TVIN QTIES. 



The Market 



Trade is quiet, but better than it was 

 last year at this time. Stock is scarce 

 and inferior, and prices are low. 



Asters have started in nicely, but 

 seem to sell only fairly well. Tigrum 

 lilies are used extensively, both in de- 

 signs and in counter sales. Funeral 

 work seems to be about all that is being 

 done. One of our dealers had a nice 

 wedding decoration recently. Young 

 roses are looking well, and if one can 

 judge from the plants in their present 

 condition, we can expect good cuts from 

 the larger growers. 



The excessive heat the last few weeks 

 has been hard on the greenhouse help, 

 and where large crews are employed, 

 some are sick at nearly every place*. 



Minneapolis. 



The department stores appear to be 

 doing the most business. Trade is quiet 

 around the florists' stores. Ralph 

 Latham reports a good trade in the 

 cut flower line. 



The New York Floral Co. is ap- 

 parently doing a fair business; their 

 stock is kept up well. 



Oscar Amundson ha.s Jiad some nice 

 design work of late, and says he is satis- 

 fied, considering the season. 



St. Paul. 



The Twin City bowlers have arranged 

 to have their contest Friday, August 3, 

 in St. Paul, at Pfister's bowling alleys. 

 A fine lot of prizes are oflfered, consist- 

 ing mainly of contributions from the 

 florists' friends in other lines of busi- 

 ness. The ladies will also have a chance 

 to show their skill in this line. After 

 the contest lunch will be served and a 

 good time is expected. 



Ashton K. Kerschner. formerly with 

 the State Nursery, Helena, Montana, 

 has been in this vicinity for the last 

 few weeks. 



F. Vogt and Henry Puvogel have been 

 busy the last four days entertaining 

 their Saengerfest friends. The decora- 

 tions for the Saengerfest in the floral 

 line did not amount to much. 



Holm & Olson's new store will be in 

 readiness within a short time. It will 

 give them a large floor space. 



L. L. May & Co. turned out consider- 

 able funeral work last week, and were 

 short of stock a part of the time.
