The Florists^ Review 



Adodbt 1, 1912. 



ST. PAUL, MINN. 



The Market. 



Last week was a good one for the re- 

 tailer. Business was good, and stock 

 has outgrown the effects of the recent 

 storm. Nearly all outdoor stock iiM^A** 

 coming of good quality again. Sweet 

 peas, however, are not up to the stand- 

 ard, as the recent heavy rains affected 

 the flowers. The dampness has also 

 caused a blight of the buds, as they 

 show color. The sweet pea is hard to 

 dispense with and, should we get a 

 little dry sppll, it will no doubt be 

 beneficial to the stock. 



Inside stock is poor and carnations 

 are hardly fit to use, but, fortunately, 

 asters are good and make a good carna- 

 tion substitute. 



Various Notes. 



With the National Saengerfest held 

 in the city last week and about 15,000 

 visitors here, the retailer was bound to 

 be benefited in some way. Nearly all 

 of the downtown storekeepers showed 

 enough enthusiasm to decorate their 

 store fronts and put in appropriate 

 window decorations. Among these was 

 one seen at Holm & Olson's. With the 

 background of beech spray screens and 

 a ground of Japanese mats, the old- 

 fashioned grass-growing heads, pigs and 

 bears were displayed to good advan- 

 tage. The novelties were shown in dif- 

 ferent stages of advancement and they 

 not only attracted considerable atten- 

 tion, but proved a profitable idea for 

 the firm. 



The Warrendale Floral Co. has just 

 completed the erection of a fine new 

 house, constructed as largely as possible 

 of concrete. This house will be planted 

 to asparagus and, as there is constantly 

 a shortage of that necessary green, it 

 should be a good investment. 



The O. E. Eckhardt Co., our enter- 

 prising wholesale firm, is busy these 

 days handling an immense quantity of 

 outside and inside stock, and in their 

 spare time the force is busy shaping 

 things for the fall business. 



Gus Colberg, of L. L. May & Co., is 

 spending his vacation out of the city. 



L. Anderson, the florist, has opened 

 a store in the Schubert theater build- 

 ing. Mrs. Anderson is in charge and 

 reports a fine outlook. 



Mr. and Mrs. L. W. Vensky, of Holm 

 & Olson, have just returned from their 

 vacation, spent in Duluth and down the 

 lake to Chicago. 



W. G. Haebich, of the John A. Salzer 

 Seed Co., La Crosse, Wis., attended the 

 Saengerfest and was also looking for a 

 market for his stock. He was carrying 

 around a huge bunch of Hamburg 

 grapes. The Salzer Co. has several 

 houses devoted to the growing of 

 grapes. 



T. W. Campbell, of the Campbell Flo- 

 ral Co., Calgary, Can., was a visitor 

 last week. He was much impressed 

 with the good condition of our stock. 

 He said that in his territory sweet peas 

 were just coming in. 



W. J. Keimel, of Elmhurst, 111., called 

 on the trade to make arrangements re- 

 garding his next season's stock. 



Other visitors were: H. S. Garland, 

 DesPlaines, 111.; Alex. Klokner, Mil- 

 waukee, Wis.; Mr. Rice, Terre Haute, 

 Ind.; Mr. Rentschler, of the Capital 

 City Greenhouses, Madison, Wis.; W. 

 Otterman, of the Salzer Seed Co., La 

 Cropse, Wis. C. B. F.

He 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 all America.
