The Market. 



There lias been an unusual demand 

 for flowers for the last two weeks. Dur- 

 ing the six or seven days prior to the 

 Hofr^wedding there were two recep- 

 tion dk^iers each day, and there was 

 a strongc^l for decorations, which 

 were carried out with sweet peas, corn- 

 flowers, snapdragons and gladioli. 



Funeral work has been heavy and 

 stock has been worked up closely. Gla- 

 dioli arc now at their best and the qual- 

 ity of the blooms is good this year. 

 Sweet peas are especially good this 

 year and they are now being cut with 

 12-inch and 14-inch stems with four 

 flowers to a stem. Roses are plentiful 

 and of good quality. Eubrum lilies 

 are mostly being used for decoration. 

 The local cut of asters is about to 

 come in and they promise to be of good 

 stock. Carnations are scarce and poor. 



Various Notes. 



The wedding of Miss E. S. Horr was 

 one of the most fashionable of the 

 midsummer weddings. It was held in 

 St. Paul's church. The chancery was 

 transformed into a leafy bower with 

 tall poplar trees and cibotium ferns. 

 The altar was banked with Easter lil- 

 ies. Poplar trees were used through- 

 out the church with striking effect. The 

 bride carried a bouquet of Easter lil- 

 ies with a shower of white satin baby 

 ribbon. The maid of honor carried a 

 colonial bouquet of Ophelia, Russell 

 and Columbia roses, with a pink satin 

 shower. Six bridesmaids carried co- 

 lonial bouquets of rubrum lilies and 

 three shades of pink sweet peas tied 

 with brown tulle. The Duluth Floral 

 Co. made the wedding bouquets and 

 John Nilof, of Minneapolis, had charge 

 of the decorating. 



The Quality Flower Shop reports a 

 busy time with funeral work. 



William Japp, of the Lester Park 

 Greenhouses, has returned from his va- 

 cation.
