STarious Notes. 



The state fair was held last week. The 

 space for floral exhibits was small and 

 poor, so that not many exhibits were 

 shown. Holm & Olson, of this city, and 

 J. Vasatka, of Minneapolis, had the 

 plant exhibits; Souden & Desmond, R. A. 

 Latham and J. Vasatka the table decora- 

 tions. The weather was quite warm, and 

 bouquets and decorations wilted quickly. 



The Greeks have opened a flower 

 department in a new department store 

 here. 



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

 been fishing and hunting the last fort- 

 night, bringing in plenty of fish and 

 ducks. Carl Haugen and E. F. Lemke 

 were hunting also, many birds falling be- 

 fore their guns. 



The following called during the week: 

 R. Lutey, of Ironwood, Mich.; Edw. 

 Reid, of Philadelphia; J. J. Karins, of 

 Philadelphia; E. J. Fancourt, represent- 

 ing Pennock-Meehan Co., Philadelphia; 

 and A. N. Eansman, of Austin.

Qub Meeting:. 



At the last meeting of the Florists' 

 Club, September 8, at S. N. Peck's store, 

 the chrysanthemum committee handed in 

 a report, which was accepted. Mr. Peck 

 gave the club an interesting talk on his 

 last trip to Chicago, especially about his 

 visit to Peter Reinberg's and to the Chi- 

 cago flower market. He also told of an 

 experience he had with a piece of fyineral 

 work. Some railroad men ordered a 30- 



inch gates ajar from him for a dead fel- 

 low worker, which he made up and sent 

 with a^ card from the railroad men — and 

 also with the lettering, ' ' Our Comrade, ' ' 

 at the base. A relative of the dead rail- 

 roa^r had also ordered a 20-inch gates 

 fwin some other florist, so when she re- 

 ceived the two at the house she changed 

 pe cards but did not change the letter- 

 ,ing. When the railroad men's committee 

 called she drew their attention to the 

 [ nice design she sent and the small one that 



they sent. Next day, enter Messrs. Rail- 

 road Men at Peck's, badly disappointed. 

 It was the first time they had dealt with 

 him. Exit to the cemetery, where the 

 change in design is detected. Mr. Peck 

 is cleared, but we don't know yet about 

 the relative. 



The club has two meetings a month 

 now, on the second and fourth Wednes- 

 days of each month. The next meeting 

 is September 22, at Kuhnke's green- 

 houses. E. A. K.
