 



Miss Whitted has the fecord for quick 

 service last week. At 12:30 p. m. a call 

 from Minnetonka brought an order to be 

 in readiness for a luncheon there at 2 

 p. m. Although the train was gone, with 

 the aid of automobiles and trolley the 

 decoration Vas in place at 2 : 15. 



O. C. Swanaon had charge of the Part- 

 ridge-Dodge wedding decoration, one of 

 the most extensive jobs of the season. 

 Smilax, palms and boxwood formed tlie 

 basis, with masses of bloom throughout 

 the rooms. 



Visitors: S. B. Wertheimer, New 

 York city; F. Kindler, St. Cloud. 



Fulton, III. — Messrs. McKee, Preston 

 and Still will locate a new greenhouse at 

 this place. 



Haverhill, Mass. — Leith & McDon- 

 ald, of the Dustin Square Greenhouses, 

 have made arrangements to open a down- 

 town store. This business was founded 

 in 1889, by Frank W. Poor. The pres- 

 ent firm has five greenhouses, containing 

 15,000 square feet of glass, and special- 

 izes in carnations, but also grows a gen- 

 eral stock.
