The Florists' Review 



May 14, 1914. 



MILWAUKEE. 



The Market. 



So far as cleaning out stock is con- 

 cerned, Mothers' day was the best holi-* 

 day we have seen for a long time. The 

 demand for carnations was continuous 

 and insistent, the public seeming to 

 think this flower was the only one to 

 use. The supply of this stock, which 

 was already scarce, was soon exhausted 

 and the trade then turned to roses, dai- 

 sies, snapdragon, tulips and, in fact, 

 everything in the flower line. The sales 

 for Mothers' day did not reach the 

 total to which they would have risen 

 had stock in general been in suiliciont 

 supply, but on the whole the business 

 was satisfactory. Wholesalers report 

 that May 8 and 9 were hard days and 

 the greater part of the work was tqru- 

 ing down orders which poured in con- 

 tinually and which could not be taken 

 care of. The carnations and roses were 

 in fine condition and brought top-notch 

 prices. Bulbous stock is still in the 

 market, but getting poorer all the time. 

 Sweet peas were scarce, but the stock 

 was in fine shape. 



Varioxis Notes. 



Thomas Cassidy, well known because 

 of his long association with the C C. 

 Pollworth Co., has opened a flower store 

 and dining room on Milwaukee street. 

 His location seems to be a good one. 



The new greenhouses of Patrick Cud- 

 ahy, millionaire packer, at Cudahy, Wis., 

 are becoming a fact. We understan(i 

 there will be four houses 54x260 feet. 

 These houses will be devoted to the pro- 

 duction of carnations, American Beau- 

 ties and roses. Mr. Cudahy is also going 

 in for dairy farming and will therefore 

 be well supplied with fertilizer in his 

 new venture. G. W. Scott has been en 

 gaged to take charge of the greenhouses. 



The Holton & Hunkel Co. sustained 

 quite a loss May 4, in the death of Miss 

 Marie Eahn, who had been employed in 

 their office for over a year. Miss Kahn 's 

 death was sudden, as she was ill only 

 about a day. She is sincerely mourned 

 by all who knew her, as she had a sunny 

 disposition, was lively and well liked bv 

 all. 



Harry Balsley, of the Detroit newer 

 Pot Co., Detroit, visited Milwaukee May 

 9, on a business trip. Theo. Tellefsou, 

 of Cambridge, Wis., was also a visitor 

 last week. H. J. S.

nF YOU ONLY KNEW what a good eave 

 MM the METROPOLITAN PATENTED is. 



you would use no other. It is made of 

 cast iron and will not rust. That part of 

 your greenhouse which in other constructions 

 is the weakest becomes the strongest. Not 

 this alone, it is ice-clearing and carries all 

 the water of condensation from the inside, 

 and it is so constructed that almost the entire end 

 of the bar is exposed to the air, thereby preventing 

 decay. Only one screw, abou^ two inches from the 

 end, is all that is necessary to secure the bars. For 

 side stationary glass, wood headers are absolutely 

 unnecessary, thereby causing no shade. Zinc glass 

 stops are not necessary— the eave is made with a lug 

 to prevent the glass from slipping. Let your next 

 house be built with a Matropolitan Patented 

 Iron Wall Construction. You will never regret 

 it. Our price and service are right,
