The Florists' Review 





JDNB 8, 1916. 



Davenport, was one of the fortunate 

 ones who had peonies in time for Memo- 

 rial day. 



Joseph Tuckis, of Eock Island, has 

 been ill at a local hospital with typhoid 

 fever, but he is doing nicely and is ex- 

 pecting to be in the harness in a few 

 days. In the meantime, Mrs. Tuckis 

 "holds the fort," as she expressed it, 

 and is doing a thriving business during 

 her husband's absence. W. G.

The Market. 



Summer, although somewhat belated, 

 is with us at last and the warm, bright 

 weather has knocked the bottom out of 

 the market. Stock in general is good, 

 but prices are down to normal and be- 

 low. Carnations are in good shape and 

 the cut is large enough so that selec- 

 tion may be made on all orders. Sweet 

 peas are good and are selling well. 



Boses are having a good sale and the 

 supply is more than sufficient to take 

 care of the demand. Some exception- 

 ally fine stock is seen on the market, 

 but it is bringing only fair prices. The 

 market is long on lilies and they are 

 moving only fairly well. The crop of 

 outdoor peonies from this vicinity will 

 soon be in and other outdoor stock is 

 coming along nicely. This, of course, 

 will have a tendency to make business 

 more quiet, and from now on there will 

 not be much doing in the cut flower 

 line. 



Spring stock continues to move well 

 and this month should still show some 

 good results in that end of the business. 

 The supply of orchids has increased 

 materially and they are to be had at 

 reasonable prices for wedding decora- 

 tions, which, of course, are numerous 

 this month. The demand for funeral 

 designs was large last week and the 

 retail trade has been busy with this 

 kind of work. Vacations seem to be 

 the main topic of conversation and each 

 one is planning his or her holiday with 

 much fervor. 



Various Notes. 



Mrs. A. Goebet, of Third and Wright 

 streets, last week announced the en- 

 gagement of her daughter, Pearl, to 

 J. Van Deusen. 



F. H. Holton, whose automobile was 

 struck by a street car recently, as yet 

 has not received any settlement for 

 damages. Mr. Holton is going on a 

 short trip to the western part of the 

 state for a few days on private 

 business. 



The committee in charge of the an- 

 nual outing of the Milwaukee Florists' 

 Club has not completed its arrange- 

 ments, but it is said the picnic will 

 take place sometime during the early 

 part of July. H. J. S.

The Market. 



The wet weather undoubtedly is re- 

 sponsible for the dullness of trade. It 

 has been disagreeable and business in 

 all ways has been much affected. A 

 large quantity of outdoor work still 

 remains to be done, but the ground is 

 thoroughly water-soaked. The planting 

 season has been much hindered. 



There is an immense quantity of cut 

 flowers in the market and the sales are 

 not at all brisk. Prices consequently
