MINNEAPOLIS, MINN. 



.Judging from recent developments, 

 this city seems likely to be able to carry 

 into effect the resolution, as expressed 

 by some of its citizens, to be as worthy 

 before long to bear the name Flower 

 City as it now is to bear the name 

 Flour City. Adopting the successful 

 downtown decoration scheme for the 

 Civic Celebration last year, the Minne- 

 apolis Garden Club has planned a pro- 

 gram which will seek to place in the 

 windows and about the entrances of 

 downtown stores and office buildings 

 miniature gardens of trees, vines and 

 flowers. A committee of the club, 

 headed by Mac Martin, has been work- 

 ing on the plan since early in the 

 winter. 



As a part of its work in advertising 

 and promoting this scheme, the Garden 

 Club recently published iji a local news- 

 paper an article which occupied about 

 three-quarters of H page, with several 

 attractive pictures showing the plant 

 adornment of some of the city's build- 

 ings last summer. "The Garden Club," 

 says this article, "contemplates making 

 the downtown window garden feature 

 an important part of its work this year 

 and in succeeding years. Committee- 

 men report that hundreds of feet of 

 flower decorations have been ordered 

 already. Ten florists have been pro- 

 cured, equipped to undertake the work 

 of furnishing greenery with which to 

 beautify office buildings. Business men 

 of the city, it is said, are practically 

 a unit behind the movement." 



The ten firms of florists referred to, 

 as being enlisted in the movement, are 

 named in the article. They are as fol- 

 lows: O. H. Carlson, Central Floral 

 Co., East Side Floral Co., Hiawatha 

 Gardens Co., R. A. Latham, Merriam 

 Park Floral Co., Minneapolis Floral 

 Co., E. Nagel & Son, Hans Kosacker 

 and Will Bros. Co. 



Middlebush, N. J.— Edouard C. Mat- 

 thes, formerly at Woodside, Flushing, 

 N. Y., is now in business here. 



Bochester, Minn. — Fuhlbruegge 's new 

 flower store was opened May 3 with an 

 attendance of more than 1,000 per- 

 sons, according to Manager Barclay.
