The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



July 3, 1902. 



MILWAUKEE. 



The weatiier conditions the past week 

 were anything but favorable for the 

 growers — cold, cloudy days with periodi- 

 cal showers and the night temperature 

 going down as low as 40, making it im- 

 possible to avoid mildew and causing ^ 

 shortage of stock such as was never be- 

 fore experienced here. Dealers accepted 

 stock which under other conditions would 

 not be taken by fakirs and prices were 

 equal to midwinter. Carnations, though 

 not so badly afiected by the changes in 

 the weather, are nevertheless scarce and 

 supply is far below the demand. Retail 

 dealers who last week displayed "15 

 cents per dozen" signs are now asking 

 50 cents per dozen for carnations, and 

 roses sell at from $1 to $2 per dozen 

 according to quality. Sweet peas are 

 conning in fairly plentiful and fetch 50 

 to 75 cents per 100, wholesale. 



There is no outdoor stock in the market 

 and indications are for a very short 

 season in this class of goods unless 

 weather conditions improve soon. So 

 far but little damage has been done to 

 field growing carnations. One or two 

 growers reported some damage from too 

 much rain where stock was planted in 

 low ground. 



There is not much enthusiasm dis- 

 played in the coming convention of the 

 S. A. F. Some of the railroad represen- 

 atives called on most of the trade, mak- 

 ing rates, etc., but it is not known who 

 will make the journey from here as yet. 



C. C. Pollworth Co. have completed 

 their new addition and are planting with 

 Ivory and Liberty. The latter variety 

 has done very well here the past season. 



Carl Johannes has completed four new 

 houses and will plant them in carnations. 

 His stock in the field looks fine. 



Eecent visitors were Leonard Lawson, 

 Eockford, 111.; H. B. Campbell, Daven- 

 port, Iowa; and Mrs. O. Baumann, Man- 

 istee, Mich. Incog.

 Ushing the Northwestern Dairyman.

Cut flower trade continues very good, 



with a shortage in nearly all lines. 



Beauties are particularly scarce. The 



. cool weather has improved the quality of 



stock somewhat. X. Y. Z. 



Ft. Dodge, Ia. — P. L. Larson reports 

 having had an excellent season. He is

 chased a new 50-H. P. boiler.
