The Market. 



This city is now in the midst of the 

 dull summer season and the trade is hav- 

 ing little to do in the way of business. 

 Florists are glad of the opportunity to 

 rest after the strenuous season just 

 past, and a large number of them have 

 already left for the lakes or gone on 

 trips to acquire the needed energy for 

 the fall season. Stock in general is 

 plentiful and some trouble is e5tperi- 

 enced in keeping the cut cleaned up. 



Carnations are playing out, as the 

 growers of this stock are throwing out 

 plants every day and are busy replant- 

 ing for the new crop. Asters are be- 

 ginning to make their appearance on the 

 market and will soon help to fill the 

 void left by the carnations. Koses are 

 still arriving in fine shape and the cut 

 is selling well. Prices are not so high 

 as they might be, but are good for this 

 time of year. 



Lilies are plentiful and while the 

 stock is fine, the sales on this stock are 

 not what they should be. Outdoor stock 

 is stiU here, especially sweet peas. The 

 dry weather, it is expected, will prob- 

 ably seriously affect the crop. 

 Club Picnic. 



The Milwaukee Florists ' Club held its 

 annual picnic Wednesday, July 15, at 

 Keipper 's park. The park is a beautiful 

 spot and those who attended the outing 

 , had a most pleasant time. The after- 

 noon was given over to games of various 

 sorts, in which the old joined with the 

 younger generation and were quite en- 

 thusiastic. The evening was devoted to 

 dancing, and the floor was always oc- 

 cupied. So far as we know, there were 

 no casualties other than a lot of sore 

 muBcles the day after. These were much 

 in evidence. The prize-winners in the 

 field events were as follows: 



Men's race— B. Haarch, flrat; F. Mack, aecond; 

 '•Prtit?'ra".' Udlea-Mlw HaUldaj. first; MIbs
