June 6, 1907. 



MILWAUKEE. 



The Market 



Trade for Decoration day was away 

 beyond expectations. The volume done 

 was in excess of last year, principally 

 due to the shortage of stock and the 

 high price on carnations and roses, as 

 there was not the quantity in the mar- 

 ket we had in previous years. There 

 was considerable difficulty in taking 

 care of late orders, as the supply de- 

 pended entirely on greenhouse grown 

 stock; there was practically no outdoor 

 stock in to relieve the market. Last 

 year there was an abundance of snow- 

 balls, lilac, tulips and valley to help 

 out, but this year none of this stock was 

 in on time. 



The call for carnations was something 

 enormous and thousands more could have 

 been sold had they been obtainable. 

 Peonies, lily of the valley, and tulips 

 are coming in now, which should have 

 been in for Memorial day, and would 

 have brought good returns. The con- 

 tinued cold weather keeps stock coming 

 in light and demand is still above sup- 

 ply; therefore, prices remain firm. 



Various Notes. 



Herman Staeps, Elm Grove, Wis., lost 

 his residence by fire June 1. This was 

 a large residence and originally built by 

 one of the Cudahy brothers for a sum- 

 mer home. Mr. Staeps acquii-ed the prop- 

 erty, in addition to the greenhouses, 

 which were on the grounds at the time, 

 which he enlarged considerably. The 

 loss is quite a serious one to Mr. Staeps, 

 although he carried insurance. 



Bedding stock has been moving rapid- 

 ly the last week or so. Geraniums have 

 been selling at an average of about $1 

 per hundred higher than previous years, 

 and some growers were even demanding 

 $10 per hundred for 4-inch stock and 

 found ready sale for the same. Many 

 other varieties of bedding plants were 

 also higher than in past seasons. 



C. C. Pollworth Co. took in a carload 

 of palms from Belgium right during 

 the Decoration day rush. 



Holton & Hunkel Co. says all records 

 were broken by cut flower sales for 

 Decoration daj.

It is used in Machi' e or Bulb. If too thick for bulb^ thin with a little Pure Linseed Oil boiled. 

 So thinned, it can be brushed into any CT&fk or leak, makmir a solid fillinK. It maces a >olid bed, 

 impervious to moisture, and holds glat-s in its place, and will stop any crevice o fault Wh n once 

 set on dry wood it does nut heave. As regards the K<iods, tbe article is no new Invention, but 

 simply an article of the very best class to do thoroughly good worn, line old-iime geudemen 

 expected when sashes were made with lead, and small panes of glass used that caught the water and 

 leaked unless set with an elastic nutty which once set by a mechanic was exp cted to remain, 

 and did remain in good shaue. Th s Twom'nw's Old English O azing Putty does; nothing more,
