BUSINESS NOTES OF THE TWIN 

 CITIES. 



Amundsou & Kerchner have opened 

 a very pretty new store on Hennefin 

 avenue, Minneapolis. Mr. Kerchner is 

 well known to the trade both east and 

 west, and for some years past has 

 been with the state nurseries of 

 Helena, Montana. 



At 34th and Lyndale avenue, Thomas 

 Hall has erected a range of four 

 houses— about 13.000 ft. of glass— for 

 roses and carnations. "Foley" ma- 

 terial was used; the houses are nearly 

 of equal span. Mr. Hall was formerly 

 with the Lakewood cemetery. 



At the Minneapolis Floral Co.'s 

 place, the home of the beautiful new- 

 rose Kate Moulton, a new boiler house 

 is Bearing completion, and this with 

 the new range involves a cost of over 

 $30,000. 



This week sees the completion of a 

 new River Drive that extends along 

 the Mississippi from Riverside park 

 to the Short Line bridge. The boule- 

 vard is the work of the i>ark board, 

 under the direction of Supt. Theodore 

 Wirth. 



SILVER WEDDING AT NEWPORT, 

 R. I. 

 .Mr. and -Mrs. Henry J. Hass cele- 

 brated the 25th anniversary of their 

 wedding on Saturday evening last. 

 When .Mr. Hass starts to do anything 

 he does it thoroughly; so when he 

 made up his mind to celebrate the 

 silver wedding, preparations were at 

 once set on foot for a good time for 

 the hosts of friends of his and of Mr.-;. 

 Hass. These to the number of up- 

 wards of SIX hundred gathered on the 

 evening stated to make glad with the 

 host and hostess. The presents from 

 friends to Mr. and Mrs. Hass were 

 numerous, elaborate and costly. The 

 entertainment following the reception 

 was varied, enjoyable and refreshing; 

 good cheer abounded. 



WASHINGTON WANTS A COMMIS- 

 SION HOUSE. 

 -Several meetings of growers and re- 

 tailers have recently been held to con- 

 sider the question of a cut-flower com- 

 mission house. Among the most inter- 

 ested are Z. D. Blackistone, .John Rob- 

 ertson. Henry Pfister, W. W. Kimraell, 

 David (.Jrillbcrlzer, and olhei-s. It 

 was at first proposed to form a stock 

 company with a capital of $25,000. 

 There is, however, some disagreement 

 as to the corrse to be pursued and 

 nothing definite can yet be stated con- 

 cerning the project. A woll-known re- 

 tailer mikes the statement that if the 

 company is not formed he will him- 

 self go into the commission business. 

 The scneme is being opposed by sev- 

 eral growers who are also in the 

 wholesale and retail business. To dis- 

 interested parlies it seems that a com- 

 mission hci'se, properly cxjnducted, 

 would spell progress to all lines of 

 the liiisiness. The small grower is 

 usually a busy man — too bu-sy to be 

 compelled to peddle flowers fiom store 

 to store, which under present condi- 

 tions he bas frequently to do. Con- 

 sidering the great amount of stock 

 that is sold in Washington during the 

 sea.son. it is most surprising that con- 

 certed efforts have never been made 

 to bring growers and retailers in clos- 

 er touch. This does not necessarily 

 mean the growers of the District of 

 Columbia exclusively, for if they do 

 not have the stock— and frequently 

 they do not — it must come from other 

 places. Clearly, the growers of the 

 district who oppose a commission 

 house must either grow more and bet- 

 ter stock or accept the consequences. 



PHILADELPHIA NOTES. 



Professor Stewardson Brown gave 

 an inter>?sting stereopticon lecture on

 western Canada— before the Horti- 

 cultural Society on the ICth inst. 



They say many Jersey mosquitoes 

 weigh a ix)und. But Jersey is noted 

 for many other things besides its mos- 

 quitoes—vegetables and fruits especial- 

 ly. This point is well illustrated in 

 the Johnson Company's exhibit of 

 squashes this week. One of them 

 weighs one hundred and eighty-nine 

 pounds: another is six feet long and 

 arm thick. All sizes, sorts and condi- 

 tions are on view from the nest egg 

 pigmy to the aforementioned mam- 

 moth", and all grown on the firm's Jer- 

 sev farm?. 



George Saintman, late of Myers & 

 Saintman. is the latest addition to the 

 Pennock--Meehan forces. There are 

 few better judges of good flowers, and 

 the grading department is distinctly 

 strength"ned by the advent of Mr. 

 Saintman.
