Ball, in west St. Paul, lost all he had, 600 feet. Chas Uudereker lost about 400. The Oakland cemetery lost all on the west side of the house— 1,000 feet, and sustained a great damage to plants as well. H. Schulte lost about I,cxx3, and II. Krinkle 500. The total loss for this city foots up to more than 30,000 feet, to say nothing of the market gardeners, who lost heavily iu both glass and plants. The storm did not strike Minneapolis quite so hard, though considerable glass was broken there. As far as learned there was no insurance. C. F. Mantey intends to go out of business and is offering his place for sale. The objection florists iu this section of the country have to the F. H. A. is that it does not insure against loss of plants as well as glass. They think that if they can stand the loss of time and plants they can also stand the first cost of the glass. It seems to some of us that an as- sociation might be organized on the plan of the companies now insuring farmers here against loss of crops by hail. The general trade outlook for spring is quite promising. AuG. S. Swanson. A RARE OFFER Sgw Hants of 1887. ^^z Igw Hants for fl2.
