ST. PAUL. 



The dark, rainy weather the past 

 two weeks has been detrimental to 

 sales and likewise deteriorated quality 

 and quantity of stock. 



Several social events of importance, 

 numerous weddings and plenty of 

 funeral work have created a fair de- 

 mand for good stock and sales in the 

 aggregate are larger than for the cor- 

 responding period last year. 



fn roses there has been a good sup- 

 ply of all varieties. Beauties being es- 

 pecially in demand. Prices are well 

 maintained, good teas. $3.00 to $4.00; 

 Beauties, $10,00 to $20,00. 



In carnations the supply has hardly 

 been sufficient to meet the demand. 

 Prices ranging from $1.50 to $2.50 per 

 100. 



Violets have been kept back by the 

 dark weather, and but very few good 

 blooms have found their way to mar- 

 ket. Those which are coming in are 

 of medium quality and sell at 50 to 75 

 cts per 100. 



The mum season has fairly opened 

 and some very good flowers have 

 come in. They sell at 10 to 20 cents 

 each at wholesale. Of the newer va- 

 rieties Elvena, Rose Owen and Golden 

 Harvest are the most promising. Glory 

 of Pacific is disappointing, being of 

 uneven color. 



Fall importations of palms have ar- 

 rived and sales are good. The smaller 

 sized plants that will retail at $1.00 to 

 $2.00 each are most in demand, and 



Kentias are the most popular varieties. 



Pete Holm now wears a very smil- 

 ing countenance. It's a boy, and 

 weighs 12 lbs.
