Two wills of- the late Michael Schmit, 

 St., have been offered for probate. 

 Schmit, who lived at 959 Churchill ave- 

 nue, died on November 28, leaving an 

 estate valued at $75 in personalty and 

 $2,500 in real estate. December 5 his 

 son, Michael Schmit, Jr., applied for 

 appointment as executor of the estate, 

 having filed a will made by his father on 

 April 13, 1903, in which the entire es- 

 tate was left to him. While the son 

 was making application for appointment 

 as executor, through Attorney Victor 

 Abraham, Attorney Joseph Schroeder, 

 who represents the widow and step- 

 mother, came into the courtroom. At- 

 torney Abraham suggested that the 

 widow might waive service then and 

 there, to which Attorney Schroeder an- 

 swered that the son might do likewise, 

 following up his statement by exhibiting 

 a will dated September 20, 1906, in 

 which the widow is left everything and 



is named as executrix, the son being cut 

 off entirely. The two wills were then 

 pinned together and filed for the hearing.

The Market 



Trade has not been heavy with any 

 of the dealers. A few of them were 

 favored with some nice orders for fu- 

 neral work, but outside of that business 

 was quiet. Considerable activity is dis- 

 played in decorating for Christmas and 

 already some very pretty effects are 

 noted. 



Stocks are kept up well, notwithstand- 

 ing the dull business. Koses are about 

 as good as we have ever had. Carna- 

 tions will be scarce. A visit to some of 

 our leading carnation growers brings this 

 situation in plain view. Miscellaneous 

 stock is looking good and considerable 

 will be cut Christmas. Blooming plants 

 are plentiful. Every grower seems to 

 have a full supply of good stock. Prices 

 are high and it begins to look as though 



the retailer would be compelled to ask a 

 big price in order to make much during 

 the holiday trade. 



Holly and green are selling well, but 

 the commission houses have cut the trade 

 up considerably.

Alfred Lemke, of the new firm of Col- 

 berg & Lemke, was married a few days 

 ago. He is the son of one of our oldest 

 florists, E. F. Lemke. 



Holm & Olson say trade has been quiet 

 in flowers for social occasions, but the 

 demand for funeral work was very good 

 last week. 



L. L. May & Co. have stocked up with 

 a big line of Christmas novelties, in bas- 

 kets, hampers, etc. 



C. F. Vogt has made and ready for 

 delivery some very fine holly wreaths. 

 He is expert in turning out that class 

 of work. 



August Vogt reports a quiet week 

 but a great many inquiries for Christmas 

 stock. 



E. F. Lemke is still cutting some fine 

 mums and believes that he is going to
