ST. PAUL. 



Business has now rcm-lR-tl elib title 

 and vacatioas and early closing shonld 

 be the order of the day, and night, too, 

 hut alas! are not in this town. With 

 but one exception the .stores are all kept 

 open till 8 p. m. during the week and 

 till noon Sundays, as though the shekels 

 were pouring in instead of an occasional 

 nickel for a boutonniere. 



Good stock is not very plentiful and 

 all that is good finds a market. Beauties, 

 Kaiserins, Meteors, Carnots, Testouts, 

 Brides and Maids constitute the principal 

 cut. A few carnations of fair quality 

 are still coming in. Sweet peas, corn 

 tlowers, delphiniums, coreopsis, gaillard- 

 ias, etc., are quite abundant, but besides 

 making a place showy and attractive are 

 not very profitable. 



Swanson is cutting some asters, and 

 May & Co. have valley and anratums. 

 These being out of the ordinary run of 

 flowers sell quite readily. 



The growers have been quite busy re- 

 planting and repairing. A. S. Swanson 

 has one new house completed and plant- 

 ed to roses. It is 25x120 in dimensions, 

 has 16x20 lapped glass, four beds under- 

 laid with 3-inch square tiling and is a 

 fine house for roses. Two more houses 

 are under way. These are 1.5x120 and 

 20x120 respectively, and will be planted 

 to mums, which are one of Mr. Swanson 's 

 specialties. All of the roses at his 

 "place are new plants, being fine, clean 

 and healthy. Three houses are planted 

 to violets in scdid beds. Outside there 

 is a great variety of annuals and hardy 

 perennials in bloom. He also has a very 

 fine lot of arauearias which are making 

 a very vigorous growth. A batch of 

 azaleas carried over are making good 

 growth. 



At Chris Hansen's, roses, which he 

 grows very extensively, are all replanted, 

 and nearly all are old ones cut back and 

 carried over. One house contains Mete- 

 ors planted for the third time. They 

 did exceptionally well last season and are 

 now breaking into fine new growth again. 

 Mr. Hansen has been one of the largest 

 and most successful Liberty growers in 

 this section and is planting a large num- 

 ber again this season. He expects to 

 sail for Denmark, his native land, in 

 about ten days. 



At L. L. May & Co. 's work is being 

 pushed on their new houses as rapidly 

 as pos.sible. Roses are all planted ex- 

 cept those to go in the new range. Old 

 stock is being replanted here also and 



nothing but grafted stock on imported 

 Manetta is used, as club root played such 

 havoc on other stocks as to preclude 

 their use. Three houses of mums are 

 planted and carnations, which have made 

 an exceptional growth in the field, will 

 be lifted the last of July. 



At Como Park the lily ponds are at- 

 tracting the visitors at present, while 

 the show of Crimson Eambler and Queen 

 of the prairie roses is most gorgeous. 

 About town Clematis Jackmanni is now 

 one mass of blossoms. 



The Twin City Florists ' picnic will 

 be held in the near future, either at 

 Wildwood or Spring Park. The com- 

 mittees are arranging an excellent pro- 

 gram of sports and a full attendance of 

 all in the trade is earnestly desired.

PIPING. 



Please tell me the highest number of 

 feet of 2-inch wrought iron pipe a lil- 

 horse-power return tubular boiler will 

 heat with water where the temperature 

 does not go below zero at the coldest. 



J. J. 



In reply to .1. J., a 10-11. P. boiler 

 used for water heating will give sufficient 

 heat to sn|>ply 2, .560 lineal feet of 2-inch 

 pipes, assuming that the pipe surface in 

 relation to glass surface is proportion- 

 ately provided for. 



New York. Henry W. Gibbons. 



HOLLYHOCK RUST. 



The rust wliii-li attacks the leaves of 

 hollyhocks is tlie hollyhock fungus (Puc- 

 cinea Malvacearum) and is nearly allied 

 to the violet fungus. Whenever this 

 attacks a hollyhock it is nearly certain 

 to kill it, and whenever it appears the 

 best thing to do is to pull up the plants 

 attacked and burn them to prevent its 

 spreading. Half measures are not of 

 the least use. 



Kibes. 



AsTOKiA, N. Y. — In a quarrel with his 

 wife, August Mulle, a florist, so seriously 

 injured her with a garden rake that she 

 will probably die. He asserts that she 

 tried to shoot him and that he acted in 

 self defei'se.
