 they will not force the azaleas for 

 Christmas, but will let them come along 

 in their own time. 



The Milwaukee florists will observe 

 "Say It with Flowers" week and are 

 planning to have a floral exhibit open 

 to the public during the week. 



Frank Johnston and Arthur Ander- 

 son, of the A. L. Randall Co., Chicago, 

 were in Milwaukee September 19.

The C. C. Pollworth Co. is extremely 

 busy shipping bulbs, the Dutch stock 

 having come earlier than for several 

 years. 



A. M. Dettman & Son are now estab- 

 lished in their new store, which is ex- 

 ceedingly well equipped. Over the gate 

 adjoining hangs a large "Say It with 

 Flowers" sign.

The Market. 



The return of warmer weather last 

 week tended to slow up business. The 

 increased cut of roses and other stock 

 continues, and in order to keep stock 

 moving special reductions have to be 

 made occasionally. American Beauties 

 are of better quality than they have 

 been all summer, but their demand has 

 fallen off, hence they stock up more 

 than usual. Premier is more plentiful, 

 being in sufficient supply for all; they 

 are in good demand and bring a good 

 price, since they are the only clean-cut 

 roses with long and sturdy stems on the 

 market. Ophelia is improving, having 

 a wonderful snappy color and coming to 

 the market nicely in bud. It is a bit 

 short in supply, being in good demand. 

 This is true also of Sunburst. Killar- 

 ney, Shawyer and Maryland are bright- 

 ening up in color and are of high qual- 

 ity, but their demand is only fair, be 

 ing second choice to Premier and

Ophelia. However, they are not in over- 

 supply and, being cheaper in price, they 

 find the buyer, even though late in the 

 day. Wa'-H is coming in each day, but 

 hardly enough to satisfy any one buyer, 

 since there are only two growers cut- 

 ting this favorite at present. "White 

 roses are more plentiful than in the 

 previous week, the demand being about 

 the same. Columbia and Hoosier Beau- 

 ty are of far better quality than last 

 week, having stronger stems, which are 

 essential to good quality in these varie- 

 ties. 



Carnations are not so plentiful, due 

 to the cloudy weather. The demand 

 being good, there are sales for all reach- 

 ing the market. The quality remains 

 poor, being short in stem. 



Gladioli continue to reach the mar- 

 ket, but the demand is not good, as the 

 quality is poor. Asters are in over- 

 abundance, with a great amount sell- 

 ing. The better ones are a bit scarce, 

 as only the poor stock is in glut. 



Seasonable flowers, such as cosmos, 

 celosia, zinnias, calendulas, feverfew.

juniper, wild aster sprays and centaurea, 

 are to be had. They fit in well in bas-

Maidenhair fern remains overplenti- 

 ful. Asparagus demand is good. The 

 supply of fancy ferns is of high qual- 

 ity, being better than usual.
