TheWeekly Florists' Review^ 



November 28, 1001. 



MILWAUKEE. 



C. C. Pollwortli leturned from the 

 north and reports that green pickinj; lias 

 ceased, owing to hea^■y snow in some 

 localities. This will undoubtedly cause 

 a rise in the price of green. 



Mr. Pollworth also put in several days 

 deer hunting and succeeded in killing 

 two fine bucks weighing over 200 pounds 

 each. 



It is reported that H. V. HuiJvel will 

 be married shortly. 



John Evans, of Richmond, Ind., and A. 

 C. Brown, of Brown & Canfield, Spring- 

 field, 111., were recent visitors. 



The past week was one of continued 

 darkness and the outlook for good sup- 

 ply of stock for Thanksgiving is not 

 very bright. The principal shortage 

 will be in carnations and violets. Some 

 good Bonnaflon are still coming in and 

 there are still enough mums of inferior 

 grade to go around. In roses, Brides- 

 maid shows the effect of dark weather, 

 being light in color and soft. Shipping 

 demand is brisk and prices firm. 



A noticeable feature in the trade this 

 fall was the light demand and low 

 prices on mum plants, which was very 

 discouraging to the growers. There is 

 some talk of trying to hold a mum show 

 next fall to stinuilate demand. 



W. G. Schucht. representing C. C. 

 Pollworth Co., writes from Delaware 

 stating that choice holly is not over- 

 plentiful and in many sections it is 

 poorly berried. 



H. Macherey has opened a store on 

 Third street. This makes four stores 

 within a few blocks in this locality.

DUTY ON METAL DESIGNS. 



Under a decision of the United States 

 General Appraisers at New York, de- 

 livered Nov. 19, "Memorial designs, con- 

 sisting of wreaths or garlands composed 

 of metal, or of metal and porcelain, 

 painted to imitate the natural growths 

 and designed for use in the ornamenta- 

 tion of vaults and graves, are dutiable 

 as artificial leaves and flowers, under 

 paragraph 42.j, act of Julv 24, 1807. — 

 G. A. G47 and G. A. 2444 "followed." 



The duty in this class is 50 per cent 

 ad valorem. The importers claimed they 

 were dutiable at 45 per cent luider para- 

 graph lO.'i. or at 20 per cent under sec- 

 tion 6. Their protest was overruled. 



REMOVING SHADING. 



Will some one tell nic how to most 

 economically clean glass of shading that 

 was composed of whiting and kerosene? 



S. P. 



Burlington, Vt. — The annual flower 

 show at the Armory was very successful. 

 The principal exhibitors from other cities 

 were the Waban Rose Conservatories, of 

 Natick, Mass.; the Cottage Gardens, of 

 Queens, L. I.; the Florham Farms, of 

 Madison, N. J.; E. W. Pierce & Co., of 

 Walthani, Mass.; Lager & Hurrell, of 

 Summit, N. J., and Mrs. Billings, of 

 Woodstock. Lager & Hurrell showed a 

 collection of orchids that surpassed any- 

 thing of the kind ever seen here before. 



Erie, Pa. — S. Alfred Baur made a 

 special display of chrysanthemums at his 

 store last week that attracted many visit- 

 ors and which was greatly praised by 

 the local press.

Freeport, III. — A chrysanthemiim 

 show was held here last week under the 

 auspices of a local society, most of the

 been decided to hold another show next 

 year and to offer premiums for both pro- 

 fessional florists and amateurs. 



The Review is always a welcome vis- 

 itor, and saves me many times its cost 

 in a year. — G. M. Thost, De Soto, Mo.
