ST. PAUL. 



A 'bedding Celebration. 



Wednesday, September 20, the florists 

 of St. Paul had a great time celebrating 

 the wedding of Miss Dora Puvogel and 

 Wm. Strehlow, bur expert violet grower. 

 The ceremony took place at 6 o'clock in 

 the evening at St. Paul's church, with 

 O. Hiersekorn as best man and his sister- 

 in-law as bridesmaid. Two hours later 

 the florists assembled at the couple 's new 

 residence, every one expecting a * * hot 

 time." A first-class supper and liquids 

 of excellent quality put everybody into 

 a high degree of gayety and joy. The 

 German singing society, Concordia, and 

 a double quartet let loose and "Billy" 

 Swanson and C. Bussjaeger furnished 

 the band and Terpsichore was the god of 

 the evening; they all wanted to dance 

 and Carl Haugen, the dancing master, 

 had his hands full. Carl Vogt made the 

 wedding speech and extended congratula- 

 tions in fine style. 



Those present were numerous and 

 pretty, to mention the florists only. They 

 collected and bought a fifty-dollar leather 

 couch and besides everyone sent his own 

 present. Among those present were Mr. 

 and Mrs. 0. Hiersekorn and sister; Mr. 

 and Mrs. H. Puvogel, Mr. and Mrs. F. 

 Franke, Mr. and Mrs. H. Krinke, just re- 

 turned from their old country trip; Mr. 

 and Mrs. C. Bussjaeger; Mr. and Mrs. 

 Aug. Vogt, Mr. and Mrs. J. Haupt, 

 Messrs. Haugen and Swanson, Carl Vogt, 

 the wedding orator, and about seventy- 

 five more friends. 



Various Notes. 



Business is rather glow and only that 

 several of our most prominent citizens 

 died unexpectedly helped our storekeepers 

 to get rid of some stock. 



C. N. Hansen is completing his new, 

 big, model carnation house. 



Everyone is looking for a little frost 

 to kill the remnant of annuals still 

 blooming freely. C. B. 



INDIANAPOLIS. 



The Indianapolis merchants and florists 

 are preparing to boom the flower show 

 throughout Indiana, Ohio and Illinois. 

 Financial backing does not seem to be 

 lacking, as subscriptions to the premium 

 list are heavier than in former years. 

 Indianapolis being the center of the cen- 

 tral flower growing section, no trouble 

 is anticipated in filling Tomlinson hall to 

 overflowing. Such growers as the E. O. 

 Hill Co., of Richmond; W. J. & M. S. 

 Vesey, of Fort Wayne ; F. Domer & Sons 

 Co., of Lafayette, and Gunnar T«l- 

 mann, of Marion; Stuart & Haugh, of 

 Anderson, and W. W. Coles, of Kokomo, 

 are preparing to send their choice stock 

 to Indianapolis. 



The scheme for decorating Tomlinson 

 hall is being worked out by Edward Ber- 

 termann and assistants. Special oriental 

 scenery is being prepared for the stage 

 and contracts are let for many thousands 

 of electric lights. The New Castle people

WICHITA, KAS. 



Business shows a slight improvement 

 this week, lota of funeral work helping 

 out to a considerable extent. Boses are 

 improving. Some very fine Beauties, 

 Maids and Kaiserins are to be had and 

 are bringing good prices. Carnations are 

 making their appearance, but are rather 

 small as yet, owing to the excessive heat 

 we are having. 



Jacob Schulz's new store is nearly 

 ready for occupancy.

 store about October 15. 



A. B. Baumer has been making a beau- 

 tiful display of cut gladioli mixed with

 nations.

Mrs. Catherine Lichtefeld, mother of

Charles P. Mueller, one of Wichita's 

 best known citizens, has been established 

 in the florists' business for twenty-two 

 years, and during this time has built up 

 an extensive trade. His place is located 

 at East Ninth street and Hydraulic ave- 

 nue, where he has this siunmer erected a 

 very large addition to his glass, to be 

 ready for occupancy by November 15. 

 This will give him 22,000 square feet un- 

 der glass, being constructed of Louisiana 

 cypress with double strength glass, all 

 supports being of iron piping set in ce- 

 ment, and equipped with the best steam 

 heating plant that money could buy. Mr. 

 Mueller has found by years of experience 

 that hydrant water was quite injurious 

 to delicate plant life, so to get the best 

 results he installed his own water sys- 

 tem from his own wells and equipped the 

 entire place with a pneumatic air pres- 

 sure water system and has a reserve tank 

 that is twenty-four feet long and four 

 feet in diameter that he can obtain a 

 pressure up to 150 pounds if so desired.
