MILWAUKEE has a reputation as being a cool city (inSafgiapSrtl.'^'a^^^^^ due 

 to the cool winds from Lake Michigan. This cool temperature keeps our Car- 

 nations and other stock in fine shape long after stock from other cities is poor. 

 Just now our Carnations are fine. Try them.

the club, after which the meeting ad- 

 journed. 



The Florists ' Club has, since this meet- 

 ing, decided to omit the regular month- 

 ly meetings until September, as it was 

 thought that the members needed all the 

 rest possible to be obtained during the 

 hot summer months. No meetings will be 

 held unless a special meeting i,^ i^alled 

 by the president, H. H. Ritter. 



Varioui Note*. 



Mrs. Elizabeth Young left June 7 

 for Des Moines, la., where she has been 

 sent as state representative of the De- 

 gree of Honor of A. O. W. of Ohio. 

 Mrs. Young expects to be gone at least 

 two weeks and expects to stop in Chi- 

 cago on her return home. 



.Tohn Boehner was kept busy last week 

 with funeral orders. 



H. H. Ritter has completed his deco- 

 rations at the Algonquin hotel roof gar- 

 den, which is said to be quite elaborate. 

 Mr. Ritter was very busy last week with 

 some large wedding decorations. 



We note by the report of the weather 

 conditions in Chicago that that city has 

 had an overabundance of rain, while 

 in Dayton it is very hot and dry. The 

 Dayton florists therefore request that 

 Chicago send a little of the rain this 

 way. Everything in the fields is suf- 

 fering dreadfully for the want of a 

 shower. 



The traveling salesmen, who during 

 Decoration day rush were taking life 

 easy, arc beginning to make their re- 

 appearance on the program. 



The Miami Floral Co. has plans under 

 way for the erection of a concrete tank, 

 and a new packing room, office, cellar 

 and storeroom. They intend to start 

 building in about three weeks.

Hutchinson, Kan. — .Tohn Stamm has 

 planted the beds at the Santa Fe station 

 grounds, the principal feature being the 

 word "Hutchinson" in coleus. 



Anderson, Ind. — Stuart & Hough say 

 that business has been good in spite of 

 unfavorable weather, too wet and too 

 warm. A big business was done in plants 

 for Memorial day and the results were 

 entirely satisfactory. 



Worcester, Mass. — Memorial day 

 trade was heavier here this year than 

 ever before, according to the testimony 

 of a majority of the florists. The 

 strength and endurance of everyone in 

 the business were taxed to the utmost in 

 the effort to supply orders, and many of 

 the forces worked two nights without 

 sleep. It is stated that even the Easter 

 trade was greatly exceeded by this 

 Decoration day rush. The amount of 

 work was increased, and the resultant 

 profits somewhat decreased, by the ex- 

 cessive heat, which caused the flowers to 

 wilt quickly in spite of every effort to 

 keep them fresh. 



Madison, N. J. — Brant-Hentz Flower 

 Co. has been incorporated; capital, $2,- 

 000; incorporators, Elwood Brant, Henry 

 Hentz, Jr., and Bankson R. Morgan.
