ST. PAUL. 



The Market. 



The Christmas spirit has pervaded the 

 air, which means that everyone connected 

 with the trade has been busy. And all 

 this bustle and activity has meant good 

 business for one week, at least. 



There have been plenty of doings all 

 the month. Society has bestirred itself, 

 and the usual lull before the holidays 

 has not been apparent this season, for 

 receptions, balls, parties and weddings 

 have followed one another in close suc- 

 cession. 



The switchmen's strike has tied up 

 traflSc somewhat, so that holly shipments 

 have been late, while the intense cold 

 was liable to damage this much used 

 'Iccorative. Express shipments were de- 

 layed and in several instances were 

 frozen. Whether the express companies 

 vill be responsible for the losses remains 

 to be seen. 



Club Meetinf. 



The State Florists' Association held 

 3ts monthly meeting December 14. There 

 was a good attendance, a good display 

 of exhibits and an interesting program. 



Professor Freeman, of the State Agri- 

 cultural School, spoke on "The Fungous 

 Diseases of Plants," illustrating his lec- 

 ture witli several specimens. Many 

 questions were asked and many points 

 discussed, and all went home with the 

 belief that they had received valuable in- 

 formation. 



The following exhibits were staged: 

 By L. S. Donaldson Co., cyclamen plants; 

 by Will Bros., White Enchantress, Eose- 

 pink Enchantress and Beacon carnation 

 blooms; by Hiawatha Gardens, begonias 

 and cyclamens; by Holm & Olson, Lor- 

 raine, Gertrude and Agatha begonias, 

 ■cyclamen and poinsettia plants. 



An entertainment committee was ap- 

 pointed to arrange for a ball to be given 

 in Minneapolis. 



Various Notes. 



The Holland travelers are with us 

 again, each telling of the superiority of 

 his bulbs. Charles Schwake, of New 

 York, was also a recent caller. X. Y. Z.

Nephrolepis Elegantissima Compacta 



Another New Fern Orifirlnatinfl; with us Introduced fall 1009 



Of all the valuable introductions in ferns that we have sent out, beg;inninK with the Piersou 

 (Nephrolepis Fiersoni). we consider the BleKantlsslma compacta the most valuable of 

 all, particalarly from a commercial standpoint. 



While this resembles EleKamissima In a general way, it is far superior to that variety, on 

 account of its perfect habit. Yet it can hardly be compared with EleKantissima in a general 

 wav, because it occupies a place by itself and is as distinct from Elegantissima as that variety 

 is from Piersoni— in fact, it bears the same relation to Elegantissima that Scottii does to 

 Bostoniensis. Blcgantisslma compacta has an ideal habit. The fronds are considerably 

 shorter than those of Elegantissima, and it is a more compact plant. It throws a great many 

 more crowns naturally, making a very bushy, dwarf, compact plant. The difference between 

 the two varieties may be seen at a glance. 



Fine, strong plants, 2^-in. pots, VS.OO per doz.. $30.00 per 100; 4-in. pots, $7.50 per doz., 

 $S0.00 per 100; 6-in. pans, $1.50 each; 8-in. pans. $3.00 each. 



We make a specialty of all kinds of Nepbrolepla. carrying a large stock of all sizes at all 

 times-Piersoni, Elegantissima, Superbissima, Bostoniensis, Scottii, Whitmani, Amerpohlii, etc.
