ST. PAUL. 



Owing to the unfavorable, unseasonable 

 weather trade has not been as active as 

 it might otherwise have been. There has, 

 however, been a good demand for cut 

 blooms and good stock, especially in 

 roses, has been none too plentiful. 

 Prices have been well maintained, roses 

 being held at $4 to $8 per 100 and carna- 

 tions at $1 to $2 at «-holesale. This 

 town does not grow near enough for its 

 home trade, and large consignments are 

 shipped in daily from the east. 



While the writer would not advise any 

 one to enter business here it seems as 

 though one or two carnation or violef 

 growers would find a profitable trade 

 here. From 3,000 to ,5,000 carnation 

 blooms and 1,000 to 3,000 roses are 

 shipped in here weekly for about nine 

 months in the year, to say nothing about 

 Beauties, violets, smilax, etc., all of which 

 combined swells the total to quite large 



proportions. The trouble has never been 

 where to sell stock, but where to buy it. 



A recent visitor, Mr. C. H. Fisk, of 

 Chicago, marveled at the wonderful in- 

 crease in trade here since his last visit 

 ten years ago. The country trade in the 

 northwest is assuming good proportions 

 and growing rapidly, and those who do a 

 shipping trade report a doubling and 

 trebling of business every few years. 



Our local orchid expert, Dr. E. Schiflf- 

 man, was elected to the assembly on the 

 Democratic ticket, leading all competitors 

 by several hundred votes, and all this oc- 

 curred while the popular orchidist was in 

 Japan or on the seas, thus doubly empha- 

 sizing his popularity with his fellow 

 townsmen. We expect to see him bring 

 back a fine collection of his pet beauties 

 from the Philippines and the far away 

 Orient. 



Christ Hansen, the enterprising Dale 

 street florist, has been awarded a verdict 

 of $2,000 against the gas company for 

 damage to plants. A similar suit a year 

 ago was settled out of court. The gas- 

 mains in front of Mr. Hansen's green- 

 houses burst, or at anv rate leaked, when 

 the ground was frozen several feet deep. 

 The gas permeated the unfrozen soil, com- 

 ing to the surface inside the houses and 

 killing the plants. 



L. L. May & Co. expect to break ground 

 soon for the erection of three modern 

 greenhouses, replacing some of their pres- 

 ent plant, which is quite old. This firm 

 has had a very fine business this spring in 

 hardy nursery stock. Theii' farm at Lake- 

 land is rapidly assuming the appearance 

 of a full-fledged nursery, some seventy 

 acres being planted this spring in addi- 

 tion to seventy-five planted before. 



Fred Schafer, well known to the craft 

 here, has gone to Montana to take charge 

 of the private place of Mr, Wormser. His 

 friends will all wish him success in his 

 new position. X. Y. Z. 



AMERICAN CARNATION SOCIETY. 



A copy of the printed proceedings of 

 the eleventh annual meeting of the Amer- 

 ican Carnation Society, held in Indianap- 

 olis, Feb. 19 and 20, 1902, has been re- 

 ceived from Secretary Albert M. Herr, 

 Lancaster, Pa. 



It is a very neatly printed book of 106 

 pages and contains all the essays read at 

 the meeting, together with a stenographic 

 report of the discussions and much other 

 interesting matter, including a list of the 

 carnations registered during the preced- 

 ing year. The frontispiece is an excel- 

 lent portrait of Past President Berter- 

 mann. 



The report is one that should be in the 

 possession of every one interested in 

 commercial carnation culture. If you are 

 not already a member of the society you 

 may become one by sending your name 

 and address and $2.00 to Secretary Al- 

 bert M. Herr, Lancaster. Pa., and thus 

 be entitled to a copy of the report. 



Minneapolis, Minn. — J. E. Northrup, 

 president of the American Seed Trade 

 Association, and L. L. May, of St. Paul, 

 recently held a conference with Chair- 

 man Nye, of the Commercial Club con- 

 \ention committee, to consider arrange- 

 ments for the coming convention of the 

 Seed Trade Association. Mr. May wishes 

 to have the members given a day in St. 

 Paul as his guests.
