MILWAUEEE. 



The Market. 



The torrid wave, which reached its 

 zenith Sunday, July 30, at an official 

 temperature of 102 degrees, was side- 

 tracked by a wet wave, and last week 

 we were burdened with heavy rains 

 every day. The weather has been some- 

 what cooler, but the rain has made field 

 work almost impossible. This condi- 

 tion is holding back the local aster crop, 

 and as the carnations are just about 

 done for the shortage is acute. 



Some roses are being cut from new 

 stock and these are in excellent shape. 

 The supply, however, as yet is small 

 and hardly meets the daily demand. 

 Gladioli are in fine condition and are 

 moving well. Valley is arriving in 

 sufficient quantities to supply the de- 

 mand, which is quite light at this time. 



Stock in general has been so scarce 

 during the last few weeks that orders 

 were necessarily cut and substitutions 

 were made when there was anything 

 to substitute with. Conditions are 

 slowly improving, however, and in a 

 few weeks should be normal again. 



Various Notes. 



Albert Hare, with the Holton & 

 Hunkel Co., left last week for an auto 

 trip to the extreme northern part of the 

 state. He will be gone about two weeks 

 and has promised to send fish to so many 

 of his friends that he will have to do 

 nothing else but fish, unless he buys his 

 supply. 



In a severe electrical storm August 4 

 lightning visited the new store of the 

 Edlefsen-Leidiger Co., at 419 Milwau- 

 kee street. The lightning did no dam- 

 age, however, as it came down a wire 

 from the roof, jumped across the store 

 to the telephone and then ran into the 

 ground. 



F. H. Holton, who returned July 29 

 from a state tour with the Shriners, 

 left the next day in his machine for 

 the northern part of the state, accom- 

 panied by his family. H. J. S. 



Long Beacli, N. T. — Many persons en- 

 gaged in a novel pastime here recently, 

 when they gathered cases of Dutch rose 

 plants cast up on the shore by the 

 waves. Each case contained fifty plants 

 and there were scores of cases to be had 

 for nothing. It is believed that an in- 

 coming ship dumped the plants over- 

 board because they were affected by 

 some disease.
