MILWAUKEE. 



The Christaias Market. 



Another (.'hristnias has goue into his- 

 tory and it goes on record j4s a satis- 

 factory one in general for the florists' 

 ■trade, r The Christmas price lists were 

 sent out earlier than usual and buyers 

 were more prepared in booking orders, 

 and there was less complaint on the ad- 

 vanced charges. Shipping trade was fine, 

 but the demand was principally for coT- 

 ored carnations and red roses. Good 

 Crane, Lawson, Lord and Marquis went 

 at $8 per hundred and other varieties 

 according to grade. Eoses sold well; even 

 white was cleaned up. They ranged from 

 $8 to $lo per hundred for shipping stock, 

 according to quality. There were plenty 

 of smaller flowers, such as Romans, val- 

 ley. Paper Whites, and stevia, to go 

 around without any advance in price. 

 Violets sold well at $2 per hundred. The 

 quality of stock in general was above the 

 average, and no pickled stock was on the 

 market. 



The plant sales were fully fifty per 

 cent ahead of last year, principally due 

 to the excellent weather and the fine 

 supply on hand. C. C. Pollworth Co. 

 had a choice lot of azaleas and poinset- 

 tias which sold all right. There were 

 also a lot of c.yclamens, primroses and 

 Begonia Gloire de Lorraine in the mar- 

 ket. 



Notes. 



Currie Bros.. M. A. McKenny & Co., 

 Kapsalis & Lambros and J. Fo.\, the East 

 Side llorist, all had fine window displays 

 which brought in many doubtful buyers. 



Wm. Edlefsen and Mrs. Baumgarten, 

 on the West Side, displayed a fine lot 

 of blooming plants in great variety. 



The demand for holly was larger than 

 ever and more fancy stock could have 

 been sold had it been available the last 

 dar. Incoc.
