The Florists' Review 



April 20, 1015. 



MILWAUKEE, WIS. 



The Market. 



There has been almost no change in 

 market conditions during the week just 

 past. Stock continues to be overabun- 

 dant, and sales are still below normal. 

 The weather has continued extraordi- 

 narily warm and there has been no 

 rain. This fills the market with a large 

 supply of all varieties of stock, which 

 is disposed of at prices that are not 

 nearly so good as they should be. 



Present conditions surely cannot last, 

 as April has been so different from the 

 usual weather that we can expect May 

 to be out of the ordinary as well. 

 Should a cool, rainy week ensue, stock 

 may be really scarce for Mothers' day. 

 The demand for that day will be unu- 

 sually heavy, judging from the advance 

 orders already on the books of the 

 wholesalers. It is already noticeable 

 that the increased demand is not for 

 carnations alone. The public is now 

 using almost every variety of stock, 

 while heretofore carnations, especially 

 white, were all that had a heavy de- 

 mand. 



Memorial day will be a problem this 

 year, as stock is not to be depended on 

 as much as usual. Peonies are already 

 far advanced, and will probably come 

 in before the holiday. 



Prices at present are low, and some 

 excellent stock is being moved for al- 

 most a song to keep the market cleaned 

 up. Carnations and sweet peas are be- 

 ing sold extremely cheap and roses are 

 not bringing much more. Violets are 

 just about gone for the season, and 

 spring stock has not much longer to go.

NEWPORT, R. I, 



Miss Emma Eitchie, who has been 

 ill at the Newport hospital, having had 

 an operation for appendicitis, is re- 

 ported as being more comfortable. 



S. W. Coggeshall reports an un- 

 usually heavy demand for garden sup- 

 plies during the last week or ten days. 



Gibson Bros, report a heavy demand 

 for rambler roses of all kinds. 



Jesse Sousa, who recently took a 

 position with Oscar Schultz, has the 

 sympathy of the guild in the loss, April 

 19, of his baby, aged 10 months. Mr. 

 Sousa recently removed to Newport 

 from Fall River and had just got a 

 cottage ready to receive his little fam- 

 ily. Mrs. Sousa was on her way to join 

 her husband when the baby died on the 

 train. W. H. M.
