The Weekly Florists' Review, 



April 3. 1902. 



MILWAUKEE. 



Easter. 



Easter business was a record breaker. 

 The weather was ideal and shoppers were 

 out in full force. Many did not antici- 

 pate the final rush and were unable to 

 handle the business. Everything respect- 

 able in the plant line found a ready sale, 

 and with exception of cut lilies it was 

 almost exclusively a plant Easter. 



J. M. Fox had an elegant window dis- 

 play of fancy baskets, well filled with 

 various plants and bulbous stock, which 

 caught the eye of purchasers. M. A. Me- 

 Kenny & Co. displayed some fine azaleas, 

 genistas, lilacs, etc., beautifully trimmed 

 up with various shades of chiffon and 

 Porto Eieo mats. Currie Bros, had a 

 large display of well-grown plants and 

 made a specialty of lilies. Peter Kap- 

 salis invested mainly in azaleas and pae- 

 onies, and made them an attractive feat- 

 ure. Home Bros, had a fine lot of Crim- 

 son Ramblers and some attractively ar- 

 ranged hanging baskets, in addition to a 

 general line of Easter plants. On the 

 West Side Mrs. Ennis did a thriving busi- 

 ness. Her principal display was Ameri- 

 can Beauties and fancy carnations and 

 Golden Gate. 



Wm. Ediefsen had a double force on 

 hand to handle the products of his own 

 growing, consisting of a large variety of 

 plants and bulbous stock. The Baumgar- 

 ten Floral Co. arranged their window in 

 a pink effect and Jtax Kcitz displayed 

 principally spiraea, azaleas and deutzias. 

 The outlying florists all received a liberal 

 share of buiness and are well atisficd. 

 Among the growers the C. C. Pollworth 

 Co. brought in nearly a thousand fine 

 grown longillonims, which found a ready 

 market; also several houses of |)a('onies, 

 deutzias, lilacs, spiraeas and azaleas, 

 which were' right in their prime. Nic 

 Zweifel's crop of fancy Genevieve Lord 

 and Crane came in just riglit, and Nic is 

 now thinking of building some more 

 houses. 



A notable feature was the large use 

 of palms and ferns in various downtown 

 stores for window decorating. 



The supply of cut flowers was fully 

 equal to the demand. Carnations led the 

 call and pink and red roses in good ship- 

 ping stock sold well. Violets were 

 cleaned up at good figures. Cut lilies 

 were in large demand and none were 

 left over. Chas. Zipnick brought in a 

 fancy lot of pansies, bunched in his own 

 original style, which readily sold on sight.

Easter. 



Easter trade was good; about 25 per 

 cent better than last year. Everything 

 went, plants and cut flowers, at prices 

 about same as last year; carnations and 

 lilies ran a little scarce; roses were in 

 good supply, also bulbous flowers. In 

 the market an enormous lot of hyacinths 

 were on hand in pots. Some good 

 geraniums in bloom sold before the 

 bulbous plants. In cut flowers the mar- 

 ket florists got good prices; $1.25 per 

 doz, for scrub carnation blooms, etc. 

 The weather was rainy Friday and Sat- 

 urday, but the people had the money to 

 spend and they sjient it. Baer.
