MILWAUKEE. 



The Market 



For the last week it can be stated 

 that business was a little ahead of the 

 week previous. Stock, also, was more 

 plentiful. A nice shower August 11 put 

 an end to the driest season on record 

 since the establishment of our local bu- 

 reau in 1871, for we were minus rain for 

 twenty-three days, but all is well again 

 and no doubt will remain so for the rest 

 of the summer season. 



Up to a few uays ago white asters 

 were plentiful and colored stock scarce. 

 Now it is just the reverse and most oi 

 them are rather short-stemmed and not 

 as large as in former years. Gladioli are 

 good and enough to go around. The 

 same can be said of young roses, while 

 the supply of green goods exceeds the 

 demand. 



One grower stiil has some old carna- 

 tions, which have been well taken care 

 of, and these bring 2 cents and 3 cents. 

 Still, it may not be such a good specu- 

 lation on the long run, anyway. 



Various Notes. 



Miss Rose Semler, for more than fifteen 

 years with the Edlefsen-Leidiger Co., has 

 returned from her vacation, which lasted 

 two weeks. 



On Saturday, August 15, Holton & 

 Hunkel received their first cut "of roses, 

 Rhea Reid, from their new houses at 

 Brown Deer. 



At the recent meeting of cemetery su- 

 perintendents, James Currie, of this city, 

 was elected president. 



There have been many calls for field- 

 grown carnation plants so far, and pros- 

 pects are good for a rushing business in 

 this line, for good stock is not overplen- 



tiful. 



The following joined the Chicago party 

 on their trip to the S. A. F. convention : 

 Mr. and Mrs. C. C. PoUworth, Mr. and 

 Mrs. Nic Zweifel, Mrs. C. B, Whitnall 

 and Mrs. Potter. E. O. 



Rome, N. Y. — The Humphrey Floral

 dence, lot and greenhouses on East
