MILWAUKEE, WIS. 



The Market. 



Tlie oxtreinely hot spell of Sunday 

 aad Monday, Sopt ember 7 and 8, had a 

 marked effect on the market last week, 

 bringing in a deluge of mediocre stock. 

 Roses opened quickly and sold cheaply. 

 The garden flowers were soft and made 

 poor subjects for sale in most cases. 

 Later in the week stock shortened up 

 considerably and good flowers were 

 scarce after the early buying hours. 



Roses continue to be the mainstay 

 of the market and will not have much 

 competition until the chrysanthemums 

 arrive heavily. 



Carnations, while increasing in num- 

 bers, are not fit for much except design 

 work. Asters and gladioli are of such 

 quality that they are not much help. 



Various Notes. 



As the summer days are about ovet 

 and fall, with its prosperous days, is 

 near at hand, it is someone's duty to 

 "let 'em all know" that Milwaukee 

 and vicinity has had one of the most 

 bountiful summers in its history. At 

 no time has business reached so low an 

 ebb that anyone would feel blue, or 

 wonder if the good times had all gone. 

 Vacations were the only hard things to 

 arrange this summer. 



Tuesday eve»ing, September 16, the 

 Florists' Advertising Club held a di- 

 rectors' meeting at the Blatz hotel. 

 The fall and winter advertising cam- 

 ])aigns were arranged and appropria- 

 tions made to cover them. 



The Heitman-Oestreicher Co. green- 

 houses contain a good-looking lot of car- 

 nations. This firm still grows, and well, 

 too, a lot of Winsor. Some Golden 

 (tIow chrysanthemums are being cut 

 now and October Front will be ready 

 soon. 



Henry Kugler, of the East Side Floral 

 Co., says business has more life in his 

 neighborhood than it did a year ago. 



Out-of-state visitors who attended 

 the meeting of the Wisconsin State Flo- 

 ists' Association September 12 were

 low Ware Shops, Burlington, la.; Allie 

 Zech, president of the Chicago Florists' 

 <^lub; Joe Marks, of A. Henderson & 

 Co., Chicago, and F. R. Kilner, of The

Because it Hnnly locks the sash in any position you desire ^ 



with a Worm and Gear. There is nothing to slip and let S 



the sash drop. Our machines are in use all over the U. S. ^ 



and Canada, and you can easily see one in use yourself, S 



which we know will convince you of the superior merits S 



of this device. All critical buyers say "ADVANCE." E 



Greenhouse owners who are first-class, look out for the best S 



and say "ADVANCE." So should you. S 



Get our prices and catalogue to be fair with yourself. S
