MILWAUKEE. 



Trade the past week has been some- 

 what above the average for this season 

 of the year. Good roses and oarnations 

 were cleaned up daily, and as the bulk 

 of the asters has been marketed, most 

 of them which are now coming in are 

 kept moving at fair prices. Carnations 

 are extremely scarce, especially whites. 

 The average returns on outdoor stock 

 has been below former years, which is 

 mainly due to the favorable season for 

 growing. Asters, in particular, throve 

 like weeds and at various times had to 

 go at pretty low figures to save them 

 from the dump. The past two or three 

 weeks have been exceedingly dry and 

 growers are anxious for rain, as many 

 have not yet housed their carnations and 

 the soil is too dry to take them up. 



The crack bowlers among the florists 

 have entered a team in the city league 

 and will be known as the Imperials. The 

 boys will keep in shape until next con- 

 vention time and expect, to be inside of 

 the prize limit when the smoke clears 

 away. 



The State Fair, Jahrmarkt and open- 

 ing of the exposition are attractions for 

 this week, and the low railroad fares 

 will induce many of the trade in the 

 state to visit Milwaukee this week.

A COPY of the new trade catalogue 

 of H. H. Berger & Co., New York, 

 has reached us. It is very neatly 

 printed and illustrated and contains a 

 very complete list of bulbs, seeds and 

 plants for florists. The list of Japanese 

 bulbs and plants is especially interest- 

 ing. This firm has for many years made 

 a specialty of these, being the pioneer 

 importers of sam*.
