The Weekly Florists' Review, 



MILWAUKEE. 



Trade for Decoration Day was very 

 brisk and stock of all description was 

 prettv well cleaned up. Carnations 

 <?onstituted the bulk of the supply, al- 

 though roses were corning in in large 

 quantities but of inferior quality, and 

 much sorting out had to be done on 

 stock for shipping orders. Noarly all 

 trops were on, so it was difficult to 

 maintain list prices, and considerahle 

 stock was moved at low figures. What 

 fakirs there are here did a large busi- 

 ness, as the grade of flowers they han- 

 dle were suitable for the decoration of 

 graves, and cheap flowers were looked 

 for. Outdoor stock was also in its 

 prime, valley and paeonies coming in 

 from the south in sufficient naantity to 

 meet all demands for it. Some llarrisii 

 and longiflorums were in the market, 

 but sales did not come up to expecta- 

 tions. 



Good roses are now extremely 

 scarce, much stock coming in badly 

 mildewed and soft. Carnations are 

 plentiful and sell at 50 cents to $1 per 



lIM). 



Spring bedding stock sold well, espe- 

 ■cially geraniums, and good plants are 

 bard to obtain in quantity now. The 

 -season is now nearing the close, but 

 no preparations are being made in the 

 way of additional building around 

 bere, owing probably to the h'gh price 

 of glass. 



W. A. Kennedy has moved his fam- 

 ily and household effects here from 

 Lake Forest and is now a full-fledged 

 Milwaukeean.

 In the advertising columns of this 

 number appears a photographic repro- 

 duction of the first page of a recent 

 issue of the American Journal of 

 Health in which appears a remarkably 

 warm editorial commendation of the 

 Excelsior Brand of Plant Food offered 

 by the Walker Fertilizer Co.. Clifton 

 Springs, N. Y. It is not often that 

 such an important journal devotes 

 over a column of its editorial page to 

 an expression of opinion regarding a 

 manufactured article.
