The Florists' Review 



JDI.Z 28. 1914. 



ST. PAUL. 



The Market. 



Business was exceedingly slow last 

 week, but stock is becoming quite 

 scarce. Carnations, especially, are 

 slowing up decidedly and the quality is 

 poor. Eoses are holding out fairly well 

 and the summer stock is in evidence. 

 Sweet peas, annuals and perennials of 

 all sorts are plentiful and the quality 

 ^ of the best. Some cold storage 

 peonies are seen and iiie flowers hold 

 up well. 



The Outing. 



Friday, July 17, the St. Paul Flo- 

 rists' Club, in conjunction with the Min- 

 neapolis Florists' Club and the Minne- 

 sota State Florists' Association, held 

 an outing on the river. The steamer 

 lied Wing and barge M'ere chartered 

 and a trip was made to Red Wing, 

 Minn., a distance of forty miles from 

 St. Paul. The steamer left the dock at 

 9:30 a. m. and arrived at the picnic 

 grounds at Red Wing at 2:30 p. m., 

 with about 450 florists and their 

 friends. Dancing was indulged in on 

 the down river trip. After lunch the 

 balance of the afternoon was devoted 

 to a sporting program, $100 in cash and 

 some merchandise prizes being distrib- 

 uted. An auto ride around the beauti- 

 ful little city was next in order and, 

 after the various interesting industries 

 had been visited, dinner was served. 

 After that the party boarded a special 

 train on the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. 

 Paul railroad and was whisked back to 

 St. Paul at about 9 p. m. 



This was no doubt the most interest- 

 ing picnic ever attempted and all ar- 

 rived home in the best of spirits and 

 loudly applauded the committee for 

 such an eventful day. The committee 

 consisted of E. P. Holm, A. C. Hansen 

 and F. Gustafson, of St. Paul, assisted 

 by C. N. Ruedlinger, J. S. Taylor and 

 Prof. Le Roy Cady, of Minneapolis. 

 John Sten, the Red Wing florist, was 

 head of a reception committee. A 

 number of out-of-the-eity guests were 

 l)resent. 



Various Notes. 



J. (Jhristensen, o«e of the proprie- 

 tors of the Acorn Greenhouses, in North 

 St. Paul, has disposed of his interests 

 in that business to his brother and is 

 again manager at the Holm & Olson 

 greenhouses. 



A. H. Kinsman, of Austin, was a 

 visitor for several days. . C. F. R. 



Evanston, Wyo.— Louis B. West- 

 holder, who has been established here 

 .iust a year, reports business in good 

 shape. Although it is July, the tem- 

 perature is cool, and frost was felt July 

 o. August is the only month without 

 frost in this vicinity. Shipping busi- 

 ness is excellent.
