 well as a social success, which is rather 

 unusual.

C. C. PoUworth unfortunately broke 

 his arm March 1. In going to his auto- 

 mobile, his foot slipped and he fell on 

 his arm. It is rather a coincidence 

 that this accident should happen at this 

 time, for H. V, Hunkel broke his arm 

 at his automobile February 22. Two 

 wholesale florists with broken arms at 

 the same time, and both connected with 

 automobiles, makes the — shall I say? — 

 unfortunate people who do not own ma-

 bad after all. -* . 



Milwaukee last week handled one of 

 the biggest bazaars in the history of 

 the cit}', for the benefit of the German 

 war suflFerers. A. Kellner had the deco- 

 rations and had fourteen men on the 

 job for some time to complete the work. 

 Milwaukee florists and those from the 

 surrounding towns donated liberally to 

 the flower booth, A mock police force 

 was inaugurated and brought much add- 

 ed revenue. William R. Schroeder, of 

 the Schroeder Floral Co., was made 

 judge and fined all those brought be- 

 fore him by the policewomen, for they 

 had girl "cops." N. Zweifel was chief 

 of police and saw to it that few escaped 

 the police dragnet. The bazaar was a 

 huge success and the florists played no 

 minor part in making it so. H. J. S.

The week end was disappointing; 

 business was unusually quiet, but ship- 

 ments are becoming larger. The market 

 shows a downward tendency of prices 

 and it has not been easy to maintain 

 the level indicated in tlie quotations. 

 Still, the growers have had a remark- 

 ably encouraging season since New 

 Year's, and surely have no reason for
