The Florists' Review 



OCTOBK 7, 1915. 



Neatness in flower delivery 



YOU want your flowers neatly packed when 

 they are delivered; "neatness" is just the 



word we've had in mind in making the Sefton Flower Boxes. 

 They are the right packages for good flowers. Made in 

 styles and shades to meet every need. Ask your paper 

 jobber.

week. There were shipments from 

 Watertown, Wis., and from the Heit- 

 man-Oestreicher Co. From present in- 

 dications, this fall is going to be fine 

 for business and should surpass former 

 years if conditions remain normal. 



Various Notes. 



John Kruchten, of Chicago, was in 

 town September 30 and October 1, ac- 

 companied by Mrs. Kruchten. They 

 visited relatives and friends, and Mr. 

 Kruchten spent some time among his 

 friends in the trade. 



Adam Zender, of Rogers Park, Chi- 

 cago, was the guest of F. H. Holton 

 last week. During Mr. Zender 's stay 

 in Milwaukee a party, including F. H. 

 Holton, H. V. Hunkel, N. Zweifel and 

 Mr. Zender, made a trip to Sheboygan, 

 where they visited the greenhouse 

 range of J. E. Matthewson. 



Louis Bauscher, of the Freeport 

 Floral Co., Freeport, 111., was in Mil- 

 waukee September 30. Mr. Bauscher is 

 thinking of opening a store in this city 

 if a suitable location can be obtained.

The Market. 



The storms that did so much damage 

 in the Gulf cities last week reached 

 Tennessee, but here they were no more 

 than heavy rains. The ground is well 

 soaked and if frost holds off a few 

 more weeks, there should be an unusu- 

 ally heavy fall growth of bulbs and 

 shrubbery. Cannas are blooming bet- 

 ter than at any time this season. Occa- 

 sional lilacs are opening their spring 

 bloom. Dahlias are reveling in the cool, 

 damp weather and have never averaged 

 so large and so well colored. They are 

 selling well. The last planting of gla- 

 dioli is blooming at present and the 

 flowers seem to be the best of the year. 



Carnations are obtainable in quan- 

 tities in this city at present. Roses 

 are almost a glut in the market and 

 the quality is good. There is a much 

 larger percentage of the newer vari- 

 eties, such as Ophelia and Hoosier 

 Beauty, than in previous years. The 

 local growers seem not to be afraid to 

 go in for the new things. 



Chrysanthemums are beginning to 

 come in to add to the general over- 

 supply of flowers. But prices are good 

 and the sales about normal for the sea- 

 son. Everyone seems to feel that busi- 

 ness will soon be good enough to clean 

 up the heavy supply, but all are look- 

 ing forward to the first good frost with 

 longing of heart. Outdoor chrysanthe- 

 mums are opening now and there are 

 some good ones in the private gardens.
