F. T. D. Service in a whole- 

 sale way is distinct in its 

 appeal for business from

while they were disposed of in quantity, 

 there were, enough to fill all orders and 

 some to spare. The quality of valley 

 has improved tremendously and the 

 quantity has increased to an appreciable 

 degree. This stock is moving readily, 

 despite the fact that outdoor valley is 

 to be had in quantity. There were a 

 few small consignments of local peonies, 

 at the end of last week, but only reds. 

 The other colors will not be ready for a 

 week or two. There are plenty of snap- 

 dragons in the market, but the stock is 

 deteriorating and is not moving well. 

 The cool, wet weather still retards the 

 sale of plants, although some outdoor 

 work is being done. 



While there have been some good- 

 sized funeral orders during the last 

 week, there has been no graduation 

 work, and the local tradesmen have only 

 been fairly busy.

To sum up the conditions, we can say 

 that business just about holds its own 

 with that of last year in the cut llower 

 end and that the plant end is still behind 

 its schedule. 



Various Notes. 



E. P. Holm, of Holm & Olson, St. 

 Paul, Minn., paid our city a flying visit 

 Tuesday, June 12. Mr. Holm's son, as 

 well as the son of Mr, Olson, graduated 

 from St. John's Military Academy, of 

 Delafield, Wis., on that day, and, of 

 course, Mr. and Mrs. Holm attended 

 the exercises. The party made a short 

 stop in Milwaukee on their way home, 



and this gave Mr. Holm an opportu- 

 nity to see his friends of the trade. 



The delivery car of the Baumgarten 

 Floral Co. quit on the job the other day. 

 Tlic car was traveling downhill at 

 Eighth and Cedar streets when, to avoid 

 striking another car that had gotten in 

 front of it, the driver turned short and 

 the car upset. There was no one hurt 

 and the car was only slightly damaged. 

 The glass panels in the top and the 

 fenders got the worst of It. 



Miss Gretchen Baumgarten, who has 

 been seriously ill, is reported to be some- 

 what improved, although her progress is 

 necessarily slow. She has the best
