The Florists* Review 



Sei'TEMber 1, 1921 



MILWAUKEE, WIS. 



The Market. 



The iiinrkc't last week was unusually 

 quiet, although there were large quan- 

 tities of stoek coming in. Koses are 

 ]ileiitiful, l)ut there is a glut of asters 

 on the market, as well as of gladioli 

 and otlier outdoor stock, of which only 

 the hest is moving at a fair price. Much 

 of Ihe inferior grades is being dumped. 

 Most growers liave finished ])lanting 

 their houses for the season, ('arnations 

 .-ii'e iie;nly all in and the sup])ly of tliese 

 is small in this vicinity, owing to the 

 early dry season. Many growers h;id to 

 liny stock to fill nji their lionses. 



Various Notes. 



A liail storm i>assed over the city Fri- 

 day niglit, August 26. The hail, in gen- 

 eral, was light except in one small sec- 

 tion of the city on the northwest side, 

 where tiie hail came down lieavily, dam- 

 aging the Humboldt avenue greenhouses 

 of the Holton & Hunkel Co., Benjamin 

 Gregorv's greenhouses and those of 

 Gustav" Pohl. 



There was a large display of flowers 

 and plants in the Horticultural building 

 of the Wisconsin state fair, in Milwau- 

 kee, last week. Fred Rentschler, of 

 Madison, and Ward B. Davis, of Osh- 

 kosli, sent in the out-of-town entries, 

 l)ut a great many local florists arc also 

 exhibiting. 



Frank Fberfeld and his wife and 

 daughter have returned from an ex- 

 tended automobile tri]). They motored 

 to New York and returned via Wash- 

 ington, D. ('., to attend the S. A. F. con- 

 vention. 



Visitors last week were Mrs. Charles 

 Schulz and Bruno Schulz, of Menom- 

 inee, Mich. A great many visitors are 

 expected to attend the state fair in the 

 next few weeks. P. 



CINCINNATI, O. 



The Market. 



Conditions here were good last week 

 with some of the florists and just the 

 opjiosite with others, Itut, in general, 

 things are about normal in comparison 

 with other years. Gladioli still remain 

 the most jilentiful, with asters following 

 closely. Gladioli of the varieties Amer- 

 ica, Schwaben, Mrs. Francis King, 

 Peace and Augusta are the most pro- 

 fuse. Asters can be had almost at one's 

 own figure. 



Some exceptional cosmos is now ar- 

 riving in ((uantity and, being the first 

 to come, moves well. The first of the 

 new carnations arrived during the 

 course of last week, but, iis usual, were 

 short-stemmed and usable for funeral 

 work only. Miscellaneous stock of all 

 kinds is arriving in large quantities and 

 moving slowly, because of the enormous 

 amount of other flowers thiit can be 

 used to better advantage. 



Various Notes. 



The Cincinnati Cut Flower Exchange 

 is receiving some excellent dahlias from 

 H. (ioekel. of Fort Thomas. Alex Os- 

 tcndorff, of that firm, reports good sales 

 in them. 



H. W. Sheppard reports an excep- 

 tional week in general. His seasonable 

 window (lisj)lay, representing a bathing 

 beach, is a noteworthy one.
