Mothers' Day. 



Tlic weather was ideal lor a liij; 

 supply of flowers for Mothers' day, but 

 the (piantity of stock in the market 

 wiis not enouffh to meet the demand. 

 It was imiiosaiblc to fill orders com- 

 I)letely. 



The demand for carnations was un- 

 usually heavy and beyond the supply. 

 Roses and sweet peas, likewise, had a 

 heavy call. There was considerable 

 snapdragon in the market, but this 

 found a ready sale. 



There was" also a big demand for 

 ](lantH in bloom of every descri])tion. 

 Large (piantities of geraniums in bloom 

 were sold. Many geraniums were 

 worked up in baskets and boxes. These 

 made an attractive Mothers' day gift. 



In order to keep the price of flowers 

 at a reasonable basis for Mothers' day, 

 every variety of flowers and plants was 

 pushed. 



The local advertising committee ran 

 some fine Mothers' day ads in the 

 various newspapers, which, without 

 doubt, gave big returns. Many other 

 lines of business also advertised in the 

 local papers, pushing their stock for 

 Motliers' day. 



In plants there was a large quantity 

 of geraniums, daisies, cinerarias, cal- 

 ceolari.'is, pel.argoniums and heliotropes 

 ill bloom. 



Various Notes. 



The Milwaukee Florists' Club held its 

 annual Mav ball at the Calumet Club 

 Thursday, May 12. 



The recently afipointed chief of police 

 took his oath of oflice at 11 a. m., Sat- 

 urday, May 7, and friends of the new 

 cliief from all parts of the city sent 

 flowers. This caused an additional 

 rush for flowers while the trade was 

 right in the midst of the Mothers' day 

 rush. It was good business, but would 

 have boon more welcome at another 

 time. 



H. Locker & Sons arc building a new 

 residence, which is well under construc- 

 tion. From the looks of the plans, it 

 will be one of the finest homes in Wau- 

 watosa.
