The Florists^ Review 



July 18, 191: 



MINNEAPOLIS^ MINN. 



The Market. 



The weather last week, except Fri- 

 day, was ideal; garden flowers every- 

 where were at their best and, although 

 business was quiet, there was not the 

 "absolutely nothing doing" atmos- 

 phere of the extremely warm week 

 preceding. There was a large amount 

 of funeral work and some little enter- 

 taining. 



Various Notes. 



Friday's terrific storm raised" havoc 

 all over the city, doing about $50,000 

 damage. An immense plate glass, win- 

 dow in front of the flower department 

 in the new store of the E. M. Chap- 

 man-Basting Co. blew out, as well as 

 several others in the downtown dis- 

 trict. The Hiawatha Gardens Co. had 

 200 lights broken at their University 

 and Bedford avenue place. The Minne- 

 apolis Floral Co. had 1,000 lights 

 broken by hail, but stock was not at 

 all damaged. The Lakewood Cemetery 

 Greenhouses did not suffer to any ex- 

 tent from the storm, but great harm 

 was done throughout the cemetery, es- 

 peciallv near Lake Harriet, about 150 

 trees being blown down in that section. 

 At O. H. Carlson's 400 lights were 

 broken and outside stock was badly 

 damaged, the storm seeming to strike 

 this vicinity with great force. Mr 

 Carlson's troubles came in bunches last 

 week. Wednesday night, July 10, one 

 of his barns burned, together with two 

 horses, one cow, robes, blankets, har- 

 ness, etc.; in fact, nothing was saved. 

 This news is all awaiting Mr. Carlson 

 on his arrival from abroad, where, 

 with his family, he has been visiting 

 for a couple of months. As he will sail 

 soon, it was decided not to spoil his 

 return trip with unpleasant news. 

 Hans Eosacker, in the same vicinity 

 as the Carlson greenhouses, had about 

 200 lights broken in Friday's storm, 

 and some little damage to outside stock. 



Miss Scanlon, bookkeeper for the 

 Minneapolis Floral Co., is on her vaca- 



^^Thornas Hall has left for Portland, 

 Ore., to visit his sister. 



William Desmond, of the L. b. 

 Donaldson Co., has returned from In- 

 ternational Falls, where he spent his 

 vacation fishing. _ 



Harvey Lozier, of Des Moines, Iowa, 

 called on friends here last week. He 

 was on his way farther north fish- 

 ing, making the trip in his Ford ma- 

 chine. W- ^- H- 



Hartford, Conn.— Thomas J. Dryden 

 has bought the greenhouses managed by 

 E. W. Newton.

Be Has His Name Up 

 Who's He? 



Why, Godfrey Aschmann, the Araucaria King of 

 Philadelphia. He and his Araucarias are more popular than 

 pennies are with school children. No arguments needed to 

 sell his goods ; 25 years' experience in importing and ship, 

 ping the Araucaria (his specialty) makes him the Arau> 

 caria King of aii America. 



Do you wish to safely invest your money, now lying 

 idle in the bank, so that it will give you an almost unheard of return on your in- 

 vestment? If so, stock your empty benches with some of our Araucarias. They 

 grow while you sleep and when fall and winter comes you will find they have in- 

 creased in value four or five times. Can you do so well with any other stock?
