ST. PAUL. 



Various Items. 



Thanksgiving trade was a "liummer"' 

 and reflected the general prosperity of 

 the Northwest in a most satisfactory 

 manner. Weather conditions were per- 

 fect, stock fairly plentiful and of good 

 quality and buyers numerous. This 

 holiday never brings out the large buy- 

 ers like Christmas does, but the great 

 middle class, people of moderate means, 

 always like a few flowers for the table 

 and buy according to their purse. After 

 all this class of trade is the most satis- 

 factory as purchases are mostly for cash, 

 complaints are few and patrons know 

 what they want and are easily attended 

 to. 



Chrysanthemums were in great de- 

 mand during the week owing to numer- 

 ous receptions and the annual charitv 

 ball. 



Roses, carnations and violets have been 

 in big demand with not enoujjli home- 

 grown stock to supply the demand. If 

 the favorable weather continues there 

 should be a good crop for tlic holidays. 



Bouquet green is now in stock, the 

 quality being very fine but the quantity 

 limited and prices high. 



August Exstrand, who formerly ran 

 the greenhouses on Portland avenue, this 

 city, and was located at Forest Lake 

 during the summer, attempted sui- 

 cide Nov. 24 by swallowing two ounces 

 of carbolic acid. 



The daughters of the Brooklyn bard, 

 J. Austin Shaw, were here the past week, 

 acting in "the Burgomaster." in which 

 they have prominent parts. While here 

 they were entertained by 'SU. and Mrs. 

 J. A. May. 



L. L. May & Co. received several im- 

 portations of valley pips and spireas the 

 past week. Their wholesale seed estab- 

 lishment is a bee hive of industry at the 

 present time. 



W. G. Bundo, formerly conneeted with 

 the trade in this city, and quite well 

 acquainted with the ' craft throughout 

 the West, was recently married to Miss 

 Andrews of this city. X. Y. Z. 



CORRECTION. 



In our report of the St. Louis exhibi- 

 tion some errors crept in. Gunnar Teil- 

 mann, of Marion, Ind., won the first 

 premium on 25 pinks, with Helen Blood- 

 good, and third premium on twelve any 

 other color with Lavender Queen, in ad- 

 dition to those awards credited to him. 



A COPT of the printed proceedings of 

 the seventeenth annual convention of the 

 Society of American Florists, held at 

 BufTalo last August, has been received. 

 These reports seem to be expanding year- 

 ly, this one containing nearly 200 pages. 

 It contains all the essays read at the 

 Buffalo convention, with full reports of 

 all the discussions and much other in- 

 teresting matter. It is a very useful 

 record and well illustrates the progress 

 being made by the national organization. 



Lynn, Mass. — Fred Smith, of Euclid 

 avenue, has gone into partnership with 

 Gibbs Bros., on Munroe street. Their 

 houses are well stocked and they ex- 

 pect to do a large business. 



The Florists' Manual, by Wm. Scott, 

 is a whole library on commercial flori- 

 culture. It cost's $5.00 and nothing 

 would be more appreciated as a Christ- 

 mas gift.
