The Florists' Review 



Jolt 10, 1910. 



MILWAUKEE, WIS. 



The Market. 



The market has taken on a decided 

 summer aspect. Flowers are plentiful 

 enough, but quality and variety are 

 lacking, strictly a summer time symp- 

 tom. 



Some excellent roses are coming in 

 from houses planted mainly for summer 

 cuts. This stock is in good demand and 

 the supply is increasing. Carnations are 

 so nearly gone that buyers take them 

 only when necessary. Gladioli are bet- 

 ter now, and help considerably. Del- 

 phinium, feverfew and achiUea are 

 plentiful and cheap. Good snapdragons 

 and stocks are still to be had. 



There are some orchids coming in and 

 they sell readily. No lilies of any sort 

 are to be had. Good sweet peas are 

 scarce. 



Vaiious Notes. 



Mr. and Mrs. Fred Holton and daugh- 

 ter have returned from their western 

 trip. Mr. Holton is enthusiastic about 

 the grandeur of the west, and tells some 

 interesting incidents on hikes and rides 

 through the Eoc^ies and Yellowstone 

 park. 



Some well fruited nectarines are be- 

 ing shown .1, this week by Gimbel Bros. 

 They were grown by H. V. Hunk^l at 

 their Brown Deer range. Two summers 

 ago Mr. Hunkel grew four tubs of 

 grapes, which were also exhibited by 

 Gimbel Bros, at the time. 



Tuesday, July 1, the First National 

 bank and the Wisconsin National bank 

 merged as the First Wisconsin National 

 bank. The congratulations of friends 

 and patrons brought forth a marvelous 

 floral display. There were about 100 

 offerings, ranging in price from $5 to 

 $50. Every retailer in town figured a 

 good business at the close of '^he day. 



The Fleischman Floral Co., Chicago, 

 sent a man to Milwaukee Tuesday, July 

 1, to give personal care to some Beauties 

 for the First Wisconsin National bank. 



While bringing flowers to the market 

 from their greenhouses, the truck of 

 Biebs Bros, was run down by a Packard 

 touring car on the Cedarburg road, Mon- 

 day morning, July 7. Jacob Riebs, who 

 was driving, was painfully injured. The 

 truck was demolished. 



The Fourth of July coming on Fri- 

 day this year prompted a number of 

 stores to close Thursday evening and not 

 to open for business until Monday, July 

 7. The plan was so commonly applied 

 that there was little retail business done 

 during the latter part of the week. 



Walter Halliday, of the C. C. Poll- 

 worth Co., will be away a few weeks, 

 enjoying a much needed rest. 



J. Eosenfeld, representing Wert- 

 heimer Bros., New York, called on the 

 retail florists last week. 



Mr. and Mrs. Miller and their son, of 

 Racine, Wis., were visitors last week. 



Mat Schlitz, of Chicago, was in Mil- 

 waukee July 4. A. H. M.
