The Florists^ Review 



April 27, 1916. 



MILWAUKEE. 



The Market. 



Taken as a whole, Easter was satis- 

 factory to the trade. Business was 

 good, despite adverse weather condi- 

 tions. While the clean-up was not so 

 complete as we have seen it, the volume 

 of sales was extremely large. Saturday 

 and Sunday were cold and rainy and 

 dampened the ardor of the flower-buy- 

 ing public to some extent. 



Sweet peas and violets were in great 

 demand and hard to obtain. Single 

 violets were out of the market entirely 

 and the double stock was not plentiful 

 and of only medium quality. This stock 

 cleaned up early at good prices. Sweet 

 peas were scarce; in fact, toward the 

 end they were not obtainable at any 

 price. The scarceness of sweet peas, 

 of course, was due to the cold, cloudy 

 weather, and this same condition was 

 responsible for the large supply of bulb- 

 ous stock in the market. Owing to the 

 lateness of the season, it was only to 

 be expected that this stock would be 

 out of the market. It cut a big figure 

 in the sales, however, and wound up 

 its season in a final burst of sales that 

 easily made this the best season for 

 bulbous stock we have seen for a long 

 time. 



Carnations were in sufficient supply 

 to go around and the quality was good. 

 Of course, the trade tried to buy as 

 much of this stock as possible, and but 

 for the extremely large supply an acute 

 shortage would have been felt. Koses 

 were plentiful, but they cleaned up 

 well, despite the big supply. They were 

 in fine shape and, while prices were only 

 medium, the volume of business was 

 satisfactory. Short stock M-as in the 

 greatest demand, but the long, fancy 

 stock moved well at fair prices. 



Plant sales wore enormous. The clean- 

 up would possibly liave been more com- 

 plete had the holiday been earlier, as 

 some stock came in too early to bring 

 what it should have. A few kinds were 

 sold out early and late orders had to 

 be turned down or something else sub- 

 stituted. There were a few plants on 

 the wholesale market Easter morning, 

 but tlie quality was negligible. 



Various Notes. 



April 19, three days before Easter, 

 Milwaukee was visited by a hail storm 

 that left a path of broken glass and 

 much damage in its wake. The damage 

 to greenhouse property was confined to 

 the west side of the city, and the 

 Schroeder Floral Co., Twenty-fourth 

 and Pease streets, was the heaviest 

 loser, as far as could be learned. This 

 company lost al)out 4,000 panes of glass 

 and some slight damage was done to 

 the stock. It was a blessing tliat the 

 storm was not followed by freezing 

 weather, as there was glass broken in 

 nearly every establisliment in the west 

 section of town. Some of the hail- 

 stones measured nearly two inches in 

 diameter. A local newspaper photo- 

 graphed one of the hailstones together 

 with a duck egg, and the egg had noth- 

 ing on the stone in size. H. J. S.
