MILWAUKEE. . 



The Market. 



Business in general seems to be some- 

 what better than it was last summer. 

 All kinds of stock are abundant, but 

 there have been some good, orders dur- 

 ing the last few weeks. The last two 

 days of last week showed a slump in 

 the market, but stock was kept moving 

 fairly well. 



Carnations are beginning to show the 

 effects of the hot weather and the qual- 

 ity is steadily getting poorer. They are 

 coming in plentifully and are being 

 moved only at rock-bottom prices. Roses 

 are also plentiful and there are lots of 

 fancy varieties on the market. This 

 stock is in good shape and has been 

 selling well, despite the abundant sup- 

 ply. Gladioli, though of good quality, 

 are not moving well on account of the 

 large supply of other stock. Lilies are 

 suffering with the rest of the stock 

 because of the heavy supply. Valley is 

 good, but is not keeping well in the 

 heat and the sales are slow. There are 

 some fine outdoor sweet peas, but they 

 are not bringing as much as they should. 



The Holton & Hunkel Picnic. 



The annual picnic of the Holton & 

 Hunkel Co. took place Sunday, July 18, 

 at Ehler's grove, near the Brown Deer 

 range. Although the day started in- 

 auspiciously, being cold and rainy, the 

 sun finally made its appearance and the 

 affair was a huge success. There were 

 "eats" galore, with plenty of ice 

 cream and crackerjack for the kiddies. 

 In fact, there was so much to eat and 

 drink that there was still enough left 

 to feed a large party when the affair 

 reached its finish. 



The big feature of the day was a ball 

 game between the Milwaukee and 

 Brown Deer contingents. The game was 

 a close one and exciting in every inning. 

 The Brown Deer boys won in the ninth 

 inning, with a score of 13 to 12. Albert 

 Hare was the dispenser of decisions.
