MINNEAPOLIS. 



The Market 



Trade centers show but little activity 

 at present; there seems to be some diffi- 

 culty in getting stock to move. One 

 day, hot as a July day, opened the tulips 

 flat, and threw an immense lot of roses 

 on the market. Carnations are high and 

 scarce, none selling for much less than 

 $3.50. Harrisii, irises and sweet peas 

 help to drug the market. Peonies are 

 coming in now, but in few varieties. 



Various Notes. 



Mothers' day. May 9, was the occa- 

 sion of a great demand for white carna- 

 tions, and when these could not be got, 

 other white flowers were used. Some of 

 the department stores bought up a sup- 

 ply of carnations and sold them at 1^/^ 

 cents each, leaving an extremely small 

 margin for the floral stores to copy. 



E. Nagel & Co. are showing some ex- 

 cellent spring stock, and John Frieborg, 

 formerly of Iowa, now grower at this 

 place, finds business very satisfactory. 



Souden & Desmond have a good order 

 for the coming week, having secured the 

 bouquets for Miss Smith's wedding, call- 

 ing for rare flowers and choice arrange- 

 ments. 



O. C. Swanson will do the palm and 

 all the indoor decorating at the Smith 

 residence on Emerson avenue, which 

 promises to be a bower of beauty. 



E. A. Latham had a good dinner dec- 

 oration for 150 guests last week, at one 

 of the local clubs.

KALAMAZCX), MICH, 



The Central Michigan Nursery & Floral 

 Co. has just closed the largest spring 

 delivery in a number of years. 



G. Van Bochove & Bro. are erecting 

 four violet houses, each 22x300 feet. 

 These houses will be uniform in height 

 and general arrangement with the rest 

 of their now extensive range. 



E. W. Wells, for the last three years 

 in charge of the greenhouses of the 

 Central Floral Co., has resigned to take 

 a position in Chicago. The firm and em- 

 ployees signified their esteem for him by 

 presenting to him an elegant watch 

 charm. G. L. P. 



Denison, Tex. — This ci.ty held a tag 

 day April 24, and by this means raised 

 $900 for the purpose of beautifying the 

 parks. The city commission has arranged 

 to add about $1,200 to that sum, and 

 the money will be expended chiefly in 

 the landscaping of Forest park, a four- 

 acre tract in the center of the city.
