team of Wittbold boys played the Lake 

 View team of Wittbold boys at Edge- 

 brook. Lake View won with a score of 

 nine to six. This squared matters, as 

 the other team won last year. E. K. 

 Armstrong managed the game. 



In speaking of gladioli, Charlie Erne, 

 of Erne & Klingel, called attention to 

 the extreme scarcity of really good 

 America this year. 



The new rose, Lady Alice Stanley, is 

 being cut in the greenhouses of Peter 

 Reinberg, according to Felix Reichling. 

 This is the first year this variety has 

 been grown in this establishment. He 

 also reports a cleanup on all surplus 

 carnation plant stock. 



The last of the fishermen, swimmers 

 and other vacationers are trooping 

 homeward and the woods and fields are 

 beginning to take on the appearance of 

 autumn. And now Philip C. Schupp, 

 manager of the J. A. Budlong wholesale 

 house, is betraying an interest in things 

 ■out of doors. For when the dead leaves 

 and grass have been burned by the 

 farmers, he will slip away at odd times 

 to indulge his hobby of collecting arti- 

 facts. 



Neighbors of Julius Keller, a land- 

 scape gardener of Hubbard Woods, 

 found his wife and his 12-year-old 

 stepson asphyxiated September 12. A 

 coroner's jury returned a verdict of 

 suicide while temporarily insane in 



Mrs. Keller 's case and accidental death 

 in that of the boy. So far, Mr. Keller, 

 who was last seen September 9, has not 

 been located. 



' Visitors. 



Arthur Herrington, of Madison, N. J., 

 was in the city last week, being called 

 to Iowa City, la., by the death of his 

 mother, who was Mrs. J. Aldous, wife 

 of the florist there. 



A visitor on members of the trade 

 last week was Henry Breitmeyer, of 

 Detroit, Mich. 



Business called P. W. Peterson, of the 

 Thompson Carnation Co., Joliet, to the 

 city September 8. 



W. C. Johnson, of Minneapolis, who 

 was a visitor on the market this week, 

 will open a new store in that city at 7 

 South Sixth street, September 16. The 

 new place will be operated under the 

 business style of Johnson & Co. 



A visitor on the trade this week was 

 "Mrs. John Karl Richter, of the estab- 

 lishment of John J. Le Borious, of Du- 

 luth. Mrs. Richter 's husband, now de- 

 ceased, was at one time a well-known 

 Chicago florist. 



MILWAUKEE. 



The Market. 



Stock has begun to come in quite 

 heavily during the last week and busi- 



ness, taken as a whole, shows improve- 

 ment. Conditions are much better and 

 from present indications fall business 

 should be satisfactory. 



Roses are in exceptionally fine shape 

 and there is a variety that meets all 

 requirements. The demand is heavy 

 and the large supply is moving readily 

 at fair prices. Asters still are with 

 us in quantity and the quality also is 

 there. The trade is buying the supply 

 easily and the market is in fairly good 

 shape. Gladioli are plentiful and the 

 quality remains good. Little trouble 

 is experienced in moving the entire 

 cut. Valley still is unusually scarce 

 and there is not nearly enough on the 

 market to supply the demand. 



Some fine chrysanthemums are al- 

 ready to be seen and the stock is 

 picked up at once. If the quality of 

 the stock is an indication of what the 

 late stock will be like, some prize 

 blooms will be sold this fall. 



The retailers report a healthy in- 

 crease in business and are optimistic 

 for the success of the coming season. 



Various Notes. 



L. B. Thorpe, foreman for the Green- 

 wood Carnation Co., North Milwau- 

 kee, who has recovered from a severe 

 illness, celebrated his return to health 

 by taking unto himself a wife. Miss
