MILWAUKEE. 



The Market 



There was a marked improvement in 

 trade last week. Everything sold out 

 clean and prices were firm. Plenty of 

 funeral work caused heavy demand on 

 light-colored stock. Violets also moved 

 better. Prices ruled about the same as 

 the previous week, but none were left 

 over. 



Bulb stock is coming in more freely, 

 but the general shortage keeps it moving 

 at good figures. The supply of green 

 goods is shortening up. Smilax is scarce, 

 also Sprengeri, but plenty of plumosus 

 is on the market. Valley is plentiful. 

 There is some stevia still coming in, but 

 the quality is on the wane. Callas are 

 coming in more freely, but the supply is 

 still unequal to the demand. 



Vartotti Notes. 



Alexander Klockner read a paper on 

 "Landscape Gardening" at the Flo- 

 rists' Club's meeting February 7. There 

 was a good attendance and the paper 

 brought out considerable discussion. It 

 was an able paper, covering all points 

 on landscape work, and was much ap- 

 preciated. 



Nick Zweifel is still on the sick list, 

 but is on the road to recovery. 



With the beginning of Lent there ap- 

 pears to be a good crop of flowers ar- 

 riving in all lines. The supply of roses 

 is increasing daily.

3 NEW CANNAS 



WILLIAM SAUNDERS 



The flowers are large, of splendid form, and are borne very freely in immense clusters. 

 The color is a deep rich shiaing scarlet slightly dappled with crimson. Foliage is a ricli 

 bronze. Height, 3^ to 4 feet. We believe that Wm. Saunders is decidedly the most perfect 

 Oanna of this type that has been introduced. 50c each; $5.00 per doz.; $35.00 per 100. 



OTTAWA 



Is a strong grower, very robust and 5 to 6 feet high. The flowers are large and beau- 

 tifully formed, color is carmine with tints of old rose and deep coral, add to this the silken 

 sheen and you can imagine the eflect a few plants will produce. 



NOTE— We had this Canna on trial among the Canadian experimental stations last 

 summer and this is the oilieial report of their expert: "Quite distinct and one of the most 

 beautiful shades of color I ever saw in Oannas. Of 70 massed in one bed during the past 

 season, this was the most floriferous in the collection, coming into bloom early and con- 

 tinuing until cut down by frost, as many as 13 expanded beads of blooms being counted at 

 one time on a plant, and not a poor one among them, all being of immense size." 50c each; 

 $5.00 per doz.; $85.00 per 100. 



NEW YORK 



Has the Orchid type of flower. They have much more substance than the flowers of 

 the other varieties of this class, and will stand the hot sunshine as well as the toughest 

 varieties of cannas. The color is a solid rich scarlet covered with a beautiful glowing sheen. 

 The flowers are large and contrast beautifully with the dark bronze foliage. 50c each; 

 $5.00 per doz.: $35.00 per 100. 



Send for our list and prices of 60 other leading varieties of Cannas.
