JUNB 8, 1905. 



MILWAUKEE. 



The Market. 



Memorial day trade was a "corker," 

 to use the shortest expression. It was 

 away ahead of any holiday in the past 

 year and excelled last year's business 

 for the same day. Everything was sold 

 out clean and prices were satisfactory all 

 around. The call for carnations was un- 

 precedented and if demand governed the 

 prices, these went the limit. Eoses, cape 

 jasmine, valley and lilies were plentiful 

 enough to meet all requirements. 



Owing to unfavorable weather during 

 the early part of the month, the outlook 

 for unloading all the bedding stock was 

 poor, as there is a lot of it grown in 

 this market, but the call took a brace 

 during the latter part of the month and 

 nearly everybody cleaned out. Gerani- 

 ums sold well and the call for hardy 

 shrubs has increased considerably. 



Various Notes. 



The Exposition building, where the 

 convention of the S. A. F. was held in 

 1903, was totally destroyed by fire last 

 Sunday evening. , 



The Florists' Club gave an entertain- 

 ment to members and ladies Tuesday 

 evening. C. B. Whitnall gkve a stereop- 

 ticon lecture on California. Eefresh- 

 ments and a dance followed. A most en- 

 joyable evening was spent. Incog. 



Columbus, O. — The Livingston Seed 

 Co. reports that the business in the plant 

 and cut flower department surpassed all 

 previous records for Decoration day. 



Toledo, 0. — A wagon in which Bert 

 Ostertag was making a delivery May 29, 

 was struck by a street car. Mr. Oster- 

 tag was thrown to the pavement and his 

 hands and face severely cut. 



Cbeston, Ia. — Eric Joneson had the 

 order for bedding at McKinley park but 

 cannot make the beds stay planted. He 

 has complained to the police that the 

 stock is stolen as fast as set out. 



Mattoon, III. — The peonies have done 

 exc«ptionally well in this vicinity this 

 season, the quality of the blooms mar- 

 keted having never been better. J. W. 

 Schrader shipj)ed a fine lot to Chicago. 



Cabthage, Mo. — On May 31, heavy 

 hail played ha,voc with the glass at the 

 greenhouses of Perry Finn and B. W. 

 Speece. Mr. Finn's loss will not be far 

 from $1,000 but it would have been 

 greater had he glazed the new houses 

 being built to replace the ones burned 

 last winter. The glass for the purpose 

 was on the ground in the boxes.
