MILWAUKEE, WIS. 





The Market. 



It will be only a short time until 

 Memorial day will be with us, and 

 everyone is making preparations to 

 handle the rush. A number of orders 

 are already booked and indications are 

 that the week of Memorial day _.will 

 show some splendid sales. 



Carnations are coming in more heav- 

 ily than they have been for some time 

 and the quality of the stock is fine. In 

 fact, it is as good as we have ever seen 

 it at this time of year. If the weather 

 conditions remain as they are, the sup- 

 ply of this stock will be sufficient to 

 meet the large demand which will be 

 made on it for Memorial day. Roses are 

 more plentiful than they have been and 

 the supply is sufficient to take care of 

 all orders. This stock looks exception- 

 ally fine and is in good condition. The 

 Russell rose is still off crop, but is com- 

 ing in more heavily right along. 



Sweet peas are not so plentiful as 

 they have been and the market is.clean- 

 ing up daily on this stock. A large 

 number of sweet peas in this market are 

 received from Watertown, Wis. The old 

 crop is just about gone and the new 

 crop is beginning to come in. Bulb 

 stock is still in the market, but is 

 about done for. It is getting poorer 

 overy day and is hardly fit for shipping. 

 Most of the cut is disposed of locally. 

 Peonies are just beginning to be seen 

 in the market and the stock looks fine. 

 Indications are that there will be a 

 large supply for Memorial day. 



Various Notes. 



Nic Zweifel, carnation specialist, of 

 North Milwaukee, will sail for Europe 

 this week. Mr. Zweifel has devoted his 

 time to business quite closely for some 

 years and has undoubtedly earned this 

 little sojourn in the old countries of the 

 world. He will be accompanied by Mrs. 

 Zweifel and his young daughter. He 

 plans to be away until September, if 

 not later. His business should n'?>t suf- 

 fer in his absence, as he leaves L. Thorpe 

 in charge. 



The Holton & Hunkel (.'o. has engage<l 

 Miss Jrnia .lens to fill the position left 

 vacant by the death of Miss Rahn re- 

 <'ently. 



Adam Zender, of Rogers Park, Chi- 

 cago, was the guest of F. H. Holton for 

 a few days last week. 



Other visitors during the week were: 

 Tra L. Cady, Fox Lake, Wis.; F. AV. 

 Bleise, of tlie Waukeslia Floral Co.,
