ST. PAUL. 



The Freezing, 



Veni, vedi, vici! I came, I saw, I con- 

 quered ! This was the song of Jack Frost 

 as he rode on a hurricane gale across the 

 northwest on Friday and Saturday of 

 last week. But the damage to floricul- 

 tural interests in this vicinity was not 

 great. A few early peonies and some 

 late tulips were ruined, but no bedding 

 work has been done, though there were 

 many demands for it in the heat pre- 

 ceding the cold. March and April have 

 been the driest on record, with less than 

 a quarter inch of moisture since March 1. 



Club Meeting. 



The regular monthly meeting of the 

 State Florists' Association was held in 

 Pillsbury hall at the State University 

 Tuesday evening, April 19. The report 

 of the flower show committee was pre- 

 sented and the premium list was printed 

 and ready for mailing. It contains some 

 good offers and ks the expenses and 

 premiums are backed up by a guarantee 

 fund of $15,000 raised by the Minne- 

 apolis florists and Commercial Club, a 

 successful show is assured. All intend- 

 ing exhibitors should communicate at 

 once with J. P. Jorgenson, secretary, 

 3500 Portland avenue, Minneapolis. 



Prof. Clemams, of the State Univer- 

 sity, gave an interesting talk on. land- 

 scape work, with especial reference to the 

 work at the university grounds. There 

 were no exhibits and after a discussion 

 of the paper by several present the asso- 

 ciation adjourned to meet in May. 



The executive committee met with the 

 State Fair directors and was assured of 

 a liberal increase in premiums and an 

 increase of space at this year's fair. 



Various Notes. 



Work on Holm & Olson's new range 

 is progressing finely and glazing will 

 soon begin. This additional range will 

 contain, about 18,000 square feet of glass 

 and will be devoted principally to mums, 

 Easter and bedding stock. 



The grand opera season the last half 

 of the week created some demand for 

 orchids, gardenias, sweet peas, valley, 

 etc. 



Spring weddings have been coming 

 along with clocklike regularity and 

 funeral work has been brisk. 



Otto "Will, formerly of Will Bros. Co., 

 Minneapolis, whose health was greatly 

 improved in California, is reported on 

 the way to recovery. His many friends 

 in the trade will be gratified to learn this 

 cheerful news. 



Holm & Olson had the decorations for 

 the opening of the new Hotel St. Paul, 

 using 6,000 American Beauties, aspara-
