The Weekly Rorists^ Review* 



July 26, 190ti. 



TWIN QTIES. 



Trade is ijiiie} ami there is very little 

 doing outside of funeral work. Stock 

 is scarce, and good rosoH and carna- 

 tions are hard to get. Prices are be- 

 ing kept up nicely by tlie large dealers, 

 but the small ones will sell for what 

 they can get. 



The principal event among the trade 

 lately was the Twin City florists' picnic, 

 held Thursday, July 19. A general good 

 time was enjoyed by about 200 florists 

 and their families. 



Tlie steamer Hiawatha and barge were 

 chartered for the occasion and a most 

 enjoyable time was spent, in a run down 

 the Mississippi to Red Kock. The com- 

 mittee which managed the excursion was 

 composed of E. Nagel, R. A. Latham, C, 

 Henderson, of Minneapolis, and O. J. 

 Olson. Henry Puvogel, N. C. Hansen, 

 Carl Haugen, of St. Paul. Following 

 were the winners of the athletic events: 

 Boys' race < under 12 years) E. 

 Bergstrom; girls' race (under 12 

 years). Anastasia Dill; boys' race 

 (under 1(5 years), Louis Frangen; 

 young ladies' race, Helen Latham; 

 married ladies' nail driving con- 

 test, Mrs. Busch; obstacle race for 

 employees, Ueorge Radtz; 100-yard dash 

 for employers, O. J. Olson; shooting con- 

 test, Carl Peterson; prize waltz on boat, 

 Julius Neutzling and Miss Guerenz; 

 mother's race, JNIrs. CJeorzmeier. The 

 liowliug contest l)etween the St. Paul 

 and Minneapolis teams will take place 

 later. The trade should not forget the 

 local merchants who so generously con- 

 tributed to the success of the picnic. 



The trade wishes to sympathize with 

 Carl Johnson, manager of the cut 

 flower department of the Powers Mer- 

 cantile Co., Minneapolis, in the death of 

 his wife, which occurred at Bethesda 

 hospital. St. Paul, Friday, July 20.
