The Market 



Very little has been done in the re- 

 tail stores this week. Some fine rains 

 have visited us, making things look 

 considerably fresher than for some 

 weeks. Koses, with some few excep- 

 tions, are very poor. Carnations are 

 fair, considering the heat. Sweet peas 

 are almost out of the market and are 

 of poor quality. Asters are coming in 

 and are fair. There is a large stock of 

 gladioli, Shasta daisies and dahlias 

 coming in and they are selling rapidly, 

 bringing fair prices. Stock at the grow- 

 ers ' is looking well and we hope for some 

 good stock soon. A few wedittngs and 

 garden parties are using up the outdoor 

 flowers, but very little is being realized 

 for them. 



Various Notes. 



The Alpha Floral Co. is doing quite 

 a business, considering the dfill season, 

 and keep quite a stock on hand. 



Miss Louise Boggess, with D, Freud- 

 enthal, has returned from a two weeks' 

 vacation in the country. 



A peep into the greenhouses of Sam 

 Murray shows things to be in first-class 

 condition and when the time rolls 

 around for the flower show Mr. Murray 

 will be an important factor. 



Another one who will make himself 

 felt is W. J. Barnes, who is putting his 

 houses in fine condition and has some 

 very fine stock on his benches. 



Some new stock of roses is coming in 

 ^from A. Broman's place in Independ- 

 'ence and, considering everything, is 

 about the best seen here. Mr. Broman's 

 stock is handled exclusively by Miss 

 M. Dalley, who finds a ready market for 

 the output. 



Mr. Harnden, of the Harnden Seed 

 Co., is making arrangements to put in 

 a refrigerator at his place near the 

 market and expects to handle cut flow- 

 ers, commencing the first of September. 

 Mr. Harnden will have no coihpetition 

 in his end of town and should do a good 

 business. 



The Owl Florists held their opening 

 last Saturday and, although the day 

 was a miserably wet one, their sales 

 were very fair. Considering that their 

 store is small, they have one of the 

 neatest establishments in the city. 



Nelson Jarrett was at the market 

 Saturday with a fine load of begonias 

 and ferns. He is one of the best bego- 

 nia growers in this section of the coun- 

 try and always finds a ready sale for 

 his product. 



Jacob Tobler, who has been under the 

 weather the past two weeks, was in 

 the market Saturday with some fine 

 stock. 



Henry Lambach, with L, Baumann, 

 Chicago, was here last week.

ST. PAUL. 



July 23 the annual picnic was held 

 by the Twin City florists at Wildwood, 

 White Bass Lake, both Minneapolis and 

 St. Paul sending a large contingent of 

 florists, their families and their most 

 intimate friends. The day was an ideal 

 picnic day and Everybody was feeling 

 high over it. All the races and contests 

 came off without a hitch and the prizes 

 were good and honors just about even. 

 They were too many to mention names. 

 The committee, composed of Mr. Hart- 

 man, of Minneapolis, N. C. Hansen and 

 William Swanson, of St. Paul, did 

 everything they could to satisfy every- 

 body. The ride on the steamer Eanis- 

 ley, with the inevitable ice cream and 

 cake for the ladies, and cigars for the 

 gentlemen was the principal affair of 

 the day. Henry Puvogcl sang solos, 

 also several ladies showed musical cul- 

 ture and excitement ran high, espe- 

 cially on the latest songs. After this 

 dancing was all the go with the younger 

 element and it was late, very late, when 

 the last florist crawled under.

Some of our growers are getting 

 things ready for benching carnations as 

 soon as possible, but quite a few of 

 them are averse to it, and claim the 

 old way of planting in the first half in 

 September is better. Otherwise every- 

 thing is pretty quiet all around, as 

 usual, and everj'one is waiting for W. 

 Strehlow 's wedding, which is to take 

 place as coon as his new residence is 

 completed. Hurrah! Three cheers for 

 "Billy"! C. B.
