ST. PAUL, MINN. 



Trade has been excellent during the 

 early fall and is improving daily. 

 Mums of various sizes, colors and 

 types are now in evidence while there 

 seems to be a plethora of ros?s. Car- 

 nations are still scarce with good 

 stock hard to obtain. Violets are 

 coming in fairly well and of good 

 quality, considering the variable 

 weather which we have experienced. 



Mums are at midseason now and 



are selling very freely. No striking 

 new varieties are noted here this year. 

 While the acme of perfection has not 

 yet been reached, still we think many 

 of the old sorts hard to beat. Bonnaffon 

 and Ivory, two of the tried and true, 

 are still with us fully as popular and 

 profitable as when first introduced. In 

 carnations, most of the one time 

 favorites have been discarded for 

 those of greater merit. Daybreak being 

 the one notable exception. Flora 

 Hill, Triumph. Jubilee and Bradt are 

 the principal varieties in their re- 

 spective colors. 



A. H. Bunde has rented his houses 

 on the Hudson road to Mr. Miller, who 

 will grow vegetables, and is building 

 two new houses in the city on Maria 

 avenue. 



Bouquet green has made an appear- 

 ance and is being used for decorating 

 stores. E. F. Lemke had a large store 

 decoration of green last week. 



At one of the prettiest home wed- 

 dings seen here in some time, the 

 decorations were in wild smilax, 

 mums and roses. The brides bouquet 

 was of violets in the shower style. 

 and was very much admired. Just why 

 brides should always carry white flow- 

 ers has never been satisfactorily ex- 

 plained. Colored flowers are also 

 being used quite extensively in funeral 

 work. 



We are sorry not to be able to re- 

 port a mum show in the Twin Cities, 

 as the flowers, flower lovers, enthusi- 

 astic florists and other attributes for 

 a successful flower show are here. 

 Perhaps a little more "team work" is 

 necessary. In other words, a little 

 more friendly feeling prevailing 

 among the members of the fraternity 

 would benefit all concerned. "In union 

 there is strength." would be an appro- 

 priate emblem for our local society 

 to adopt and then all work with that 

 object in view. 



From present indications bouquet 

 green will be higher priced than for 

 several years. In the grand forward 

 march of prosperity which we are now 

 enjoying, the green pickers are de- 

 manding higher prices, while lath anil 

 other accessories have advanced in 

 price in the same proportion as glass.
