MILWAUKEE. 



Business Conditions. 



Business has been of a steady na- 

 ture for some time past and supply of 

 stock with exception of extra choice 

 roses is about equal to the demand. 



Prices on roses remain about the 

 same with quality somewhat improv- 

 ing. Poor to medium grade run from 

 $2 to $.j. and tirst quality to select, $6 

 to $S per hundred; some extra choice 

 go at even better figures. Carnations 

 from bad to good bring from $1 to $3 

 per hundred. Some fine Valley is com- 

 ing in and brings from $3 to $4. Vio- 

 lets are quite plentiful and 50 cents 

 per hundred is about average top notch 

 price for good quality. 



Notes. 



C. B. Whitnall has been nominated 

 for city treasurer on the Social De- 

 mocracy ticket, but later reports are 

 that he declined to accept the nomina- 

 tion. 



Miss Maggie Edlefsen. who has been 

 sojourning in the P^ast, is expected to 

 return soon. 



Nic Zweifel, who has been confined 

 to his home for some months on ac- 

 count of sickness, has again made his 

 appearance downtown. 



Ellis & Pollworth have enlarged 

 their quarters by cutting out the par- 

 tition and taking in the neighboring 

 basement, also putting in an elevator 

 and adding a flower seed department 

 to their plant. 



GEO. WASHINGTON. 



NEW BEDFORD, MASS. 



One of the popular blizzards of the 

 West has been extending its arras into 

 forbidden territory of late and more 

 damage has been done than on any pre- 

 vious occasion in past years. All com- 

 munication with distant cities was cut 

 off and many greenhouses were more 

 or less damaged by the storm. 



At the present time of writing we 

 have a labor blizzard on our heads, 

 which is much more disastrous to the 

 trade than the cold blizzard of the 

 West, throwing thousands out of em- 

 ployment. Business is practically 

 stopped and the streets filled with idle 

 men. It is not a very bright prospect 

 for Easter trade. C.
