MILWAUKEE. 



The Market. 



With asters and other outdoor stock 

 practically at an end, last week found 

 carnations and roses moving finely and 

 everybody reports a good run of busi- 

 ness. All stock is improving as time 

 goes on, and undoubtedly will be much 

 improved when the weather gets settled, 

 for the unusual heat which we had until 

 lately certainly was not beneficial. 



Mums in the white and yellow shades 

 are arriving in small lots and are easily 

 disposed of. Green goods are about 

 equal to the demand. 



Various Notes* 



'Gust Pohl, who built quite an addi- 

 tion this summer, now has everything 

 in apple pie order, with stock in good 

 shape. He is beginning to cut some 

 snapdragon of good quality. 



The C. C. Pollworth Co. is getting 

 ready to go into business on a much 

 larger scale, to judge by the new ice- 

 box, which has a capacity of four times 

 that of the old one, and the leasing of 

 new quarters two doors south of the pres- 

 ent store, which will ■ be used for bulbs 

 and florists' supplies. 



The Holton & Hunkel Co. says the 

 shipping trade last week was fine and 

 everything cleaned up well. 



Nic Zweifel, at North Milwaukee, has 

 the grading done preparatory to building 

 another house, 28x200 feet. 



Otto Sylvester, of Oconomowoc, Wis., 

 was in town September 26, and says he 

 had quite a time getting his stock housed 

 this season. 



Visitors: B. Eschner, of M. Eice & 

 Co., Philadelphia; Mr. Dietsch, of the 

 A. Dietsch Co., Chicago. E. O.
