The Florists^ Review 



JuiA- 23, 1912. 



ST. PAUL. 



The Market. 



Business has been good; a number 

 of large funerals add^ to a fair gen- 

 eral business encourages the retailer 

 during this supposedly dull season. 

 Stock is none too plentiful. 



Various Notes. 



The Minnesota State Florists ' Asso- 

 ciation picnic last week, held at Spring 

 park, Lake Minnetonka, drew a good 

 attendance from St. Paul and some of. 

 our people were successful enough to 

 bring home some of the prizes. Among 

 those out of the city who attended were 

 P. J. Foley, president of the Chicago 

 Florists' Club, and A. Miller, of Hen- 

 derson & Co., Chicago. 



I am extremely sorry to have to re- 

 port that St. Paul has a crepe chaser. 

 A pronjinent family in which there was 

 a death a few days ago states that the 

 home was called on the telephone and it 

 was suggested that flowers be pur. 

 chased from the ones on the wire. The 

 daughter of the deceased was so morti- 

 fied that she informed her intimate 

 friends of the unusual way of getting 

 business and warped them so that they 

 in turn would know how she felt in the 

 matter should they be telephoned to 

 about flowers. There is nothing which 

 so lowers the standing of the tra(l^^- 

 Imagine a family in the first grief of 

 bereavement, when they are looking for 

 sympathy, getting a call in the way of 

 a florist looking for business. Can any- 

 thing be worse? C. R. F, 



ALBANY, N. Y. 



The July meeting of the Albany Flo- 

 rists' Club was held at the establish- 

 ment of Frederick Goldring, at Font 

 Grove. Forty members journeyed to 

 the Goldring place by train and auto- 

 mobile, and found Mr. Goldring a most 

 capable host. 



At the business meeting it was voted 

 to have a family clam bake on a Satur- 

 day afternoon late in August, at the 

 Abbey. The entertainment committee 

 was instructed to consult with George 

 Parr about the arrangements. 



President Danker named Edward P. 

 Tracey, F. R. Bilson and L. H. Shafer 

 a committee to inquire into the subject 

 of exhibits by members of the club at 

 the Glenmont fair this fall. 



The club accepted the invitation of 

 Henkes Bros, to hold the August meet- 

 ing at their place at Newtonville.
