orders for decorations. The firm is 

 looking forward to a winter that 

 will be active socially. The presence of 

 the fleet is helping to make entertain- 

 ing popular. 



The Art Floral Co. has issued its new 

 catalogue. It has seventy-two pages, 

 all excellently illustrated with views 

 of floral decorations, many of them 

 attractive and original in design. 



F. C. Jaeger, Sr., of F. C. Jaeger & 

 Son, is a member of the grand jury and 

 he is on a tour of inspection, with the 

 other jurors, visiting the scene of the 

 great Hetch Hetchy projects, for bring- 

 ing water to San Francisco. The com- 

 pletion of this great project means 

 much to growers. 



Martin Eeukauf, representing H. 

 Bayersdorfer & Co., is calling on the 

 local trade. M. M.

Th.e Market. 



The hot weather during the latter part 

 of August put roses ahead too fast 

 and, consequently, there have been too 

 many on the market. Some of the 

 larger growers found no market for 

 them. Up to September 15 there had 

 been no frost and little cool weather, so 

 that flowers were fairly abundant in the 

 gardens. Large quantities of gladioli 

 are being grown. Some excellent stock 

 has come into the market. Indications 

 are good for better business as soon as 

 frost comes. 



At the State Fair. 



The Minnesota state fair was the big 

 attraction last week. The attendance 

 was not so great as usual, but the 

 association cleared between $^,- 

 000 and $50,000. Floriculture in St. 

 Paul was represented in a commercial 

 way by Holm & Olson, who, in addition 

 to the regular classes, put on a fine 

 display of nursery stock. Their table 

 decorations were excellent and brought 

 forth much favorable comment. Swan- 

 son's, Inc., and the Chicago Avenue 

 Greenhouses, of Minneapolis, put up fine 

 displays of ferns, decorative plants and 

 designs. 



Pauline Windmiller, of Mankato; the 

 Pfeiffer Nursery Co., Winona; George 

 Black & Son, Albert Lea, and F. F. Far- 

 rar, of Birch Lake, were among the out- 

 of-town visitors and exhibitors. 



The Pfeiffer Nursery Co. made a fine 

 display of 100 varieties of gladioli, in 

 spite of the fact that they had to be 

 brought 200 miles by automobile. 



The amateur gardeners had fine dis- 

 plays of cut garden flowers, wild flowers, 

 wild flower baskets, etc. They showed 

 fifteen or twenty different dinner table 

 decorations. Among them were some 

 of excellent quality. 



This exhibit was held in the horticul- 

 tural building and filled about one-half 

 the space. About $3,000 was offered 

 in prizes for flowers and the following 

 are those who won the prizes offered: 



Decorative plants covering 100 square feet —
