17 



New York Florists' club and of the 

 S, A. F., -has resumed business as a 

 wholesale florist and is now at 53

 wide acquaintance and many years of 

 experience in the trade, which should 

 <to far toward insuring the success of 

 his undertaking.

 of the American Institute will be held 

 in the Engineering building, 25 to 33

 provided for the display of dahlias, or- 

 chids, plants, fruit and vegetables, and

 Lecakes & Co., now has his office at 41

 September 6, into their fine new store, 

 on West Twenty-eighth street, directly 

 opposite the headquarters of Traendly

 and basement in the display of their 

 merchandise and in manufacturing. 

 Walter Siebrecht has moved into the 

 store they lately occupied, and will 

 make many improvements.

 ters imperative. Mr. Irwin's brother, 

 Stephen, who has spent the last nine 

 years on the Pacific coast, now is as- 

 sociated with him.

 will be given away on opening day. 

 Two large greenhouses have been added 

 to the glass area at Fifty-ninth street 

 during the summer. The cut flower de- 

 partment on the ground floor has been 

 enlarged. The outlook here for a big 

 business is bright.

The accompanying illustration shows 

 a group of well-known faces from New 

 York, on board one of the large ocean 

 liners. The photograph was taken when 

 the greater part of the sea voyage was 

 behind them and they were preparing 

 to land on the other side. The group 

 includes Louis Schmutz, Jr., and his 

 wife; B. MacNifF, and C. Bouquet, of 

 Bouquet & Sons, Flatbush. They left 

 in the middle of August for a six 

 weeks' tour of Holland, Belgium, 

 France and Germany. 



ST. PAUL, MINN. 



The Market. 



Business last week continued slow, al- 

 though funerals and weddings produced 

 a few large orders. Outdoor stock, ex- 

 cept asters and gladioli, is practically 

 off the market. Neither asters nor 

 gladioli have been better in years, and 

 the supply seems unlimited. 



The State Fair. 



A number of florists of this city and 

 also Minneapolis exhibited at the state 

 fair, where premiums to the amount of 

 $1,300 were distributed. Some fine 

 stock was shown in both plants and cut 

 flowers. More enthusiasm than in pre- 

 vious years was shown and all seemed 

 satisfied with the distribution of the 

 premiums. The judge was August 

 Swanson. H. Bofferding, of Minne- 

 apolis, assistant superintendent of hor- 

 ticulture, had charge of the exhibits.
