MILWAUKEE. 



Easter Trade. 



Easter trade was in every way satis- 

 factory. Business was considerably in 

 excess of last j-ear. Tlie most notice- 

 able features were tlie large demand for 

 carnations and the light demand for 

 roses. The prices on the former ranged 

 from $4 to $6 per 100, and on roses from 

 $6 to 8, most of the" latter going at in- 

 side figures, while inferior grades sold 

 at from $.S to $4 per 100. Tliere was 

 plenty of bulbous stock in the market, 

 but nearly ever}'thing was cleaned up 

 at fair prices. There was an increased 

 call for valley, lilacs and violets. Tliere 

 was also a large demand for cut lilies. 



In blooming plants lilies led the call, 

 and almost everything _in good salable 

 condition \\'as cleaned up early. There 

 was also a good supply of azaleas, lilacs, 

 deutzias and spirsas. Good potted hya- 

 cinths were scarce, also bulbous stuff" in 

 pans. !Most of the dealers were well 

 supplied in the plant line and the dis- 

 plays made were far ahead of former 

 years. 



M. A. McKenney & Co. made a fine 

 display of lilac plants and Crimson Ram- 

 blers, and had a large tree trimmed with 

 apple blossoms in the background, which 

 made a beautiful effect. Jos. Fox had a 

 fine line of miscellaneous plants. Peter 

 Kapsalis & Co. displayed an excellent 

 lot of azaleas, lilacs and rhododendrons, 

 also a fine lot of violet plants trimmed 

 with violet paper, which sold well. An 

 immense cross made up of lilies and pur- 

 ple hyacinths, with the rest of the win- 

 dow trimmed in purple and white, at- 

 tracted the jniblic eye. Currie Bros, dis- 

 played an excellent lot of hj-drangeas, 

 azaleas, cinerarias and various other 

 plants. Jas. Chacona made a specialty 

 of cut flowers and had a large lot on 

 hand which sold out clean. Wm. Edlef- 

 sen's conservatory in the rear of his store 

 was well filled with a large variety of 

 blooming plants, and alsp several thou- 

 sands of tulips, hyacinths, etc., in flats. 



Everything salable was cleaned up. 

 Tlie market florists all report a large in- 

 crease over last year. Altliough the 

 weather was unfavorable on Saturday, 

 buyers were out in full force. A. Bil- 

 lings brought a fine lot of well grown 

 longiflorum plants to Holton & Hunkel 

 Co., which sold at sight. F. P. Dilger 

 had a large crop of bulb stock in nearly 

 all varieties. 



C. C. Pollworth Co. has outgrown its 

 present quarters and has leased a four 

 story building at the City Hall square 

 and will move in on Mav 1. Incog. 



A NEW and enlarged edition of their 

 catalogue of gi'eenhouses has been issued 

 by the Lord & Burnham Co., Irvington- 

 on-Hudson, N. Y. It contains over fifty 

 fine halftone views of gieenhouses and 

 conservatories erected by them, in addi- 

 tion to drawings showing their various 

 styles of construction, all printed on fine 

 enameled book paper. It is really a 

 handsome portfolio and is a credit to the 

 house issuing it.
