The Weekly Florists' Review. 



OCTOBBB 8, 1008. 



MILVAUKEE. 



The Market 



The frosts October 1 and 2 put all 

 outdoor stock out of the way and reports 

 are that business was good and stock 

 scarce last week. Funeral work was 

 plentiful. The cool nights also helped to 

 shorten up the indoor crops ; consequently 

 everything brought a good price. Good 

 carnations brought 2 to 3 cents. All 

 mums sold readily. 



Various Notes. 



The regular monthly club meeting Oc- 

 tober 1 was well attended and things 

 were interesting for some time. The 

 local club cooperated this year with the 

 State Board of Agriculture at the state 

 fair grounds. It came to light that the 

 wording and arranging of the premium 

 list, judging, etc., could have been con- 

 siderably improved upon, and to this end 

 the president was empowered to appoint 

 a committee of three to meet the state 

 board sometime in the near future to 

 call attention to the weak points and 

 make suitable suggestions. 



Nie Zweifel, of North Milwaukee, took 

 to the northern woods, October 2, for a 

 hunting and fishing trip. 



Holton & Hunkel Co. is erecting a sash 

 house 16x100 feet for storage purposes. 



The C. C. Pollworth Co. is receiving 

 some fine mums from its Wauwatosa 

 plant. * E. O. 



PEORIA, ILL. 



Current G>nitnent. 



Peoria and vicinity were visited by a 

 cold wave, with killing frosts, this week. 



Mr. Klopfer has secured the position 

 of landscape gardener at the Illinois 

 Asylum for the Insane. 



D. U. Augspurger & Sons disposed of 

 a large lot of Boston ferns, in large 

 sizes, to a local department store. A. M. 

 Augspurger, president of this firm, says 

 business is good and the outlook encour- 

 aging. J. E. Hack, a representative of 

 the firm, has returned from a two weeks' 

 trip. 



Mr. Washburn, of Bloomington, HI., 

 was a Peoria visitor last week. 



H. C. R. 



Lisbon Falls, Me.— H. W. Blethen 

 has had a new well dug, in order to ob- 

 tain a better supply of water for his 

 greenhouses. 



Fekdonia, Kan.— L. C. Bunch reports 

 that on the night of September 27 there 

 was a frost which killed coleus and 

 blighted geraniums and all other bed- 

 ding plants.

Facts Worth Learning 



MT LOOK, BROTHER MINE I LISTEN I ym 



What GODFREY ASCHMANN, the Philadelphia Hustler, the great foreseer, has 



got to say. He never goes wrong. 



W" HE PREDICTS QREAT PROSPERITY I 

 NOW BEFORE THE DOOR 



You will sell everything you have at good 

 prices. After a hot spell follows a cold one; after 

 rain, sunshine; after a panic, money plentiful, 

 and you have got a chance 



TO FIIiL. YOUR POCK£TS IF TOU WISH 



TO DO SO. 



ABE YOU PREPARED FOR THE RUSH ? 



Brother, think it over; it is high time. When 

 will you start in? Now, of course. Waiting 

 means suicide. 



NOT ASLEEP. 



We are well prepared to meet all demands. 

 The Araucaria King means to sell his Araucarias, 

 and the motto of the moveman means Keep a 

 Moving. Eighteen years of experience of im- 

 porting, growing, shipping and handling of Arau- 

 carias Dnngs us in the foreground of any mer- 

 chant in the business; so well known that any 

 florist from the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean can 

 sing a song of Godfrey Aschmann's Araucarias.
