From the Florists' Review 

 of August 20, 1908: 



CHRYSANTHEMUM GOLDEN GLOV 



It Beemfl that each eeason chryeanthe- 

 mums come in earlier and earlier, and 

 it is only natural that the growers should 

 strive to be early, because the early 

 stock has brought excellent prices for 

 several years. 



This year the C. 

 Milwaukee, has set 

 mums with Golden 



ready early in August. The accompany- 

 ing illustration is from a photograph of 

 some blooms cut August 12. The picture 

 gives a good idea of the character of the 

 stock, which is reported to have sold 

 excellently.

The Market 



Christmas certainly was a hummer. 

 There was plenty of all kinds of stock 

 of really good quality, and reports have 

 it that all orders up to the last were well 

 taken care of. Business was fully as 

 good as last year, with the exception 

 that cut flowers did not soar quite so 

 high in price, this being partially caused 

 by the great quantities of pot plants, 

 which found ready sale, more so than 

 in previous years. The market for holly 

 and other greens turned out better than 

 was anticipated. 



Various Notes. 



The Holton & Hunkel Co. was right in 

 with its crop of Beauties and found no 

 trouble in disposing of them at satisfac- 

 tory prices. Shipping trade with them 

 was extra fine for the holidays. 



The M. A. McKenney Co. reports a 

 fine holiday trade, with special call for 

 poinsettias. 



Mrs. Ennis, of the Wisconsin Floral 

 Co., at the Caswell block, says that up to 

 a lew days before Christmas trade was 

 slow, but it all came in a rush and they 

 found it a hard task to keep up, for they 

 have a good deal of transient trade, 

 which called mainly for Beauties and 

 violets. They ran short on holly. 



A short way up Grand avenue, "Will 

 Zimmerman, who has worked up a good 

 trade since embarking in the retail busi- 

 ness five years ago, had to increase his 

 working crew threefold to keep up with 

 the best business he ever had. There 

 was a large demand for pot poinsettias. 



New Carnation Edward 



This new seedlinjf Carnation is a wonder for producing flowers, full of business from start 

 to finish, continuous throuKhout the season, cannot be beat for productiveness, easily grown 

 and propagated. Ueacrlption: Deep pink in color, very large and well built up in center, with 

 good stem and calyx. Comes into bloom early and keeps at it with wonderful results. 91)>>00 

 per 100; $100.00 per 1000. Will be heard from with others in the future.

He commented on the fine quality of lo- 

 cally grown carnations, saying they never 

 were better. 



August Kellner, whose long suit is 

 floral decorations, had to fill all orders on 

 short notice, for they were not placed in 

 as good season as is customary. He 

 has several good sized decorations for 

 New Year's, the main one being at the 

 Deutscher Club. 



The Edlefsen-Leidiger Co. did not go 

 amiss in growing large quantities of va- 

 rious pot plants, for they sold out clean 

 by noon on Christmas day. Cut flower 

 trade was also very satisfactory. They 

 were compelled to work all through 

 Wednesday and Thursday nights. 



The C. C. Pollworth Co. moved all the 

 pot plants grown at its greenhouses in 

 good shape, and was well satisfied with 

 the shipping trade in cut flowers. 



A HAPPY NEW YEAR

James Chacona, who conducts flower 

 stands at 87 "Wisconsin street and the 

 Plankinton hotel, says he prepared for a 

 good Christmas trade, and as he adver- 

 tised heavily in the daily papers, got all 

 that was coming to him. He handles main- 

 ly roses. Beauties, violets and carnations. 

 He was all sold out on the last named by 

 4 p. m. December 24 and could get no 

 more till next day. He, too, relies large- 

 ly upon transient trade. E. O.
