TWIN QTIES. 



The Market 



Business is quiet in the cut flower 

 line, and a call at the stores in both 

 cities finds the clerks attending to busi- 

 ness, while the proprietor may be away 

 fishing or enjoying some other recreation. 

 Funeral work with the largest dealers 

 has been active. 



Stock of everything, with the pos- 

 sible exception of outdoor flowers, is 

 scarce. Eoses are particularly scarce 

 and it is sometimes hard to fill orders; 

 the demand is not at all heavy, but so 

 few are being cut that a good day now 

 and then cleans up the rose market in 

 good shape, rarnations are also scarce 

 and what we are getting are small and 

 inferior. Prices are fair. Roses are 

 selling for $1.50 per dozen, carnations at 

 from 25 cents to 75 cents per dozen. 

 Sweet peas are plentiful and are sold 

 at 50 cents per bunch of twenty-five. 

 Green stuff is in good supply. Wild 

 and fancy ferns are marketed in large 

 quantities, and are used to work up in 

 designs. Street dealers are doing a 

 good business in fern plants. 



St. Paul. 



August Vogt says trade is quiet. As 

 he is located in the residence district, 

 he no doubt feels the slump, his cus- 

 tomers being all at the lakes. 



C. F. Vogt reports a good trade in

 of roses is small ; outdoor flowers sell to 

 good advantage. 



Otto Hiersekorn is not worrying about 

 business. He says he has enjoyed a

 up of their new store. It will be one 

 of the largest flower stores in the coun- 

 try, if not tue largest one. 



The Swanson Floral Co. is doing well. 

 The peonies they cut this spring were 

 the finest seen in this locality. 



The florists have decided to hold their 

 annual picnic at Shakopee, July 21, 

 1906. They have engaged a steamboat 

 for the occasion. Prizes will be given 

 for the winners of different races, and 

 a good program has been arranged. All 

 twin city florists are cordially invited.

Rice Bros., wholesale florists, are satis- 

 fied with their season's work. Trade 

 is now quiet with them. 



Miss Whitted is doing nicely in her 

 new place and is well pleased with the 

 change. Her store is now one of t!ie 

 finest in the city. 



The New York Florist continues to 

 handle large numbers of carnations, but 

 no roses to speak of.

 Donaldsons' and the Powers Mercantile 

 Co., report good sales, principally on

Red Wing, Minn. — Trade is slow, al- 

 tliough funeral work is reported good 

 by the Humphrey Floral Store. This 

 store does much outside work, besides 

 a large business in vegetables. J. A. 

 Schunk, the former owner of this place, 

 fold to Mrs. Sarah P. Humphrey, and 



will leave for the west in a short time. 



The Sten Floral Co. reports trade 



good in plants and in a wholesale way. 



The state institution grounds present 

 a very neat appearance and reflect 

 credit on Mr. Larson.
