ST. PAUL. 

 Various Items. 



Bedding business lias scarcely be- 

 gun. Owing to the la!e Easter all stock 

 is a little backward, and from present 

 indications will be all used up before 

 the close of the season. Good gera- 

 niums in 4-inch pots are quottd at 7 to 

 U) cents each at wholesale, and $1.50 to 

 $2 per dozen at retail. This price in 

 most instances including the plajiting. 

 Pansies have been in good demand. 

 The late frosts injured the early 

 blooms somewhat, but stock in gen- 

 eral is very good. 



The cut flower trade has been very 

 good, with stock of good, bad and in- 

 different quality. The late Easter and 

 the consequent rush of work with bed- 

 ding plants caused many roses and 

 carnations to be neglected, while the 

 alternate cold nights and warm days 

 have pinched the iilooms and mil- 

 dewed the plant.s. The growers may 

 still learn a lesson from the old adsige, 

 "Whatever is worth doing at all is 

 worth doing well." This is particular- 

 ly apropos in growing cut flowers. 



The evening of the 13th we had a 

 severe storm of hail, wind and rain. 

 Damage to the florists was merely 

 nominal, caused by hail breaking the 

 glass. Carlsen & T^auritsen lost a few 

 hundred feet, Christ Hansen had con- 

 siderable broken and L. !>. May & Co. 

 had a loss of about 2.000 feet. As the.v 

 all carry hail insurance the loss will 

 not be very heavy. 



Inquiries for cut flowers for Deco- 

 ration day would indicate a very 

 heavy trade ior that occasion. The 

 careful store men will lay in a big sup- 

 ply, as last season's supply was whol- 

 ly inadequate for the demands. 



Work at our beautiful parks has just 

 begun. Quite a good miny geraniums 

 have been put out already, and the 

 week will see a great many more 

 planted. 



Recent visitors were Mr. Taat and 

 Mr. Van Waveren. both of Holland. 

 May their shadows never grow iess.

OCEANIC, N. J. 



A very animated meeting of the 

 Monmouth County Horticultural Soci- 

 ety was held at Red Man's Hall, 

 Oceanic, N. .T., May 18. Dr. W. S. 

 Whitmore delivered an address which 

 will appear in an early issue, upon 

 "The Cultivation of Klowers; Their 

 Influence upon Society and Their Ben- 

 efit to Gardeners." The doctor is well 

 known for his excellent speeches, but 

 this one created a sensation. .\ lively 

 debate followed, in which I'res. Kettel, 

 Prof. Walling, Whit. Williams, Mrs. 

 V. A. Legier. Miss .lennie Brill and 

 others took part. B.
