The Market. 



The coiidition of the local market ha.s 

 sliowii quite a change during the last 

 week. The cliange was not for the bet- 

 t<M-, however. The demand lightened 

 materially and the general supply was 

 licavier than it ha<l been. This, of 

 roiirso, liad a tendency to result in an 

 ()verali\indance of stock. There was not 

 an item on which there was any scarcity 

 last week, and i)rices, of course, imme- 

 diately began to decline. The supply of 

 roses was lai'gt", JU'd there were even 

 enough Kussells of the shorter grades to 

 supply the demand. The quality of the 

 stock is excellent and those who pur- 

 chased roses got more than their 

 money's worth in every instance. Car- 

 nations were more than plentiful, as well 

 as sweet i)eas and violets. Despite their 

 good quality, it was necessary to move 

 tliese classes of stock in large quantities 

 at special prices, in order to keep the 

 market cleaned up fairly well. 



BuHjous stock last week was also plen- 

 tiful and sold readily. The demand for 

 plants of this kind, principally tulips, 

 hyacintlis and daffodils, has l)een excep- 

 tionally brisk, and large quantities of 

 these have been disposed of to good ad- 

 vantage. There is, of course, practically 

 no cliange in the valley situation. Sec- 

 onds are (deaning up (laily at $4, while 

 tlie few firsts that come in are bringing 

 $6. Lent probably is responsible, to 

 some extent, for the decrease in the de- 

 mand; but from all indications the Eas- 

 ter business will more tlian make uj) for 

 the tcmjiorary decline. 



Club's Carnation Show. 



Tiiursday, Marcii 1, the ^lilwaukee 

 Florists' Club staged a carnation ex- 

 hibition at its rooms. A large number 

 of exhibits were made and the attend- 

 ance was exceptionally good. There is 

 no doubt that the exhibition brought 

 tradesmen into closer harmony, antl it 

 is surely well worth repeating at an 

 early date. 



Gullett & Sons, of Lincoln, 111., ex- 

 hibiteil a fine vase of Nebraska, which 

 is a most jiromising red. The J. D. 

 Tliomjison Carnation Co., of Joliet, III., 

 siiowed its new carnation, yujjerb. This 

 carnation has a ])leasing color and siiould 

 find a ready market. Tiie Greenwood 

 Carnation Co., of Xortli .Milwaukee, had 

 flue blooms of Ciood Cheer and Nancy; 

 also a vase of mixed seedlings, some of 

 whi(di should make good sellers. Sylves- 

 ter & Son showed a vase of their sjden- 

 did Pink Sensation, and also some red 

 seedlings which ha<l exceptionally large 

 flowers. The C. C. I'ollworth Co.' exhib- 

 ited White Won<ler, Beacon and Mrs. C. 

 W. Ward. This concern also had some 

 light jiink roses, as well as variegated 

 sports of Miw. Ward. 



The Schroeder Floral Co. showed good 

 blooms of Nancy and Akehurst. It also 

 had a few flowers of I'rincess Dagmar, 

 a good dark red, and a vase of Zweifel's 

 new seedling. Edna, which is a jiromising 

 red. Gustav i'ohl had a vase of assorted 

 carnations. A. Reinhardt exhibited well 

 grown White Enchantiess, Enchantiess 

 Supreme, White Wonder and Beacon 

 cai'iiations. The Mueller (Jreenhonse Co. 

 exhibited White Wonder and Beacon, 

 which were exceptionally fine stock. The 

 Heitman Oestreicher Co. dis])laved 

 White Wonder, Victory, Enchantress 

 ;ind Trouliadour. The last-named is 

 about the shade of Winsor. .1. Living-
