MILWAUKEE. 



The Market. 



We have had a few days of real win- 

 ter weather, which has stimulated the 

 trade to some extent. Stock in gen- 

 eral has decreased in supply, but the 

 quality has improved and conditions 

 are somewhat better than they have 

 been for some time. Roses are even 

 better than heretofore and the quan- 

 tity, while smaller than it has been, is 

 sufficient to take care of all orders. 

 Carnations are improving in quality 

 and increasing in quantity, and are 

 finding a- ready market. Chrysanthe- 

 mums are on the wane, although some 

 fine ones are being disposed of every 

 ■ day. The long spell of extremely warm 

 weather brought the muins in quickly; 

 consequently they were soft and did 

 not hold up as well as they should. On 

 the whole, the mum crop has not been 

 as satisfactory this year as it might 

 have been. 



Wisconsin-grown violets are scarce 

 and are sold quickly each day. Some 

 fine New York violets are being shipped 

 in, but, as they do not keep so well, 

 are selling only when the domestic 

 stock is exhausted. Valley is still equal 

 to the demand and is selling at $4 for 

 first-class stock. Stevias are good this 

 year and are moving readily at medium 

 prices. Beauties are in good supply, 

 and are longer-stemmed than usual. 

 This stock always finds a market, al- 

 though the prices are not what they 

 should be. 



Various Notes. 



Philip Foley, of the Foley Green- 

 house Manufacturing Co., Chicago, was 

 in this city November 17. His firm 

 has just completed what he considers 

 one of the finest private greenhouses 

 in Milwaukee. It is the property of 

 Ferdinand Schlesinger, 477 Lafayette 

 place, and is a welcome addition to the 

 beauty of our city. 



J. J. Karins, representing Henry A. 

 Dreer, Inc., of Philadelphia, visited the 

 trade here last week. 



F. Choles, of Madison, Wis. was in 

 this city November 18 and 19. He 

 drove back to Madison in his car, and, 

 as it was one of our first really cold 

 days, nobody envied him his trip.
