The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



July 23, 1908. 



MILVAUKEE. 



The Market 



Up to a week ago, reports were good, 

 but now there is not much doing. Indoor 

 stock has shortened up considerably. 

 Eoses are just about equal to demand, 

 while carnations are nearly all in, or 

 out, for most growers are ■ busy getting 

 their benches in shape for next season. 

 The hot weather of late was detrimental 

 to sweet peas, but these will improve 

 after the receijt rainfall and more cool 

 atmosphere. The quantity and quality of 

 asters improve daily. 



Various Notes. 



Friday, July 17, at 7 p. m., the coun- 

 try north of Milwaukee was visited by 

 a heavy rain storm, with some wind and 

 hail. The latter surprised three of the 

 growers in that vicinity by breaking just 

 a few panes of glass, and no doubt re- 

 minded them of the existing hail insur- 

 ance company. The Holton & Hunkel 

 Co. and Manke Bros, suffered only 

 a small loss. Nic Zweifel had quite a 

 few shoots broken off his carnations by 

 wind and hail. 



Mrs, Baumgarten, of the Baumgarten 

 Floral Co., had an operation performed 

 last week, and it will be some time be- 

 fore she will leave the hospital. 



The Mueller & Schroeder Co., having 

 all the old stock and soil out, will begin 

 to plant carnations in a short time, ex- 

 pecting to finish by August 1. Their 

 young stock looks well. 



>lic Zweifel spent Thursday and Fri- 

 day visiting some of the large growers 

 near Chicago. 



Visitors: Theo. Kienahs, La Crosse, 

 Wis.; Adam Zender, Park Eidge, HI.; 

 Wm. A. Schaefer, of the Platteville Flo- 

 ral Co., Platteville, Wis. E.G.

The Market 



Stock is scarce and trade quiet. Sweet 

 peas are the only thing that is at all 

 plentiful and they are none too good. 

 Asters come in slowly and all have short 

 stems. Boses are small and poor. 



Various Notes. 



Al. Eeichert, the Genesee street florist, 

 was married last week. 



About half the florists in town are 

 taking their vacations this week. We 

 hope they will all return in time to 

 take in the florists' picnic, to be held 

 July 29. Do not forget the date, men 

 and women. The final arrangements have 

 been made and we hope to have the 

 largest crowd in the records of the club. 



The ball game is causing the greatest 

 amount of talk and, from the number 

 of applicants for positions, it will be a 

 red-hot game. The tug of war will also 

 be a special feature. E. A. S. 



SAGINAW, MICH. 



John J. Bittner and Herman Deik- 

 mann, landscape architects of this city, 

 have trimmed about 3,500 shade and or- 

 namental trees and have planted also a 

 large number of trees and shrubbery, 

 which add greatly to the appearance of 

 the city. 



They also intend to get after the tus- 

 sock moth immediately. The park sys- 

 tem also has its hands full with the 

 spraying and has experimented with 

 some of the new insecticides now on the 

 market.
