The Florists^ Review 



OCTOBSB 14, 1915. 



MILWAUEEE. 



The Maxket. 



The cold weather last week helped 

 business to some extent. There was 

 a material increase in sales as the de- 

 mand for flowers became larger. Stock 

 in general is scarce. There does not 

 seem to be a sufficient supply to go 

 around and it is difficult to take care 

 of all orders satisfactorily. 



Boses are fine, but they are scarce, 

 with the possible exception of Ward 

 and Killarney. Carnations are arriv- 

 ing in larger quantities, but the de- 

 mand for them has increased faster 

 than the supply. The quality of carna- 

 tions is good and they would move 

 easily even if the supply were twice 

 as large. It is needless to say that 

 roses and carnations are cleaning up 

 each day at an early hour. The only 

 stock that is plentiful is the shorter 

 grade of rubrum lilies. There still are 

 a few asters and dahlias on the market, 

 but their quality is not good and it is 

 impossible to use them for shipping. 

 Local buyers are picking them up only 

 after all other stock is exhausted. Val- 

 ley remains scarce and is easily cleaned 

 up each morning. 



The early chrysanthemums are about 

 gone and the late varieties have not as 

 yet appeared. The supply is small and 

 the quality is inferior. Violets are ar- 

 riving in small quantities, but not 

 enough to amount to anything. There 

 are a few double violets, but they are 

 not at all good. The single variety, 

 however, is in fine shape and sells 



nicelv. 



Club Meeting. 



The Milwaukee Florists' Club had 

 an interesting meeting October 7. It 

 was proposed to stage an exhibit at 

 the Milwaukee Art Society, but this 

 was decided against on account of the 

 expense involved. The public does not 

 patronize anything of this nature 

 readily and the cash receipts are al- 

 ways problematical. A committee was 

 appointed to revise the premium list of 

 the annual state fair. The club is con- 

 sidering the possibility of entering a 

 bowling team in the tournament to be 

 held during the Cleveland show. 



W. A. Kennedy, of the C. C. Poll- 

 worth Co., who recently returned from 

 an extended trip to the coast, has con- 

 sented to give a talk on his trip, illus- 

 trating his words with stereopticon 

 views. C. B. Whitnall is scheduled for 

 a talk at the next meeting. The at- 

 tendance is always large when Mr. 

 Whitnall consents to entertain. 



The entertainment committee intends 

 to give the club members and their 

 friends an old-fashioned dance some- 

 time in the near future. 



Various Notes. 



F. Boyd August, of The Rosery, Win- 

 nipeg, Can., was a visitor here October 

 6. Mr. August visited the Brown Deer 

 plant of the Holton & Hunkel Co.
