The Florists' Review 



JcsE 25, 1914. 



MILWAUKEE, WIS. 



The Market. 



Business was exceptionally good last 

 week. The weather has been cool for 

 the last few days and this has helped 

 stock materially. Carnations are short- 

 ening up and their quality is greatly 

 improved. Sales are a great deal bet- 

 ter and the market is being cle9,ned 

 up fairly well every day, at higher 

 prices than formerly. Boses are scarce 

 and it is practically impossible to take 

 care of all the orders for them. White 

 roses, especially, have been in great 

 demand, while the supply has been 

 limited and the quality not as good as 

 it should be. Ther6 are some fine Kus- 

 seFl roses on the market and they 

 seem to be in great demand. In many 

 •cases this rose is taking the place of 

 American Beauty. 



Sweet peas have shortened up con- 

 siderably and are bringing top-notch 

 prices, although the quality is not extra 

 good. The peony supply seems to be 

 about past, with the exception of a 

 few late varieties. New Wisconsin 

 ferns are now in the market and are 

 bringing from $1..50 to $2 per thou- 

 sand. The drop in price is noticeable, 

 as in the early part of the week, ow- 

 ing to the extreme shortage, ferns 

 broughfabout $4 per thousand. Gradua- 

 tion exercises at the Milwaukee Dow- 

 ner Colleg? and at the Normal School 

 helped to clean up the market. 



There was a slight frost in this vi- 

 cinity Friday night, June 19, but no 

 damage has been reported. 



Various Notes. 



The automobile parade for Ford cars, 

 June 20, was well patronized by some 

 of Milwaukee's leading florists. Mrs. 

 Baumgarten, of the Stephenson build- 

 ing, had her new Ford truck deco- 

 rated with excellent taste for the occa- 

 sion. H. J. S. 



NEWPORT, E. I. 



Fred G. Wheaton, formerly of tliis 

 <-'ity, but for many years of South 

 Easton, Mass., died there recently. He 

 was an authority on botany and fre- 

 quently lectured on the subject before 

 the Newport Horticultural Society. 



William Koehler, of Wadley & 

 Sniythe, New York, was in the city 

 early last week, arranging for the open- 

 in"; of the firm's branch in this city. 



A. T. Bunyard, of New York, was 

 here last week, opening his branch 

 store, on Bellevue avenue. Mr. Bun- 

 yard has just returned from Europe, 

 where he attended the golden wedding 

 of his parents, at Hove, England.
