The Weekly Florists' Review* 



NOVEMBER 2, 1S99. 



MILWAUKEE. 



The Market. 



The warm and bright weather has 

 brought in stock of all kinds faster 

 than it could be disposed of. Roses 

 suffered mostly and the advent of the 

 mums made the market stil more de- 

 moralized, and prices were anything 

 but firm. 



Beauties are somewhat discolored 

 and must now give way to the Queen 

 of Autumn. Carnations and violets are 

 also coming in more freely, but prices 

 still remain firm, as supply is not 

 much over demand. Some fine cosmos 

 are also in the market. Much of the 

 rose stock is mildewed and goes at a 

 low figure; good shipping stock is 

 short of supply. Prices range from 

 $1 per 100 to $5 per 100; carnations av- 

 erage up about $1 per 100; violets, 50 

 cents to $1; mums, [ordinary to fancy, 

 fl to $2.50 per dozen; smilax is scarce 

 and readily brings IS cents per string. 



Bowling. 



Many of the boys have been bowl- 

 ing on the quiet and at the meeting 

 last Friday night some cup winning 

 scores were made. These games are 

 but preliminary games for the match 

 with Chicago during the mum show. 

 Unless strange alleys turn the tables, 

 Chicago will have to do some bowling 

 to keep from being "also other bowl- 

 ers." The following are the scores: 



1st. 2d. 3d. Av.

W. A. Kennedy 108 127 145 127 



Otto Sylvester, who is also on the 

 Milwaukee team, writes in from 

 Oconomowoe of having made a 236 

 score last week. Ben. Gregory is also 

 in line and his bowling is as good as 

 his original step. GEO. W.
