The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



December 10, 1903. 



MILWAUKEE. 



The Market. 



Trade for Thanksgiving was excep- 

 tionally good. There was no perceptible 

 shortage in any line. Violets and carna- 

 tions led the call and were cleaned up at 

 good figures. There were more nuniis 

 in tho market than ^Yere anticipated and 

 prices were unsteady. Plenty of choice 

 blooms went at $1.50 per dozen and in- 

 ferior grades went begging. Stevia came 

 in quantity and sold well. This is a most 

 popular tlower during its season and 

 comes in handy to fill in for any occa- 

 sion. Some fine violets are in and find 

 a ready market. The call for roses is 

 about equal to demand. 



Club Meeting. 



A regular meeting of the Florists' 

 Club was held last week. A new consti- 

 tution and by -laws were adopted, calling 

 for the election of officers annually the 

 first Tuesday in December. The follow- 

 ing oifieers were elected at this meeting: 

 President, W. A. Kennedy; vice-presi- 

 dent, F. H. Holton; secretary, H. V. 

 Hvmkel; treasurer, C. Dalwig; trustees. 

 J. G. Heitman, F. P. Dilger, C. Zepnick. 

 It -was decided to secure the Exposition 

 building for a flower show next fall and 

 a premium list of $1,500 was approved. 

 Doubtless much more will be raised for 

 special prizes. Incog.
