MILWAUKEE- 



Deeoration Day business practically 

 cleaned up nearly everything in bloom- 

 ing plants, as well as everything used in 

 the bedding line. The frequent changes 

 in the weather kept buyers from purchas- 

 ing until almost the last day. The call 

 for geraniums, especially the dark scarlet 

 varieties, was in excess of the supply and 

 late buyers had to content themselves with 

 plants not yet in bloom. Golden Bedder 

 and Verschaifeltii eoleus sold well. Cannas 

 are increasing in demand, especially the 

 dark-leaved varieties. 



John Duulop, Wm. Edlefseu and F. 

 Schmeling were awarded contracts for 

 some of the city parks and Nic Zweifel 

 is doing the work at the Court House 

 Park. 



Heavy rains the past two weeks have 

 delayed planting to some extent. A slight 

 frost on the 4th nipped the eoleus in some 

 parts of the city. Quite a hailstorm 

 passed over on the 2nd, but little damage 

 was done to glass here. 



At a meeting of the school board a 

 resolution was passed instructing the 

 principals of the various schools not to 

 allow any bouquets at the graduating ex- 

 ercises. They advocate plain dresses and 

 no flowers. This is net very encouraging 

 to the trade. 



Shipping bvisiness has been brisk the 

 past week, June weddings cleaning up 

 most of the good shipping stock. 



Visitors the past week: V. Wayman, 

 Madison, Wis. ; A. N. Kinsman, Austin, 

 iNiinn. ; Leo Bather, Clinton, Iowa; John 

 Beusted, Eacine, Wis.
