The Florists^ Review 



NOVDMBIB 18, 1919. 



MTLWAUKEE, WIS. 



The Market. 



About the same condition prevails in 

 the market as was reported last week — 

 plenty of stock, with prices low in 

 proportion to the value of flowers of- 

 fered. 



In fairness to those concerned with 

 handling the supply and those laboring 

 to create a demand, it should be said 

 that Milwaukee has suffered less in the 

 last two weeks than any other city of its 

 size, according to personal observation 

 and reports from other markets. Prices 

 are below normal, but production has 

 been farther above and striking an aver- 

 age between the two shows that Mil- 

 waukee has fared well. Our patrons are 

 using an amount of flowers that would 

 tax our ability, were the supply less and 

 prices firmer. 



Various Notes. 



The Holton & Hunkel Co. continues 

 to cut large mums in quantity, which 

 have brought up to $6 per dozen for 

 the best quality. 



Saturday, November 8, was visiting 

 day for the public at the new store of 

 the E. Welke Co., on Third street. The 

 store was crowded with patrons and 

 well-wishers from early morning until 

 a late hour. 



Fred Gutermuth is bringing some 

 clean and well grown mums of medium 

 size to the market. Business has been 

 good at the Gutermuth store on Win- 

 nebago street. 



Gustave Pohl brought his first yellow 

 Bonnaffons to market last week. Sev- 

 eral thousand are still to be cut. 



Nic Zweifel, formerly one of Milwau- 

 kee 's largest carnation growers, is in 

 California with his family for the 

 winter. 



Consignments of violets from Water- 

 town are unusually light this year and 

 do not meet the demand. There are few 

 local violets. 



Eric Johnson, of the cut flower depart- 

 ment of the A. L. Bandall Co., Chicago, 

 was in Milwaukee Sunday, November 9, 

 to procure some orchids, which he hur- 

 ried back to Chicago and placed in a 

 shipment for Memphis, Tenn. 



Herbert Hecht, of Wertheimer Bros., 

 New York, and Mat Schiltz, of the Ove 

 Gnatt Co., La Porte, Ind., called on the 

 trade last weeK. 



The Florists' Advertising Club has 

 procured space at the food, household 

 and music exposition in the Auditorium, 

 November 20 to 25, inclusive. There 

 they will carry the message, "Say It 

 with Flowers," to thousands of people.
