MILVAUKEE. 



The Cream City Market. 



With plenty of funeral work, business 

 for the end of June and the beginning 

 of July, both locally and shipping, was 

 good. Outdoor stock arrived in quantity 

 and moved well; only Shasta daisies 

 seemed to hang fire. The most of these 

 could not be moved at any price and 

 those that sold left a narrow margin for 

 the grower after commission and ex- 

 press charges were deducted. The de- 

 mand for sweet peas was good, and they 

 cleaned up as fast as they came in. 

 Good carnations, which are scarce, sell 

 at 2 cents; there are any amount of poor 

 carnations coming in which really ought 

 to be dumped at home. 



Not many Beauties are around nowa- 

 days, but they expect the new crop in a 

 short time. For some unaccountable 

 reason, larkspur sold fine for July 4. Al- 

 though only a few came in last week, it 

 will not be long before the aster song 

 will again be popular. 



Holton & Hunkel Co. says it never 

 had such a good Fourth of July as this 

 year; busy till noon. 



Adolph Fuchs, lately with Nic Zweifel, 

 left June 29, after ""spending a few days 

 visiting the big growers about Chicago, 

 for Kirkwood, Mo., to accept the posi- 

 tion as manager for the Oakland Floral 

 Co. The place was vacated by his 

 friend, Pierre Schneider. 



Herman Stebs, of Elm Grove, Wis., 

 still cuts some good Beauties, which are 

 consigned to C. C. Pollworth Co. 



With frequent showers, carnation 

 stock in the field is looking good. 



With a light attendance, there was not 

 much doing at the club meeting July 2. 

 All BJeB^ot were in favor of having a 

 picnic^ ^d the entertainment committee 

 was instructed to make arrangements as 

 to place, time, etc. E. O. 



COLUMBIA, MO. 



The horticultural department of the 

 University of Missouri has just begun 

 work on the erection of a new range of 

 greenhouses. This summer only one 

 house, 25x100 feet, will be erected. This 

 will be attached to a frame structure 

 about 25x60 feet, which is to serve the 

 purpose of a class room and for general 

 potting room work. It is the intention 

 to add to this potting room several more 

 houses similar to the one now under con- 

 struction. 



There is an increasing need of green- 

 house space among the various investi- 

 gators in plant production, and this 

 alone will demand the use of possibly 

 three such houses as the one now being 

 built. There is a growing demand, also, 

 among the students taking work in horti- 

 culture for instruction and practical work 

 in the handling of general greenhouse 

 crops. To meet these demands this in- 

 stitution expects, in the next few years, 

 to erect and maintain a fairly extensive 

 range of houses devoted to vegetables 

 and cut flowers. E. H. Favor.
