 a moneymaker for the grower. It commands the highest price. Our stock is large and in grand 

 shape. "No order is too large or too small for us to fill. 95.00 per 100 ; $40.00 per 1000.

MILWAUKEE. 



, Up to the pre.sent writing indications 

 point to an enormous Christmas busi- 

 ness. Stock is coming in about equal to 

 demand with quality in both roses and 

 carnations far superior to that for for- 

 mer holidays. Prices rule hiarher, es- 

 pecially on high grade stock. In roses, 

 red led the call and good ifeteor and 

 Liberty ranged from $15 to $25 per 100. 

 Carnations, fancy scarlet, $8: other col- 

 ors in fancy sorts averaged $0, while 

 some of the old standards went at $4 to 

 $5 per 100. Violets were extremely 

 scarce and brought $2 to $2.50 per 100. 

 Romans, paper whites and stevias were 

 plentiful and no reasonable offers were 

 overlooked. 



In blooming plants. .Jerusalem cherry 

 and ])rimroses ])redominated. and a fine 

 lot of azaleas brought in at tire right 

 time by Chas. Kitzcrow went like hot 

 cakes. The cold weather retarded holly 

 sales some, but the past few warm days 

 made up for lost time and the ('. C. Poll- 

 worth Co. disposed of two lielated car- 

 loads in short order. Green in bulk was 

 scarce, but there came in at tlie last mo- 

 ment a surprising lot of wreathing, which 

 earlier in the season would have brought 

 much l)etter returns. 



Jlrs. Knnis, the Grand avenue florist, 

 has tilted up a neat little store for the 

 holidays and may remain there jierma- 

 nently. 



Wm Kdlefsen brought in a fine lot of 

 poinsettias and none will W left over.

THE SAN JOSE SCALE. 



It is rc|iorted that the long-sought 

 original habitat of the San Jose scale has 

 been discovered just south of the great 

 wall in China. Also that a species of 

 lady bird beetle feeds upon the scale 

 and living specimens of this beetle are 

 now on their way to the Agricultural 

 Department at Washington to be used 

 in e\|ierimenting. If the beetle feeds 

 \ipon the scale as reported and will re 

 produce itself freely here, the scale dif 

 ficulfv )nav be solved. 



The Twentieth Century City is the 

 title of a very useful and finely illus- 

 trated booklet, containing a re])ort of the 

 annual convention of the .\merican 

 League for Civic Improvement, held at 

 Buffalo last August. The jiurpiise of 

 the League is to encourage the beautify- 

 ing of cities by the planting of trees, 

 shrubs, flowering plants, etc.. the de- 

 velopment of public park systems, proper 

 care of streets and alleys, etc. As the 

 work of the League stimulates the use 

 of trees, shrubs and bedding plants, the 

 nurseryman and the fiorist have a com- 

 mercial interest in its work as well as 

 that interest which every good citizen 

 lias. The corresponding secretary of the 

 League is Mr. E. G. Routzahn, Davton.
