The Weekly Florists' Review. 



December 9, 1897- 



MILWAUKEE. 



The first edition of the Florists' Re- 

 view reached its interested readers here 

 last Friday and it is needless to say that 

 it created considerable comment among 

 the craft. At the wholesalers' where the 

 trade congregated, the new paper was the 

 topic of discussion and from remarks 

 heard it certainly will find many friends 

 and subscribers here. The introductory 

 idea is a good one, as considerable im- 

 pression is gained by seeing the faces of 

 those with whom you are likely to have 

 correspondence. 



Trade. 



Nothing unusual in the way of trade 

 occurred the past week. The weather 

 has been of the tantalizing order, not 

 enough snow for sleighing and just too 

 much for good wheeling. Good stock is 

 extremely" scarce. Beauties of fine qual- 

 ity range' from 1 1.50 to |2,oo per dozen; 

 Maids, Brides, Perles, Meteor from |2.oo 

 to |6.oo and good Carnots bringing |3._oo 

 per 100. Carnations I1.50 to f2.oo, Vio- 

 lets ;fi. 00 to I1.50 per 100. Chrysanthe- 

 mums are about gone; a few good flowers 

 still come straggling in but Thanksgiving 

 day usually winds up their career for the 

 season. 



Growers are predicting a scarcity of 

 stock for Xmas. crops all seem to be off at 

 present and the continued dark weather 

 the past week has changed calculations 

 some, for those who had a good supply 

 figured out for Xmas. 



Heavy snows in the north have some- 

 what checked the inflow of green, which 

 up to the present time has been quite 

 plentiful. 



As the result of a runaway, Adam Cur- 

 rie, of Currie Bros., is laid up at his home 

 badly bruised. Nick Zweifel is also on 

 the sick list. 



The florists are endeavoring to organ- 

 ize a Bowling Club. They already have 

 in view some of the trophies to be com- 

 peted for at the next convention of the S. 

 A. F. at Omaha.

 subst.ince. An extraordinary strong Calyx, is 

 fragrant, and borne on long stiff stems that al- 

 ways carry the bloom erect. It is a free, early,

 strong, free and healthy grower: last year quite 

 a few plants produced from 30 to nO flowers by 

 the first of January. She won the Ward cup 

 for best Commercial White at the Cincinnati 

 meeting of the American Carnation Society; 

 also a certificate of merit at the Indianapolis 

 and St. Louis Chrysanthemum shows. 



Have already booked orders for over 7.000 for 

 Cincinnati alone, which proves the popularity 

 of this sterling variety. You will make no mis- 

 take in giving it a trial. Orders tilled strictly 

 in rotation. Price: Strong well rooted cut- 

 tings. $10.00 per 100: 1^5.00 per 500; ^0.00 per
