The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



MAY 5, 189?. 



MILWAUKEE. 



The Market. 



Trade has assumed a steady, quiet 

 nature. Stock keeps moving fairly, 

 •with no apparent sign of an immediate 

 glut. Violets are about gone: a few 

 good ones are still coming in. hut as 

 the season is past, the demand is light 

 for them. Bulb stock has also seen its 

 day. with the exception of a few Har- 

 risii and longiflorum. which were 

 booked for Easter but were a little 

 slow in arriving. Prices still average 

 fair, roses bringing $4 for selects; car- 

 nations about $1.(M> to $1. •">(►. Beauties 

 are short of demand. Smilax is also 

 scarce and commands a good price. 

 Sweet peas are coming in in better 

 quantity and quality. The early ones 

 bring about $1 per 100. 



Park Notes, 



Bedding stock is getting attention 

 now. The city has leased some glass 

 for the storing of stock and for the 

 purpose of growing some of the com- 

 moner varieties of bedding plants. We 

 hope to see in the course of a few 

 years large conservatories erected, as 

 Milwaukee is considerably behind in 

 this respect. Many other cities of 

 smaller size control tlieir own green- 

 houses. Extensive preparations are 

 being made for the improvement of 

 the parks, in which all florists here 

 should share the benefits thereof. 

 At a recent meeting of the council a 

 resolution was made to tppoint an- 

 other park superintendent. Since Mr. 

 Pettigrew left us it was in the hands 

 of a park commissioner. 



Various Items. 



Some changes will be noted in the 

 town stores soon. Miss Sarah Engel, 

 who for some time conducted a store 

 on the West Side, will probably dis- 

 continue and enter in the employ of 

 F. Hesse, a South Side florist. Miss 

 Smith, who had charge of the flower 

 department in Jones' drug store, will 

 go back to her former employers, Cur- 

 rie Bros. 



Holland bulb agents were not so nu- 

 merous as last season: probably the 

 tariff had the effect of keeping some 

 on the other side. They must have 

 made some inroads on the profits of 

 American jobbers, as their prices seem 

 strikingly low to buyers, while if duty, 

 freight and packing charges were add- 

 ed they would appear different and 

 equal to American prices. 



Lloyd Vaughan, representing the 

 Chicago triplets, V., McK. & W., called 

 on the craft and left town in a happy 

 frame of mind, overloaded with orders, 

 so he says. 



GEO. WASHINGTON. 



IN THE adv. of Mr. H. Steinmetz, 

 Raleigh, N. C. on page 880 of last 

 week's issue, the price of Arundo 

 Donax variegata should have been 

 !|!5.00 a hundred instead of .'lO cents. 

 The adv. is correct in this week's is- 

 sue.
