MILWAUKEE. 



The Market. 



Business took a slump last week. The 

 weather was warm and we had sev- 

 eral bright, hot days. The stock in 

 general showed the effect of the heat, 

 and there were large quantities of poor 

 stock on the market that was almost 

 impossible to move at any price. In 

 carnations, however, good stock was 

 not plentiful and it was difficult to fill 

 orders satisfactorily. There still are 

 a few peonies in the market, but they 

 do not cut much of a figure at this 

 time. Sweet peas still are arriving in 

 large quantities, but their quality is 

 only medium and prices are low. Valley 

 was exceptionally fine last week, clean- 

 ing up easily, with no complaints to 

 follow. 



The Club Picnic. 



The annual picnic of the Milwaukee 

 Florists' Club was held Sunday, July 9, 

 at Keipper's park, Brown Deer, Wis. 

 The weather man smiled on us and quite 

 a crowd partook of the festivities. The 

 day was replete with sports and good 

 things. All agreed that it was well 

 worth giving over one day to be there. 



Following is the list of the contests 

 and the winners, who were suitably re- 

 warded: 



Baseball — Cudahy team; score, 11 to 4. 



"Women's race — Meta Hasten, first; Lilian 

 Eanlsen, second.
