MILWAUKEE. 



The Mafket. 



The market continues easy, with a 

 good selection of flowers. Business is 

 good for August and first quality stock 

 sells quickly. Eoses, gladioli and asters 

 are in best supply. The quality is good 

 and prices are fair. For the first time 

 in a year orchids are completely out of 

 this market. In a week or two a light 

 cut will be on again. 



Various Notes. 



A large wedding in Sheboygan, Wis., 

 August 11, kept the force of the Baum- 

 garten Floral Co. busy for a few days. 

 A church decoration, a dozen tables at 

 the home of the bride, together with 

 the bouquets for the bridal party, made 

 up the order. August Kellner & Co. ar- 

 ranged the church decoration. 



Herman Hunkel is busy with plans for 

 the florists' exhibit at the state fair, 

 which is one of Milwaukee 's big annual 

 events. The horticultural building 

 promises to be about the main attrac- 

 tion this year. 



James Matthewson and son were in 

 Milwaukee August 18, en route to De- 

 troit. About fifteen local florists at- 

 tended the convention. 



Gus Psimaras reports a good business 

 the last week. Funeral orders were 

 plentiful. 



Joseph Sinick has taken a position 

 with Gust. Eusch & Co. He has been 

 about the flower market for many years, 

 but has recently been inclined to make 

 it a source of livelihood. 



Mat Schiltz, of the Ove Gnatt Co., 

 Laporte, Ind., called on the trade last 

 week. 



Ray Manning, with the A. L. Randall 

 Co., Chicago, called on the trade last 

 week, introducing William T. Then, 

 who will take over the Milwaukee ter- 

 ritory. Mr. Manning will, in part, take 

 over the duties of the late Frank Mc- 

 Cabe on the Eandall selling force. 



The new store of E. Welke Co., Third 

 street, is nearing completion and will be 

 as convenient and unique as careful 

 planning can make it. A. H. M. 



Houston, Tex.— ^R. C. Kerr is state 

 agent for the Beeman garden tractor 

 and already has sold six carloads of the 

 machines.
