The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



December 2, ISST. 



MILWAUKEE, WIS. 



Thanksgiving daj-, universally ac- 

 knowledged as "Turkey day," is also be- 

 coming a "Flower day." Invitations for 

 dinner are usually reciprocated by a box 

 of flowers. Dinner parties are given and 

 table decorations are in order, hence the 

 florist comes in for a good share of the 

 trade given on the day of thanks. All 

 social clubs had open house and decora- 

 tions were numerous. John Rost cap- 

 tured the largest job, he doing the work 

 for the Calumet Club's annual hop on 

 this day. Trade on the whole exceeded 

 last vear, good stock Ijeing very scarce. 



Colli weather has struck us and stock 

 has shortened u|) considerably. Carna- 

 tions are especially scarce and readily 

 fetch I1.50 to j;2.oo per 100. Roses run 

 from f2.oo to $7,.oo for second grade, 

 $5.00 to $6.00 for extra choice. Violets 

 are coming in and are of fine quality. 

 Romans and paper whites are also selling 

 well. 



Binzell & Kellner are the latest addi- 

 tion in the way of new firms here, hav- 

 ing opened at 314 Third street. 



Ellis iV: Pollworth are putting in a new 

 boiler at their palm houses, for safety in 

 extreme cold weather.

My aim in these goods has been quality: 

 having from time to time added such im- 

 provements as would be beneficial and 

 strengthening to the article, at the same time 

 getting the price down to such a figure as to- 

 make the goods popular with the trade in gen- 

 eral. For sale by leading seed houses and 

 wholesale supply men throughout the United 

 States.
