The Weekly Florists' Review. 



December 3, 1908. 



MILWAUKEE. 



The Market 



In summing up the volume of busi- 

 ness done for the past year, the florists 

 of Milwaukee and vicinity had every 

 • reason to be thankful on Thanksgiving 

 day, for, compared with those in most 

 other lines of business, the florists did 

 not feel the recent financial disturbance 

 as much as they might. While the aver- 

 age prices straight through were a lit- 

 tle less, the volume of business done 

 did not decrease, so there was always 

 something doing. 



As was expected, the local market was 

 well supplied in all lines except double 

 violets. The demand for these has been 

 good, and, owing to the limited supply 

 of good locally grown stock, they have 

 been kept' cleaned up right along. 



Both roses and carnations were plenti- 

 ful and good. The heavy supply in all 

 lines made it hard to hold thp. price up. 

 Generally at this time of the year mums 

 are on the wane, but last week found 

 them in all kinds and> sizes, selling 

 at from 50 cents to $3 a dozen, partially 

 causing the decline in price of other cut 

 flowers. Valley and sweet peas sold 

 well. 



Friday being shipping day, the market 

 was well cleaned up by Saturday night. 

 Business has been fine since. 



On the whole, it can safely be said 

 that mums so far sold for 25 cents to 

 40 cents less than last season. 



Various Notes. 



Nie Zweifel, of North Milwaukee, was 

 fortunate to be right in on Victory and 

 Beacon carnations for the Thanksgiving 

 trade. 



Holton & Hunkel Co. reports that laat 

 Tuesday was a banner day for them 

 in the shipping trade. 



C. C. PoUworth Co., in speaking of 

 the stock for last week, says that for 

 once there was no pickled stock. This 

 firm has just received a carload of Christ- 

 mas holly, to be used for far distant 

 shipments and local window trimming. 



The football game November 26, be- 

 tween Notre Dame, of Indiana, and the 

 local Marquette team, caused a rushing 

 business in yellow mums. 



In the prettily decorated parlors of 

 the Republican House, on Thanksgiving 

 afternoon at 5, the marriage of Miss 

 Bertha Poehlmann, of Milwaukee, and 

 August Hoppe, of New York, took place. 

 August Poehlmann, of Morton Grove, was 

 best man. He, together with his broth- 

 ers, Adolph, John and Gustavo, came up 

 from Chicago for the occasion. E. O.

It Doesn't Pay 

 To Hang On 

 Old Ways 



For instance, take the wooden 

 plate and post houee— it was a 

 good house in its day— but things 

 change— improvements come and 

 competition gets so keen that you 

 must keep down all sorts of repair 

 bills — grow stock of better quality. 

 The use of our Patented Ice- 

 Clearing Eave Plate in combina- 

 tion with the Sash Bar Clasp and 

 Guaranteed Wrought Iron Post 

 is one of the ways to do it. We 

 can show you. Send for infor- 

 mation.
