FLORISTS' REFRIGERATORS will display your flowers in 

 an attractive manner and keep them in perfect condition. In 

 Brecht's Refrigerators there is always a STRONG CIRCULA- 

 TION OF DRY, COLD AIR. We build them of oak, or any other 

 wood, highly finished and thoroughly insulated. All hardware 

 is of brass, quadruple nickel-plated. The best of French beveled 

 plate glass used for mirrors and windows.

the chrysanthemums, with the excep- 

 tion of the two varieties mentioned. It 

 will have a beneficial effect on business 

 and will help the late stock to a great 

 extent. This surely has been a queer 

 season for mums, as they all came in 

 at the same time and fancy stock could 

 not be handled for what it was worth. 



Eoses are in fine shape, but the sup- 

 ply is limited just now. The cut is 

 smaller than the demand and it is hard 

 to take care of orders satisfactorily, 

 especially on the shorter grades. Kus- 

 sell and Ophelia are exceptionally short 

 in supply and this stock is being 

 cleaned up at fair prices. 



Carnations have become scarcer dur- 

 ing the last few days and the price 

 has advanced accordingly. The quality 

 is good and the demand is strong, de- 

 spite the large supply of mums. Violets 

 are fine, but the supply is not adequate. 

 The demand is always heavy at this 

 time of year and the receipts insuffi- 

 cient. The stock compares most favor- 

 ably with last year's; in fact, it sur- 

 passes last year's stock. 



Valley is at a premium, but even at 

 that it is almost impossible to procure 

 good stock. Lilies are about equal to 

 the demand and sell fairly well. The 

 supply of orchids is quite large, but so 

 is the demand, and the entire cut is 

 cleaned up easily at from $7.50 to $9 

 per dozen. 



Various Notes. 



A. H. McDonald, in charge of the 

 Gimbel Bros, flower department, was 

 in Chicago November 22 cleaning up 

 the odds and ends of his purchases for 

 the Christmas business. He says that 

 he is ready to take care of the large 

 volume of trade which he has every 

 reason to expect will come for the holi- 

 day season. Gimbel 's have a wonderful 

 display of orchids in their window this 

 week. 



The Edlefsen-Leidiger Co., which 

 opened an establishment at 419 Mil- 

 waukee street some time ago, is going 

 to give up its store at 349 Third street 

 December 4. This is an old stand and 

 has done well, but there is no reason 

 why the new place should not be even 

 better, as it is larger and more suitable 

 in every waj.

Tuesday, November 21, H. V. Hunkel 

 lost a perfectly good Hudson car. Some- 

 one helped himself while the car was 

 standing almost in front of the store of

 the car has been found as yet, though 

 every effort has been made to locate it. 

 Mr. Hunkel carried insurance, but 

 would much rather have his car,
