ST. PAUL. 



The Market. 



The business for last week showed 

 a remarkable increase over the previous 

 week. "With the state fair on and the 

 city full of visitors, the retailers state 

 a fine business resulted. General busi- 

 ness was good, funeral work plentiful 

 and flowers for weddings were in de- 

 mand. Inside grown stock is coming in 

 fine, and the demand is large enough 

 to take care of the supply. Outside 

 stock has been more or less damaged 

 by the excessive rainfall the last month 

 and good stock is hard to get. 



Various Notes. 



Holm & Olson, St. Paul, made a clean 

 sweep of the blue ribbon prizes at the 

 Minnesota state fair held at Hamline 

 last week and captured every first 

 award out of the forty offered, with 

 the exception of the three in the dis- 

 play of asters and the three gladiolus 

 exhibits. F. A. Farr, St. Paul, took 

 two first prizes in asters, J. S. Farmer, 

 Minneapolis, one, and D. W. C. Euff, St. 

 Paul, took two first prizes for his dis- 

 play of gladioli, while J. S. Farmer 

 also got one in this class. Aug. S. 

 Swanson, of Minnetonka, acted as 

 judge and proved exceedingly efficient 

 in that capacity. Gus Malmquist, of 

 Minneapolis, assistant superintendent 

 of the floral division, stated that the 

 stock exhibited in the cut flower classes 

 was not as good as a year ago, but all 

 the plant exhibits were far ahead of the 

 previous years. 



The C. J. Haupt Florist Co., Concord 

 and South Robert streets, has just com- 

 pleted the erection of a fine new green- 

 house which will be devoted to bedding 

 stock. The balance of his plant is be- 

 ing remodeled and put in shape for the 

 winter season. 



Holm & Olson are displaying in 

 their windows the awards they received 

 at the state fair. This attracts con- 

 siderable attention. This firm fur- 

 nished and hung the southern smilax 

 used in the Horticultural building. 

 Thirty-five cases were used. 



The out-of-town florists visiting the 

 fair were C. Kinsman, Austin, Minn.; 

 N. Clarine, Faribault, Minn.; N. Neil- 

 sen, Mankato; W. R. Hall, Osage, Iowa; 

 J. J. Karins, representing Henry A. 

 Dreer, Philadelphia, and Henry H. Wen- 

 deroth, representing Nicholas Wapler, 

 New York. C. E. F.
