son from voting the stock belonging to 

 his sister, Vera, with whom he had a 

 contract the court refused to enforce, 

 but restrains him from interfering in 

 the affairs of the company. At a stock- 

 holders ' meeting held the same afternoon 

 the Fish people came into full control.

The Market 



Trade kept up remarkably well until 

 October 10 and then experienced a severe 

 slump. As a consequence the market has 

 been overstocked on almost everything. 

 Roses are the biggest glut on the mar- 

 ket. There is also an abundance of car- 

 nations. Mums are equal to the demand, 

 and the few single violets coming in are 

 sold on sight. 



Society seems to be at a standstill and 

 the demand for funerals is about all that 

 keeps business moving. We look for an 

 improvement from now on. 



Qub Meeting;. 



The regular monthly meeting of the 

 Minnesota Florists' Association was held 



on Tuesday evening, October 20, There 

 was an increased attendance over the 

 previous meeting, though the night was 

 rainy. A. J. Smith, of the Lake- 

 wood cemetery greenhouses, exhibited 

 Schroeter's pink carnation, a large bloom, 

 two shades darker than Enchantress, on 

 long, stiff stems. It looks like a winner. 

 He also exhibited White Enchantress. In 

 mums he showed Touset, Halliday and 

 Virginia Poehlmann. He had a vase of 

 Brides and Maids, which were very good, 

 considering the poor houses in which they 

 were grown. The committee on exhibits 

 awarded the exhibit a diploma. 



Louis Boeglin, of the Minneapolis park 

 greenhouses, exhibited saintpaulia and 

 streptocarpus plants, in bloom, and gave 

 a short talk on the way he grew them. 



A lively interest in the meeting was 

 manifest throughout, which is encourag- 

 ing to the oflScers. 



Some twelve or fifteen from the Twin 

 Cities announced their intention of at- 

 tending the national flower show next 

 month. 



The subject for the next meeting is 



chrysanthemums. A. J. Smith will read 

 a paper on the culture of them and J. P. 

 Jorgenson will give his impressions of 

 the Chicago show. 



Various Notes. 



Our recent callers were A. N. Kins- 

 man, of Austin, and Fred Chapman, of

Condition of Business. 



Funeral orders last week were, in one 

 sense of the expression, the only thing 

 that kept the bottom from dropping out 

 of business. Stock, as it generally seems 

 in slack times, was abundant, and the 

 quality was fine. But in order to keep 

 it on the move and rob the ash-barrel, 

 it was necessary to let it ,go at very 

 moderate prices. Trade still continues 

 to be quiet, but our florists are antici- 

 pating a much better business toward the 

 end of the week, on account of November 

 1 being All Souls' day. 



The weather has been simply ideal;
