The Weekly Florists' Review. 



SEPTEMBER 1. 1S98. 



MILWAUKEE. 



Business is showing a slight im- 

 provement owing probably to favora- 

 ble weather and the opening of the 

 theater season. In roses Kaiserin and 

 Meteor are the best and new crops of 

 Perles, Brides and Maids are also com- 

 ing in. but short stemmed and rather 

 soft. 



In carnations Scott seems to be the- 

 best in field grown stock. 



C. C. Pollworth and Nic Zweifel have 

 returned from Omaha after taking a 

 side trip west after the convention. 

 Many of the stay-at-home florists re- 

 gret" not making the trip to Omaha 

 after hearing and reading the reports 

 of the pleasant times had by their 

 brethren. Detroit being more conven- 

 ient for the next meet a larger dele- 

 gation can be looked for from here. 

 A bowling team will probably be in 

 the field for the Evans cup next year. 



Wm. Edlefsen is building a few new 

 houses at his North Milwaukee place 

 and has also added a conservatory in 

 the rear of his retail establishment 

 on Third street. Geo. Volk intends 

 opening up a flower store on Milwau- 

 kee sti'eet, which will make four flor- 

 ists in one block. Otto Sylvester was 

 in from Oconomowoc purchasing glas.-; 

 for four new houses. 



Mr. M. Rice, of Philadelphia, was a 

 recent caller. GEO. W.
