THE SEFTON MFG. CO.,'?^'EiSSer' 



Philips Bros, were busy last week, 

 having much funeral work and several 

 wedding decorations. They have sev- 

 eral weddings booked ahead. 

 Henry 'A*.j;Strobell, had a good week 

 of business: 'Besides funeral pieces, he 

 made a large decOi-ative horseshoe for 

 the opening -of the Goerke Co. store, 

 and another .for a -theatrical eveift.^ 



The J. '• J. Wilson Seed ' Co. has . re- 

 ceived two large consignments of Dutch 

 bulbs and is filling orders previously 

 booked. Much interest was shown in 

 the firm's dahlia exhibit, and a large 

 number of orders for roots was re- 

 ceived for spring delivery. 



The sixth annual dahlia show of the 

 Short Hills Garden Club will be held 

 September ,29 and 30. Exhibits of 

 flowers will be made by all the mem- 

 bers. 



Peter Penek reports business quiet, 

 but thinks there will be a material im- 

 provement in business conditions with- 

 in two or three weeks. E. B. M.

The Market. 



Last week was not much different 

 from the week previous and there was 

 little change in market conditions. The 

 weather was quite bad, as there was 

 an overabundance of rain. The fall 

 season has not as yet made itself felt 

 and the summer depression, which was 

 late in arriving, shows the same re- 

 luctance in departing. The demand for 

 stock is light and funeral work con- 

 stitutes the bulk of business. Carna- 

 tions are coming in more plentifully 

 each day and the stock is moving eas- 

 Uy at fairly good prices. It can be 

 seen that asters are a poor substitute 

 for cariiationa, for the sale of asters 

 begins to fall off as soon as carnations 

 make their appearance. 



Boses are in fairly good shape and 

 are increasing in quantity. They are 

 being cleaned up daily, but prices are 

 not any too good. Gladioli are gradu- 

 ally getting scarcer and they will not 

 last much longer. The quality is poor 

 and they are not moving rapidly. Val- 

 ley is scarce and is being sold as soon 

 as it comes into the market. Lilies are 

 moving slowly and are in abundant 

 supply. Taken as a whole, the week 

 shows up poorly, but if we should get 

 a frost it would help conditions won- 

 derfully. 



Wisconsin State Fair. 



As usual, there was a good horticul- 

 tural exhibit at the state fair, Septem- 

 ber 13 to 17. The display of plants was 

 exceptionally fine and the only draw- 

 back was that there was not sufficient
