MILWAUKEE. 



The Market. 



Business in general did not improve 

 to any extent last week. There has 

 been a large amount of funeral work, 

 wiiich has used some of the surplus 

 stock, this being the mainstay of the 

 trade. There is still an abTindance of 

 stock, and as sales are slow, the mar- 

 ket is always in a position to take care 

 of all orders that come in. 



The new crop of roses is coming in 

 and the stock is more plentiful than 

 heretofore. The rose cut is sufficient 

 to meet the demand and the quality of 

 the flowers is exceptionally good. The 

 new crop Eussell roses have a brilliant 

 color and are easily the best on the 

 inarket. New carnations have made 

 their appearance, but, of course, are 

 not as yet arriving in any appreci- 

 able quantities. The stock looks fine 

 and seems to indicate that the gen- 

 eral run of carnations this year will 

 be exceptionally fine. 



Chrysanthemums are appearing in 

 limited quantities and they are dis- 

 posed of with no trouble, as the stock 

 is in fine shape. Gladioli have short- 

 ened np to some extent, due to the 

 heavjf 'rains which visitfed this section 

 of the country last week. The quality 

 is deteriorating steadily, and the cut 

 will probably cease entirely in about 

 fwo. weeks. Asters are reduced in quan- 

 tity for the same reason, but they are 

 still in large supply. Fine stock is to 

 be had reasonably. Asters this year 

 have been better than those of the last 

 few years. There was a shortage of 

 valley last week, and the demand for 

 it was greater than it had been. There- 

 fore, no trouble was experienced in mov- 

 ing the cut, which was cleaned up 

 each morning. Lilies are in fair sup- 

 ply and the stock is in fine shape. 

 They are not moving rapidly, however. 

 The market during the last few weeks 

 has seen some extra fancy dahlias, 

 which found ready sale at all times. 



Various Notes. 



Nic Zweifel has returned from an ex- 

 tended western trip. He says that he 

 had a fine time and that it will not be 

 long before he goes again. 



John Rindfleiach, of Beloit, Wis., has 

 returned from a long trip through Wis- 

 consin and northern Michigan. 



Mrs. H. A. Levenhagen, of Manito- 

 woc, Wis., was a visitor last week. 



Walter Holton, of Holton & Hunkel 

 Co., was ill for several days last week. 

 The Holton & Hunkel Co. has had its 

 store and office repainted and is busy 

 with repairs and improvements at the 

 greenhouses. H. J. S.
