ST. PAUL, MINN. 



The Market. 



Another Easter has passed into his- 

 tory and another sales record has been 

 established. Good stock and ideal 

 weather up to Friday night were the 

 prime factors in swelling sales to a new 

 mark. It was essentially a "plant 

 Easter," with everything in bloom sell- 

 ing well. Lilies, as a rule, were hardly 

 as good as in previous years, many of 

 them being short. Some fine hydran- 

 geas were seen, while azaleas averaged 

 good. There was an abundance of 

 Baby Ramblers, and a limited supply 

 of Tausendschon roses proved the 

 best sellers of all. Rhododendrons 

 were fairly plentiful and in good de- 

 mand. The usual amount of bulb- 

 ous stock, primulas, spiraeas and the 

 like, were in evidence and sold readily. 

 In marked contrast to last year's de- 

 mand, there was but little call for bas- 

 kets. Chiffon was used freely in dress- 

 ing up baskets and plants. 



In cut flowers violets were, as usual, 

 in greatest demand. The local supply 

 was inadequate to meet the demand 

 and many thousands were shipped in 

 from Milwaukee. Carnations and Beau- 

 ties sold fairly well, but other roses 

 went begging for a buyer. 



Various Notes. 



Miss O'Keefe had an overflow store 

 on Fifth street, near her regular stand. 



T. B. Coumandros had an extra store 

 opposite his permanent stand in the 

 Golden Rule. 



Otto Hiersekorn has sold his store 

 business on East Seventh street to Fred 

 W. Topel. It is understood Mr. Hier- 

 sekorn will take a much-needed rest. 



X. Y. Z. 



Waterbury, Conn. — Saxe & Floto have 

 engaged Lewis Smith as manager of 

 their new branch store, on Bank street. 



Wheeling, W. Va. — Beverly Wicham, 

 of Triadelphia, has accepted a position 

 with Max Hess, the florist at Mount 

 Calvary. 



Bluffton, Ind. — M. S. Weicking has 

 sold his greenhouse establishment to 

 D. L. Reynolds, taking as part payment 

 100 acres of land near Wapool, Canada.
