the daily sales. Valley remains scarce 

 and of medium quality. There is more 

 than an adequate supply of lilies, and 

 they are not moving at all well. Orchids 

 are arriving in about sufficient quanti- 

 ties to meet the demand. Taken as a 

 whole, business is extremely quiet, but 

 it compares favorably with that of any 

 previous summer. 



Various Notes. 



The C. C. Pollworth Co. reports that 

 its men are still cutting good roses 

 and that carnations as yet are in fine 

 shape. This concern is minus several 

 employees, who are spending vacations 

 at various resorts. W. Holliday is at 

 Lake Fine, while Phil Weil is at Peli- 

 can lake, trying for a muskellungo 

 that will weigh more than the one 

 caught recently by C. C. Pollworth. Mr. 

 Pollworth 's tipped the scales at thirty- 

 eight pounds. 



^. MacDonald, manager of the Gim- 

 bel flower department, is featuring 

 some exceptionally fine grape plants, 

 which were grown by the Holton & 

 Hunkel Co. These plants make a 

 beautiful display. 



W. Lubliner furnished a wreath July 

 17 that was more than six feet in di- 

 ameter. This gigantic design was made 

 of galax leaves, with a large cluster of 

 white roses, Piaster lilies and larkspurs, 

 tied with a large bow of ribbon. The 

 piece had to be carried on top of the 

 delivery car, as it was too large to go 

 inside. 



The Holton & Hunkel Co. has com- 

 pleted an alteration in its office that af- 

 fords the workers much needed room. 

 Albert Hare left on his vacation July 

 21. He said he did not know where 

 he was going, but that he was on his 

 way. We know he will come back with 

 the details of an extensive auto trip, 

 however. 



It is with regret that we announce 

 the death July 20 of Frank Voelzke. 

 Mr. Voelzke was the father of Miss

The Milwaukee Florists' Club held 

 its annual picnic at Waukesha beach 

 July 17. It looked much like rain at 

 the start, and, although none fell, this 

 probably accounts for the smaller at-

 planned and it was a regular family af- 

 fair. There was a ball game, with the 

 teams captained by William Mueller 

 and Harold Baumgarten. Adolph 

 Rice rendered the decisions, the game 

 culminating in a score of 2.') to 21 in 

 favor of the Baumgarten team. There 

 was a steamer trip around beautiful 

 Pewaukee lake and after supper danc- 

 ing was in order. Among the guests 

 from out of town at the picnic were
