The Weekly Florists' Review. 



Mabch 5, 1908. 



ST. PAUL. 



The Florists' Qub. 



The Twin City Florists' aud Garden- 

 ers' Club lield its first field day at the 

 seed and greenhouse establishment of L. 

 L. May & Co., February 26. The new 

 concrete warehouse, a model of its kind, 

 was thoroughly inspected. The methods 

 of putting up the seed, filling orders, etc., 

 were thoroughly gone over and explained 

 and the details of the business shown to 

 the visitors. The furnace is fed auto- 

 matically by a Murphy stoker, Illinois 

 screenings being used, which cost, laid 

 down in the bin, about $2 per ton. A 

 sidetrack runs to the warehouse, where 

 all shipments are received and all out 

 freight loaded. The steam for heating 

 is conveyed in conduits under two streets 

 to the greenhouses. In the greenhouses 

 stock was found in nice shape. A general 

 line of roses, carnations, bulbs, Easter 

 plants, etc., is grown here, as well as a 

 full line of bedding plants. In carna- 

 tions. Enchantress easily leads all others, 

 while Killarney does the best in the rose 

 section. 



The committee appointed to confer 

 with the state fair managers reported; 

 two new members were added to it and 

 instructions were given to continue the 

 work. The state fair board has offered 

 to prepare the beds for an outside dis- 

 play of bedding plants, to take care of 

 them during the summer and to allow 

 the florists to prepare the premium list.
