The Florists^ Review 



OcxoBBB 23, 1919. 



MILWAUKEE, WIS. 



The Market. 



Last week showed stock to be short, 

 but prices were not up to last year's 

 in any staple flowers with the excep- 

 tion of chrysanthemums, which have 

 been slow in coming, and any that were 

 good or fancy brought good and fancy 

 prices. Eoses have cleaned up well each 

 day at fair prices. Orchids can now be 

 had at $1 each and some cypripediums 

 are in at $4 per dozen. 



Carnations are arriving better in 

 quality and quantity, but are cleaned 

 out quickly at $4 to $5 per hundred. 

 Some blooming plants are now avail- 

 able, chiefly cyclamen and primroses; 

 some fine potted mums are coming soon. 



Keports on the condition of retail 

 business show some stores with a de- 

 ficiency in sales, due to the lack of a 

 great amount of funeral work such as 

 that which was handled last year at 

 this time. However, under the present 

 circumstances, which are normal, busi- 

 ness is good and prices are paid liy the 

 customer if the stock warrants. 



Vaxious Notes. 



Mrs. M. O. Seaman, formerly with 

 the Currie Bros. Co., is busy arranging 

 a new flower store in the Wells build- 

 ing; it is posted to open November 1. 



Baumgarten, Inc., will move in the 

 near future from its present home on 

 Mason street to a larger and better ap- 

 pointed store on Wisconsin street. Mrs. 

 Ida Baumgarten and her daughter re- 

 turned last week from a trip east. 



The Holton & Hunkel Co. shipped a 

 car of cyclamen to Pittsburgh last week. 

 The plants ranged from 4-inch to 8-inch. 

 There were nearly 5,000 plants in the 

 lot. 



W. C. Zimmermann and A. H. Mac- 

 Donald were taken to the Brown Deer 

 range of the Holton & Hunkel Co. by 

 F. H. Holton, October 17, to inspect the 

 mums, which are a grand sight just 

 now. 



Olaf J. Olson, of Holm & Olson, St. 

 Paul, Minn., was the guest of F. H. 

 Holton, October 17 and 18. 



H. Z. Malo called on the trade in the 

 interests of Leo Herrman, Chicago. 



Lawrence Pollworth, son of C. C. 

 Pollworth and on the staff of the C. C. 

 Pollworth Co., was married to Miss 

 Hazel O'Leary, October 21, at St. 

 Stephen's Episcopal church, with about 

 100 guests attending. After the wed- 

 ding supper at the Pfister hotel, the 

 young couple left for a trip south. 

 George Asmus, of Chicago, and Mrs. 

 Asmus were present and their daughter, 

 Beatrice, was maid of honor. 



W. W. Shaw, representing the A. L. 

 Eandall Co., Chicago, called on the 

 trade last week. A. H. M.
