The Florists' Review

MILWAUKEE. 



The Market. 



The weather was really hot last week. 

 We have seen some of the hottest days 

 of the season and they have put a 

 quietus on business. Stock is exceed- 

 ingly plentiful and of only medium 

 quality. The sales are light. There is 

 a glut of carnations just now, despite 

 the fact that the growers are busy 

 throwing out the plants and preparing 

 for new stock. 



There is no shortage* of anything, 

 possibly because the demand is not 

 there. Shipping trade *old8 up better 

 than the local sales and some good 

 stock is disposed of at rock-bottom 

 prices. The spring was exceptionally 

 ^ood and we can stand an easy time of 

 it for a short period. No trouble is 

 being experienced in handling the work 

 in shifts, so that some of the force can 

 get away for their vacations. 



Various Notes. 



R. Lietz has taken his family to their 

 summer home at Cedar lake and each 

 week goes out himself. It is a relief, 

 he says, to get away regularly for over 

 Sunday. 



Mr. and Mrs. Miller, who operate the 

 Bacine Floral Co., at Racine, Wis., 

 stopped at Milwaukee for a short time 

 July 15, while on their way to West 

 Bend, where they spent Sunday. 



Ella Voelzke, of 3803 Lisbon avenue, 

 is taking her vacation at Okauchee lake 

 this week. 



M. A. McKenney & Co. moved last 

 week from their old stand at 417 Mil- 

 waukee street, to 113 Wisconsin street. 

 The new store is spacious and well 

 equipped. It is handsomely decorated 

 and is an ideal location. The decora- 

 tions are white and light gray and the 

 fixtures fine indeed. The windows are 

 large, permitting a big display. 



A. A. Ringier, of the W. W. Barnard 

 Co., Chicago, was a visitor July 15. 



The death of W. E. Dallwig, a pioneer 

 seedsman of Milwaukee, which occurred 

 Thursday, July 13, is recorded in the 

 obituary column of this issue. 



The trade got a half holiday Satur- 

 day, July 15, when Milwaukee turned 

 out for the monster preparedness 

 parade. H. J. S. 



V 



Nappanee, Ind. — July 1 was the day 

 of Morton Gibson's return to his first 

 love, the florists' business. 



Stellarton, N. S. — The Stellarton Nur- 

 series of L. McLaughlin & Sons were 

 established in 1875. A general nursery 

 and florists' business now is done and a 

 new house 23x100 feet is in process of 

 erection to increase the retail trade.
