SPHAGNUM MOSS. 



Sphagnum Moss, put up in n*w form. We 

 are strictly headquarters on Sphagnum. A 

 great improvement in baling Sphagnum Moss 

 has been achieved in baling it more com- 

 pressed than in the old method of the burlap 

 bales. These bales contain the same amount 

 of moss as burlap bales, but are only about 

 one-third the size, making it much more con- 

 venient in handling and storing. Dry 

 weight 30 to 40 lbs. This is strictly high grade 

 moss, clean and free from sticks. Directions 

 for Use: — Do not undertake to pull the Moss 

 apart when dry. When opening the Moss for 

 use, cut the wires and pour water on one of 

 the sides of the bale covered by slats and you 

 will find the fiber is uninjured, and that the 

 Moss will shake out loose and fresh as when 

 gathered from the marsh. The compactness 

 of the bale excludes the air and makes the 

 keeping qualities, as well as its convenience, 

 far superior to the old methods of baling Moss. 

 Jas. Vick's Sons, Florists and Seedsmen, Roch- 

 ester, N. Y., write us: "We followed your di- 

 rections in cutting wires and wetting down the 

 Moss, and it is the finest sample we have ever 

 used, perfectly free from roots and other mat- 

 ter." Price per bale, $1.00; 6 bales, $5.00; 10 

 bales, $7.50. Write for prices on large quanti- 

 ties. McKellar & Winterson, 40, 47, 49 Wabash 

 Ave., Chicago. 



We are now gathering Sphagnum Moss for 

 the Florist trade and will have none but the 

 best. Give us a trial order and see if we do 

 not send you just what you need. Will quote 

 prices as low as possible on live Sphagnum 

 for growing Orchids, etc.

MILWAUKEE. 



A brief visit to Milwaukee during 

 the excitement of Carnival week found 

 the native florists in a condition of ex- 

 ultation; stores decorated and every 

 one in holiday dress, including some 

 of the prominent members of the craft. 



In the unique masquerade proces- 

 sion, Mr. Pollworth drove an Irish 

 jaunting car and disguised in galways 

 and a corncob pipe was too Celtic for 

 ordinary recognition. 



The "Flower Parade" was the event 

 ■of the week from a florist's standpoint, 

 and it certainly was a magnificent 

 spectacle; but as few natural flowers 

 "were used, the trade benefited little 

 by the display. Paper flowers of all 

 kinds, sizes and colors, were artisti- 

 cally used, and there were about fifty 

 of the finest "turnouts" of the city, lav- 

 ishly decorated. It was a beautiful 

 picture, and the presence of Col. 

 Roosevelt at the head of the proces- 

 sion, caused a continuous ovation. 

 Quite a number of florists from all 

 parts of Wisconsin were in the city 

 during the week. The evening of 

 Thursday was a "corker." The "free- 

 dom of the city" was given to every 



inhabitant, and the "strangers" were 

 handled "without gloves." 



It was a great week for Milwaukee, 

 the decorations and illuminations were 

 superb, and over 100,000 visitors at- 

 tested the growing popularity of these 

 annual carnivals. 



There seems to be no regular Flor- 

 ists' Bowling Club in Milwaukee, but 

 still the state expects to be repre- 

 sented at Detroit, and Mr. Pollworth 

 has the ambition to think he can cap- 

 tain a winning team there. 



About a dozen of the florists of Mil- 

 waukee will be at the Detroit conven- 

 tion, and a goodly number from the 

 state. 



Adam Zender of Rogers Park, was 

 a guest of Holton & Hunkel Co., dur- 

 ing the week, and seemed to be enjoy- 

 ing his outing. This house handles 

 all the product of his extensive estab- 

 lishment. Both the wholesale houses 

 report a very successful season, last- 

 ing steadily up to the end of June. 



W. A. Kennedy has his greenhouses 

 in good condition and filled with the 

 newest and best varieties of carna- 

 tions. He intends planting 1,500 of the 

 new rose Liberty and many of the 

 other western growers are making ar- 



rangements for the testing of this 

 grand new rose in lots of 1,000 and up- 

 wards. 



Currie Bros, were very busy during 

 Carnival week, with city decorations. 

 Mr. Edlefsen reports the best season 

 he has ever had, and Mr. Freytag, 

 with the new greenhouses he is puild- 

 ing, will soon have all the facilities 

 needed for his growing trade. 



Mr. Whitnall is very busy with land- 

 scape and decorative work. 



Miss Edlefsen leaves in a few days 

 for Pittsburg, for her well deserved 

 vacation. A. 



PITTSBURG. 



W. F. Kasting & Co. received 3,000 

 fine American Beauties in eight weeks 

 from one of their growers, all of which 

 were sold in this city and vicinity. 

 They report an excellent business in 

 florists' supplies. 



SPOKANE, WASH.— The tenth an- 

 nual rose fair was very successful, 

 though owing to the fact roses are a 

 month late this year the display was 

 not so large as last season.
