ST. PAUL. 



Trade for June was the best on re- 

 cord. Everything met. with ready 

 sales; the greatest drawback being the 

 scarcity of stock dining the iirst of 

 the month. There is still quite a de- 

 mand for roses, carnations, sweet peas, 

 etc. But very little outside bloom o£ 

 any description has been cut as yet 

 and as nearly all inside plants have 

 been thrown out the supply of good 

 Htock is limited. Some very nice 

 Kaiserin and Meteor are being cut 

 from newly planted stock. Perles and 

 Testout are planted in limited quan- 

 tities with an occasional bench of 

 Pres. Carnot. This succeeds admirably 

 as a summer bloomer and should be 

 planted more extensively. Carnations 

 are becoming very small and pinched 

 in appearance and but few good blooms 

 are seen. 



The florists of the Twin Cities and 

 their friends will picnic at Wildwood, 

 on White Bear lake, on Tuesday, July 

 11. There will be all manner of 

 games and amusements and a good 

 time in general is predicted. 



The next regular meeting of the So- 

 ciety of Minnesota Florists will be 

 held at the Ryan Hotel, this city, the 

 first Saturday evening in August, at 

 which time plans for going to De- 

 troit will be decided upon. 



The Minneapolis bowlers are getting 

 into shape again and expect to put up 

 a fast game at the national meeting. 

 The prospects for a good attendance 

 from this section are very bright.

 DesMoines, spent a few days with the 

 trade here two weeks since.

AMERICAN ROSE SOCIETY. 



A copy of the prospectus and the by- 

 laws of the American Rose Society 

 have reached us. The policy outlined 

 in the prospectus is certainly broad 

 and the earnestness of those who have 

 assumed the task of making the so- 

 ciety what it should lu is beyond 

 question. It seems strange that the 

 rose, the most important flower to 

 American commercial growers, should 

 not until now have had a society de- 

 voted solely to its interests though the 

 chrysanthemum, the carnation, and 

 even the dahlia have been so honored. 



Every one interested in the rose — 

 and what florist is not — should do all 

 in his power to further the work out- 

 lined in the prospectus of the Ameri- 

 can Rose Society. Copies may be had 

 by addressing the secretary, Mr. Paul 

 M. Pierson, Scarborough, N. Y. The 

 other officers are: Pres., W. C. Barry, 

 Rochester, N. Y.; Vice-Pres., Benj. 

 Dorrance, Dorranceton, Pa.; Treas., 

 John N. May. Summit, N. J.: Execu- 

 tive Committee: E. G. Hill, Rich- 

 mond, Ind.; E. G. Asmus, West Ho-

RIVERTON, N. J. 



Mr. J. D. Eisele, manager of Dreer's 

 nurseries, with his staff of men, who. 

 when lined up at the potting benches 

 remind one of a young army, has just 

 completed the annual "clean up." 

 which is looked upon- by Mr. Eisele as 

 one of the principal events of the year. 

 To perform the work it requires the 

 labor of seventy men for six weeks. 

 There are between three and four 

 hundred thousand seedling ferns pot- 

 ted off during this period, to say noth- 

 ing of the acres of palms to be seen 

 at this immense establishment. To 

 the writer's own personal knowledge 

 each and every plant on the place is 

 handled during these six weeks. 



A visit to this extensive plant now 

 is time and money well spent, for in 

 addition to the stock under glass there 

 are acres of herbaceous stuff and a 

 group of aquatic ponds in which may 

 be seen the finest nymphaeas, etc., now 

 in full bloom. RUPPERT.
