MILWAUKEE. 



The large increase in trade for Thanks- 

 giving this year brought it almost in 

 line with our leading holidays. The de- 

 mand for cut flowers of all descriptions 

 was exceedingly large. Carnations were 

 in popular demand and large quantities 

 were consumed. Roses sold well, and 

 violets were short of demand. JVIiscel- 

 laneous small flowers, such as valley, 

 Romans, paper whites and Marguerites, 

 helped to fill out to some extent. A few 

 lots of straggling mums came in and 

 were cleaned up at fair prices. 



There has been quite a drop in the 

 green market the past few days. Pick- 

 ers have been holding greens for snow 

 and higher prices, and as the weather re- 

 mained favorable, large quantities were 

 picked. Much of it will now be thrown 

 on the market too late to be handled at 

 a profit by the jobbers of this commodity; 

 whereas, if right prices could have been 

 obtained earlier, it could all have been 

 disposed of. 



The C. C. Pollworth Co. has rented ad- 

 ditional quarters for the handling of 

 holly, greens and various Christmas dec- 

 orative stock. Incog. 



GRAND RAPIDS, MICH. 



Tlianksgiving day was cold and raw, 

 with about an inch of "the beautiful." 

 Tliis, however, did not interfere with 

 the enthusiasm of the football players, 

 as in this game, as in everything else, 

 Michigan won. Trade was brisk, the 

 best ever known. Everything in the 

 shape of a flower was cleaned up. 



American Beauties sell at from $1 to 

 $1.50 per doz. Carnations, 50 cents to 

 60 cents per dozen. Mums, $1 to $5 per 

 dozen. Violets, 20 cents per dozen. The 

 weather has been unfavorable to violets, 

 many plants having the spot very badly. 

 After all, it seems as if violet growing 

 were a game of chance. 



Henry Smith's new houses are Hear- 

 ing completion. A 10-foot Wide house 

 is^to be planted at once with Princess 

 of Wales violets. It is the custom here 

 to leave the plants in the field until 

 they get frost-bitten, then plant. Treat- 

 ed "thus, this variety blooms remarkably 

 free. It would not be safe to treat 

 other varieties in this manner.

As A Christmas present to an appre- 

 ciated employe or a friend in the trade 

 nothing would prove more acceptable 

 than a copy of the Florists' Manual, by 

 Wm. Scott.
