ST. PAUL. 



The Market. 



St. Paul florists have had a busy week. 

 The funeral of our lamented Governor 

 Johnson called for the most lavish dis- 

 play of flowers ever seen at such an 

 occasion in this city. All the local 

 florists had more or less, but Holm 

 & Olson and May & Co. had the greater 

 number. Among the more prominent 

 were the following: The seal of Min- 

 nesota in colors, this being a round 

 shield six feet in height, bordered with 

 magnolia leaves and the figures in the 

 seal worked out in carnations, asters, 

 dahlias and immortelles; a standing 

 cascade wreath, four feet high; a large 

 panel of American Beauties, valley and 

 orchids; another large panel from the 

 Ely schools; large anvil of ivy leaves; 

 large anchor; map of state; large shield 

 from the city of Virginia ; colossal broken 

 column; many large wreaths, one six 

 feet high, made of asters, garlanded with 

 Golden Gate roses and valley and holding 

 four dozen American Beauties; several 

 large panels; large pillows; crescent and 

 grip from the U. C. T. ; a large number 

 of bunches of American Beauties, also 

 large sprays of white mums and many 

 other beautiful bunches and designs. 



These designs were sent from all points 

 of the compass. Thomas Lawson sent an 

 immense standing wreath. Governor 

 Hughes sent a magnolia wreath, with a 

 cluster of roses. Friends in the city 

 sent hundreds of tokens. The proprietor 

 of the Chinese restaurant, where the gov- 

 ernor ate occasionally, sent a wreath. 

 Every department at the state capital 

 remembered its chief, while thousands of 

 the common people shed bitter tears of 

 grief as their tribute to the man they 

 loved and revered. 



The decorations for the Taf t reception 

 consisted of autumn leaves, cedar fes- 

 tooning and large bouquets of hydran- 

 geas, while the centerpiece on the tables 

 were hydrangeas, salvia and Clematis 

 paniculata. The President's table was 

 a round one surrounding an electric 

 fountain, the fountain bordered by Gol- 

 den Glow mums and salvia. This decora- 

 tion was done by Holm & Olson iand was 

 repeated for the reception to the Japanese 

 delegation of business men. 



The Donaldson Co., Minneapolis, had 

 the decorations for the Taft reception. 

 The tables were lavishly trimmed with 

 Richmond and Beauty roses.

Qub Meeting. 



The regular monthly meeting of the 

 State Florists' Association was held 

 Tuesday evening, September 21. The 

 night being stormy, the attendance was 

 smaller than usual, but some new faces 

 were there, which was encouraging to the 

 officers. 



A communication from the secretary 

 of the State Horticultural Society con- 

 tained an invitation to attend its an- 

 nual meeting, in December, and to par- 

 ticipate in the program. This invitation
