MINNEAPOLIS. 



The Market. 



Business conditions are above the 

 average for this time of year, with wed- 

 dings, entertaining and graduations, 

 also a seeming desire of everyone to 

 have a few flowers in the home. 



The market seems to be flooded with 

 peonies, which never were larger or 

 more varied. 



Various Notes. 



The Merriam Park Floral Co. will 

 build one new house and repair three 

 old ones, and expects to be in good 

 shape before snow flies. Mr. Kaiser, of 

 this company, reports an extraordinary 

 demand for white flowers. 



Hans Eosacker is building a concrete 

 boiler room and installing a 100 horse- 

 power boiler to take care of all hisipres- 

 ent houses and those he anticipates 

 building. His violets are all in the 

 field, looking fine, and he considers it 

 much better than planting them in pots. 

 Mr. Eosacker has had a fairly good 

 demand for window boxes for the down- 

 town stores, but not what he expected, 

 owing, he believes, to the warm spell 

 immediately after filling last year, 

 which badly burned a great many. 



The regular monthly meeting of the 

 Minneapolis Florists' Club was held at 

 Eice Bros.' June 6, the attendance be- 

 ing smaller than usual. The subject 

 of a florists' picnic was generally dis- 

 cussed, and Mr. Desmond, the president, 

 suggested cooperating with the State 

 Florists' Association and having One 

 large affair. This will be decided at 

 the next meeting of the state associa- 

 tion. Mr. Eckhardt was a guest from 

 St. Paul. The members present spoke 

 highly of the success of advertising 

 Mothers' day by one large and attract- 

 ive ad in the daily papers. The spirit of 

 uniting seemed to nicely fit the occa- 

 sion. It was voted to extend thanks to 

 Mr. Halliday, of the L. S. Donaldson 

 Co., for his assistance in the advertising. 



The store formerly known as the 

 House of Flowers, in the Eadisson hotel, 

 has been purchased by Miss Whitted, 

 this making her third store, all centrally 

 located. 



The Hiawatha Gardens Co. is building 

 a new house at the Lyndale avenue 

 place, 42x155, for early mums and single 

 violets. This company is also building 

 a cold storage house at the University 

 avenue place for bulbs and hardy peren- 

 nials. This house will be large enough 

 . to care for 500,000 bulbs, and they ex- 

 pect to be much better able to handle 

 bulb stock this way. 



Eichard Stelling, formerly in charge 

 of the Hiawatha Gardens' Lyndale ave- 

 nue place, has gone to the Jewell Nurs- 

 ery Co., Lake City, and Max Horacek 

 will have charge in his stead. 



The flower department in the E. M. 

 Chapman-Basting new store is neat and 

 attractive, and quite out of the ordi- 

 nary. The cold storage system is prov- 

 ing decidedly satisfactory.
