The Florists^ Review 



Mat 1, 1918. 



week a large window of adiantum, 

 with fine specimen rhododendrons, was 

 especially attractive and beautiful. 

 Her window displays are always ar- 

 tistic. 



The A. W. Smith Co. also does a 

 general business, and as landscape work 

 is a special feature, with the opera- 

 tions in this department extending over 

 a radius of 100 miles, it is needless to 

 say that the firm is at its wits' end at 

 times to get capable men to carry out 

 the work. The company is doing an 

 extensive retail seed business, which is 

 exceedingly active just at present. 

 The cut flower department is always 

 busy, as the firm is among the most 

 extensive advertisers in this city. 



The E. C. Ludwig Floral Co., of the 

 north side, has haf an unusually busy 

 week in funeral work. This firm caters 

 to the out-of-town undertakers, and an 

 order sent in at any hour of the day or 

 night receives immediate attention and 

 goes out on the first train. Ernest is 

 in the sleepless and restless class. 



Ben Eliiott, of the John Bader Co., 

 has been extremely busy getting his 

 stock into shape for Decoration day 

 ai»d he says, "Now let 'em come on," 

 as he is ready with the largest and best 

 stock he ever had. Mrs. Elliott, who 

 has been at Portland, Ore., visiting her 

 father, John Bader, has returned and 

 reports that her father is well and 

 happy in his new home. Clarke. 



St. Paul, Minn. — The Minnesota 

 Florists' Association gave its annual 

 dance April 17 at Junior Pioneer hall, 

 with an attendance of 300. It is custom- 

 ary for the association to alternate 

 its annual dances between Minneapolis 

 and St. Paul, but this year there have 

 been balls in both cities. 



Omaha, Neb: — The city council is in 

 a quandary to determine the proper 

 sources of the money necessary to ac- 

 cept the gift of the Joslyn greenhouse 

 and collection of tropical plants, and 

 to transfer them to the city park. 

 About $5,000 will be required. It is 

 proposed to reconstruct the greenhouse 

 as it is now and to reproduce the dark 

 rooms and damp cellars necessary for 

 the tropical growth.
