ST. PAUL, mAtN". 



The Market. 



Business last week showed a remarka< 

 ble increase, with several prominent 

 funeials, among them that of former 

 United States Senator Washburn, of 

 Minneapolis, and a few weddings. Busi- 

 ness in general showed up well. 



We are having ideal weather for all 

 outside stock, and a number of the re- 

 tailers have stated that never has bet- 

 ter outside stock appeared on this mar- 

 ket. So, with the best of stock to draw 

 from and a demand equal to the sup- 

 ply, the retailers are well satisfied with 

 this season's business. 



Various Notes. 



William Swanson, 2300 West Seventh 

 street, is remodeling his entire place 

 and has his planting well under way. 

 He contemplates building a few mor^ 

 houses this summer. 



The Boardman Greenhouses, a firm 

 that built its first houses last year, is 

 adding three new houses, two of them 

 27x125 and the other 30x125. These 

 houses are being constructed by the 

 Moninger Co. They will be planted to 

 roses, violets, mums and sweet peas. 

 This firm grows principally for the 

 wholesale market and readily disposes 

 of all the stock that is grown. 



The Bamaley Floral Exchange has 

 been the victim of a bogus check game. 

 A well dressed young man came to the 

 store and, after inquiring the price of 

 the various flowers, left an order for $1. 

 He directed his purchase to be delivered 

 to a well known office building at a 

 specified time, with instructions to send 

 with the boy change for $10. As the 

 boy came into the entrance of the build- 

 ing he was approached by the stranger, 

 who asked as to his flowers. The man 

 gave the boy a worthless check for $10, 

 after getting the $9 in change. The boy 

 was then told to take the flowers to the 

 address given in thd building. When the 

 boy arrived at the given address, no one 

 was there to accept the flowers. In the 

 meantime the stranger had made his 

 get-away with $9 of Mr. Bamaley 's 

 money. C. B. F. 



Bockford, HI. — Leake & Offord are 

 ^aujccessors to the Edwin Dempsey Co., 

 at 1010 Corbin street, and will carry on 

 business as landscape gardeners as well 

 as florists. Their greenhouses are at 

 Corbin and Kent streets. Mr. Leake 

 was formerly with the B. Eldredge Co., 

 of the Fairview Greenhouses, Belvidere,
