The Florists^ Review 



August 14. 1919. 



MILWAUKEE. 



The Market. 



General opinion in Milwaukee is that 

 flowers are of better quality, more in 

 demand and in greater supply than they 

 have been during any August for many 

 years. The new roses coming in are 

 exceptionally good throughout, from 

 Killarney to Premier. Some fine Eus- 

 sells are coming in and look better, in 

 color and Substance, than any cut in 

 months. Ophelia is in heavy crop and 

 has good color and size. Columbia is 

 better than it was last year. "Wards are 

 fine and in abundance. In reds, Hoosier 

 Beauty and Milady are sharing honors. 

 All varieties are selling well at fair 

 prices. 



Asparagus has been quite scarce here 

 lately, owing to the disruption of ship- 

 ping' in the south, and the local supply 

 nowhere near meets the demand. As 

 with everything else the florist uses, 

 when.it goes out of the market he finds 

 something else which answers the pur- 

 pose well. 



Various Notes. 



Mr. and Mrs. Herman Hunkel, and 

 their sons, Victor and Edward, have re- 

 turned from a most enjoyable trip 

 through the east. Albert Hare, of the 

 Holton & Hunkel Co., spent a few days 

 in Chicago last week. 



C. C. Pollworth has made large ship- 

 ments of 3-inch and 4-inch cyclamens 

 recently. Mr. Pollworth said he had to 

 refund about $500 to florists who had 

 ordered cyclamen plants after they were 

 sold out. 



Bryan Seeley is back on the job with 

 Gust. Kusch & Co. after a week 's vaca- 

 tion. 



Riebs Bros, have a fine lot of chrysan- 

 themums. A. H. M.

PRACTICAL 



Greenhouse Work 



calls for the best equipmeat obtainable 

 to gain the most profitable results. Or- 

 dinary makeshift Kreenhouses may 

 answer tke purpose, but harder work is 

 required of the owner and smaller 

 returns for his labor and investment. 



Every piece of material that enters into 

 the construction of Callahan Cut- to-Fit 

 Qreenhouses is the result of much exper- 

 ience on the part of our detail men. The 

 members are cut to exact measure and 

 shipped to you with the plans: all so 

 simple that any man with an ordinary 

 knowledge of greenhouse construction 

 can set them up perfectly.

A Glazing Putty 

 of Real Value 



In all our experience and investigation 

 we had never found a preparation for 

 bulbing over the outside of a greenhouse 

 that was quite satisfactory, until we ran 

 across PERMANITE. This was about 

 four years ago. At that time we set about 

 investigating the merits of PERMANITE 

 and proceeded to watch the results of its 

 application to greenhouse roofs. 



Last year we were entirely convinced 

 of its high Quality and durability, and ac- 

 cepted the western agency for the sale of 

 these goods. 



We applied PERMANITE to hundreds 

 of greenhouse roofs, over almost every 

 part of the United States. 



The results obtained were highly satis- 

 factory indeed. Glass roofs of all kinds, 

 both old and new, were made water-tight 

 and air-tight, saving thousands of plants 

 from being spoiled by water dripping on 

 them and saving many hundreds of tons of 

 coal by making the roofs proof against 

 the wind and storms of winter. 



We give PERMANITE our unqualified 

 endorsement and recommend it highly for 

 all kinds of glazing. 



We have a very large stock on hand 

 in our warehouse and can ship imme- 

 diately.
