The Florists' Review 



Fbbrdaet 11, 1915. 



MILWAUEEE, WIS. 



The Market. 



There has been a slight improvement 

 in general business conditions during 

 the last week. Selling is somewhat 

 easier. This may be accounted for in 

 part hj the fact that stock is not plen- 

 tiful. 



Carnations have shortened up con- 

 siderably, and prices have advanced ac- 

 cordingly. The stock is of good quality, 

 despite the fact that for about two 

 weeks there has been no sunshine what- 

 ever. There is not enough of this stock 

 to admit of liberal selling, and the sup- 

 ply is entirely exhausted each day. The 

 percentage of splits is small. 



Boses are not plentiful; in fact, such 

 varieties as Eussell, Ophelia, Hadley, 

 Taft, Sunburst and Eichmond are ex- 

 tremely scarce. Some of the varieties 

 are being propagated heavily, and 

 others are badly off croj). Killarney 

 and White Killarney are the most plen- 

 tiful varieties, but they are not in suffi- 

 cient supply to take care of all orders 

 Prices are somewhat higher than here- 

 tofore, but are not yet what they should 

 be. 



Double violets are plentiful and of 

 good quality. They do not move ao 

 well as single ones, however. Singles, 

 on the other hand, are not nearly so 

 plentiful. Sweet peas are in fair sup- 

 ply, and some exceptionally fine butter- 

 fly stock is being disposed of at reason- 

 able prices. Spring stock is moving 

 well and, as a whole, is of good quality. 

 Valley sales are slow. The stock is not 

 quite up to standard quality. 



Olub Meeting. 



The meeting of the Milwaukee Flo- 

 rists' Club held February 4 in the new 

 quarters of Kurtz Bros., 31 State street, 

 was preceded by a chicken supper, to 

 which the large number present did full 

 justice and which reflected great credit 

 upon the newly appointed entertainment 

 committee, consisting of Walter Halli- 

 4ay, Nic Zweif el and A. Hare. The main 

 topic of discussion during the meeting 

 was that of newspaper advertising for 

 St. Valentine's day. Arthur Leidiger, 

 chairman of the press committee, rc- 



Eorted that all those approached were 

 ighly in favor of the plan to run a 

 good sized advertisement, which, in 

 order to give it more prestige, should 

 be signed by the Milwaukee Florists' 

 Club. This is the first venture of its 

 kind ever undertaken by the club, and 

 it is hoped that the results will lead 

 to greater interest and cooperation 

 along this line in the future. 



The state fair committee of 1914 will 

 serve again this year. J. Livingston, 

 C. C. PoUworth and H. V. Hunkel are 

 the members, with the latter as chair- 

 man. 



VariOTis Note& 



Monday, February 1, this section of 

 the country was visited by what the 

 weather bureau calls the worst storm 

 in twenty years. Although the wind 

 reached a fearful velocity, no casualties 

 have been reported from greenhouses. 

 No stock whatever was received from 

 outside the city for over two days, and 

 the trade had to do with little stock 

 for a while. Telegraphic and telephone 

 communication was completely cut oflf 

 and mail service was worse than useless. 



Wm. Lubliner, who for about two 

 years has had a store in the Plankinton 

 block, 123 Grand avenue, is about to

open a store in Chicago. Mr. Lubliner 

 will still maintain his Milwaukee estab- 

 lishment, which will be managed by his 

 brother, while he devotes his attention 

 to the new place in Chicago. The store 

 will be opened March 1 at 36 South 

 Wabash avenue, in the Windsor Clifton 

 hotel block. The firm of Lubliner & 

 Trinz will have no interest in this busi- 

 ness, according to Mr. Lubliner. 



January 17 the trade lost one of its 

 active workers in Anthony W. Wonasek, 

 who died after a long illness. See this 

 week's obituary column.
