ST. PAUL. 



State of Trade. 



There is no reason to complain about 

 Thanksgiving trade. Everybody was busy 

 and nearly everything salable was dis- 

 posed of; it is hard to say which was the 

 best seller. Roses were plentiful, except 

 in red. Carnations fell short of the de- 

 mand. Violets were in fair supply and 

 good demand. Mums were cleaned out 

 and their season is practically ended in 

 this market. Beauties partook of the 

 general call and sold well. 



The holiday spirit is now in the air 

 and, while sales fluctuate widely, the av- 

 erage is good. Social events have been 

 numerous this fall and the flower busi- 

 ness good in consequence. Country busi- 

 ness has been brisk and funeral flowers 

 in great demand. 



Various Notes. 



The death of three prominent men in 

 one day last week created a great de- 

 mand for flowers. Holm & Olson had a 

 heavy business at the close of the week, 

 mostly for Masonic designs. 



The weather has been ideal for the 

 growers and they are all getting into 

 line for a big crop at Christmas. 



O. J. Olson and G. A. Clausen returned 

 from their moose hunting trip a few 

 days since, bringing in one fine buck 

 and some smaller game. 



Holm & Olson banqueted their em- 

 ployees Friday evening, November 29. 

 There were twenty-one at the table at 

 the Norden Club, where a fine dinner of 

 seven courses was served. The afifair 

 was informal and highly enjoyable. O. J. 

 Olson presided as toastmaster.

WASHINGTON. 



There was a decided improvement in 

 business last week. 



Some fine late chrysanthemums, such 

 as Nonin and white and yellow Jones, 

 are to be seen in the windows. 



Violets were never better and there 

 is a good demand for them. 



Gudes' are cutting some exceptionally 

 fine Enchantress carnations. 



At the Grant-Root wedding 10,000 gar- 

 denias were used, sent from Mexico. 



The usual floral display was missed 

 at the opening of Congress. Speaker 

 Cannon issued his orders: "No flowers 

 on the members' desks." When the new 

 buildings, now in course of construction, 

 and the offices for the senators and the

but a good, honest, free and ever-blooming clear white carnation. 

 Very easily rooted, very fragrant, excellent keeper and shipper. 

 Size and stem of Enchantress, with the freedom of bloom of Mc- 

 Gowen; no cropper — always in bloom. Come and see it and 

 give it a trial. Once grown, you will not grow any other.

The Karden committee of the MasBacbusetts Horticnltural Society recently visited the 

 greenfaouses of H. A. Jshn, of New Bedford, to see bis carDations. A white seedling; which 

 is largely planted and which has been shown at Bofiton and other shows, was looking flne. 

 It 1b the most wonderfully prolific white the committee bad seen. The flower is large, fall 

 and the stem ideal.— Boston News-letter In Nov. 28, 1907, issue of The Plobists' Review.
