The Florists' Review 



JuiiT 16, 1914. 



MILWAXTKEE, WIS. 



The Market. 



Business has been quiet for the last 

 week. The demand for flowers has 

 dropped off and sales have fallen down. 

 The supply of carnations is gradually 

 decreasing and old stock will soon be 

 out of the market. Growers have been 

 throwing out plants for some time and 

 as the poorest stock goes first, the qual- 

 ity is good for this time of year. Some 

 growers have the new stock in and it 

 will soon be on the market. While the 

 sales are not what they should be, the 

 trade is managing to dispose of the cut. 



Roses are fine at this time, and the 

 cut is moving well. It is indeed seldom 

 that such a good quality of stock is 

 seen in the su/nmer time. There is an 

 abundance of outdoor stock, for which 

 there is practically no sale. Outdoor 

 sweet peas are plentiful just now and 

 are being sold cheaply to clean up the 

 market. Lilies are fine, and while the 

 supply is heavy, the demand is not 

 correspondingly so. 



Various Notes. 



Mrs. Ida Baumgarten and her daugh- 

 ter Gretchen; accompanied by Miss 

 Zemler, with the Edlefsen-Leidiger Co., 

 left Monday, July 13, for a pleasure 

 trip to the Pacific coast. It is expected 

 that they will be away until about Au- 

 gust 1. 



S. S. Skidelsky, of Philadelphia, vis- 

 ited the trade Wednesday, July 8. 



The date of the annual picnic of the 

 Milwaukee Florists' Club has been 

 changed to Wednesday, July 15. This 

 is the first time the annual outing has 

 not taken place on a Sunday, but as 

 business is slack, the florists and their 

 friends will undoubtedly be able to be 

 there and help to make this gala occa- 

 sion a great success. H. J. 8.

Extra large specimens for July and August flowering 



We have some of the largest, finest and most perfect specimens of 

 hydrangeas in half-barrels that we have ever seen. Plants are just com- 

 ing into bloom, and are beautiful, symmetrical specimens covered with 

 blooms, each plant having from one hundred to two hundred flowers. 

 We have over three hundred of these fine plants in shape for immediate 

 shipment, and every plant is a perfect specimen. There is nothing so 

 magnificent for summer decoration as these large hydrangeas. They 

 are very showy. 



$7.50, $10.00 and $15.00 each — according to size and number of blooms.
