The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



OCTOBEB 13, 1904. 



MILWAUKEE. 



At last week 's meeting of the Florists ' 

 Club, a florists' bowling team was or- 

 ganized and the committees in charge 

 will arrange for regular meetings and 

 social sessions during the winter months. 

 Papers will be read on various topics at 

 each meeting of the Florists' Club here- 

 after and discussions will be held on sub- 

 jects of interest to the trade. 



Most growers have finished benching 

 their carnations and the stock in general 

 has done well in the field this summer. 

 There will be a slight increase in stock 

 over last season. 



Frost and heavy rains have cut off all 

 outdoor stock and demand is brisk now 

 for all other lines. Trade in general has 

 been good the past week. Mums and vio- 

 lets are in, the former selling well. 



Seldom has a more magnificent display 

 of flowers been seen than was seen at 

 the funel-al of Postmaster General H. C. 

 Payne. Floral tributes from personal 

 friends, business associates and other or- 

 ganizations were sent in from all over 

 the country. The flowers which came 

 from Washington with the body almost 

 filled the car and they arrived in good 

 condition. They were masterpieces of 

 the florists' art. Among the most nota- 

 ble pieces were a wreath of orchids and 

 valley sent by the President and his wife, 

 a large wreath and mail pouch, a large 

 wreath with large floral envelope bearing 

 the inscription "His Last Letter," a 

 lamp post with mail box attached, a street 

 car sent by the Street Railway Co., an 

 immense basket of American Beauties, 

 also many pieces from civic organizations 

 and newspaper associates. It took sev- 

 eral wagons to convey the flowers to the 

 cemetery. Incog. 



The Holton & Hunkel greenhouses at 

 1200 Humboldt avenue were damaged by 

 fire to the extent of $3,000 October 8. 

 About 4:30 a. m. C. B. Whitnall, former 

 owner of the greenhouses and who lives 

 directly in front of them, discovered the 

 fire and turned in an alarm. The flames 

 had started in the boiler room, from 

 which both old and new greenhouses ex- 

 tend toward the east and the west. In 

 this center also are the bam and the work 

 sheds, all of which were destroyed. The 

 ends of the glass houses nearest the fire 

 were also burned off and the stock dam- 

 aged. The company has 25,000 square 

 feet of glass, a quarter of which, it is 

 estimated, was broken by fire and water. 

 The buildings are insured but not the 

 implements and tools. They had just 

 received a consignment of palms from 

 Holland, the duty and freight on which 

 amounted to $1,000. 



GRAND RAPIDS, MICa 



On the day that Charles Chadwick 

 opened his new retail store at Fulton and 

 La Grave streets he gave each visitor 

 a rose or carnation. J. A. Creelman is 

 the manager and is well known in the 

 town. The attendance^at the opening 

 was large. The new store is handsomely 

 fitted up. The greenhouse plant consists 

 of twenty-six houses and the stock is 

 looking good. Carnations and violets 

 have been the special crops in the past 

 but roses, particularly Beauties, will be 

 grown in the future.
