MILWAUKEE. 



Easter Supply. 



Easter being close at hand all flor- 

 ists are preparing for the final rush 

 tor plants and cut flowers. In plants 

 Harrisii and azaleas will fall short of 

 demand but mignonette, hyacinths 

 and callas will be sufficient to go 

 around. In cut flowers a shortage is 

 anticipated eepeaiajlly in carnations 

 and the sudden change to cold weather 

 will have some effect on the calcula- 

 tions of other stock. Bulbous stuff 

 with bright weather will probably be 

 plentiful. 



Nic Zweifel will have a fine supply 

 of hyacinths both to cut and in pots, 

 also a fine crop of sweet peas. His 

 Daybreak carnations are looking fine. 



F. P. Dilger is most fortunate in 

 having a lot of azaleas in bloom as 

 most all others had them in early this 

 year. He also expects to have a large 

 cut of tulips, hyacinths and daffodils. 

 A. Billings will have the largest supply 

 of Harrisii plants, and Chas. Zipnick, 

 while not in a large quantity, will 

 have a fine lot of perfect plants with 

 heavy stalks and clean foliage from 

 the pot up, averaging about a dozen 

 blooms to a plant, some fine specimens 

 having 15 to 20 flowers. He also makes 

 a specialty of mignonette plants and 

 will have a large supply. The outlook 

 in general is for a large demand in all 

 lines as a good many advance orders 

 are already placed. 



Notes. 



W. A. Kennedy, of Lake Forest, has 

 leased the Deuster Greenhouses and 

 will devote them to the growing of 

 cut flowers. 



H. L. Clapp. of Ripon, and J. E. 

 Mathewson. of Sheboygan, were re- 

 cent visitors.

Business has of late continued rath- 

 er dull, with some surplus of stock, 

 but not much, the late spell of cold 

 weather having a tendency to slightly 

 diminish the supply. 



At this writing every one is looking 

 eagerly forward to the latter end of 

 the week, and present business matters 

 interest them comparatively little 

 when compared with what may occur 

 later. There promises to be a good 

 supply of everything desirable in cut 

 stuff, as well as potted stock, excepting 

 carnations, which are completely off 

 crop with nearly everybody, a condi- 

 tion of affairs predicted some time 

 ago. The probability is that a good 

 many people who want carnations will 

 have to content themselves with some- 

 thing else. The outlook for a good 

 Easter seems bright to nearly all the 

 local fraternity. All that is asked is 

 that "Old Probabilities" be kind and 

 send us something extra high-grade in 

 weather. NEMO.
