The Weekly Florists* Review. 



Febkuaby 18, 1009. 



MILWAUKEE. 



TiuVlukeL 



With favorable weather up to last Sat- 

 urday and with plenty of good stock ex- 

 cept in roses and Beauties, business was 

 good. Saturday came in with snow and 

 wind, and with the weather man predict- 

 ing a cold wave. A good many pros- 

 pective buyers, therefore, hesitated in 

 placing orders. Consequently the amount 

 of business for St. Valentine's day did 

 not come up to expectations. Bed carna- 

 tions and violets were most called for, 

 but still some of the latter were left over. 

 Funeral work was quite plentiful. 



Various Notes. 



The entertainment committee of the 

 Florists' Club was well rewarded for its 

 work at the annual dancing party, held 

 February 11. The hall was neatly dec- 

 orated with palms and ferns, donated by 

 the A. F. Kellner Co, Charles Menger 

 and E. Welke, and southern smilax from 

 the Holton & Hunkel Co. The weather 

 being ideal, the attendance was large, 

 thus making it the most successful affair, 

 socially and financially, of its kind thus 

 far. No doubt these events are the best 

 means of promoting the feeling of good 

 fellowship among the craft. 



The Eev. E. Perry, of the Wesley Meth- 

 odist Episcopal church, of this city, re- 

 cently held a second flower service, dis- 

 tributing 1,000 red carnations, while he 

 used fully as many roses for the previous 

 service, thus putting our product in a still 

 higher class than it is sometimes credited 

 with. 



That strange bird, the stork, paid the 

 home of Mr. and Mrs. A. Leidiger a visit 

 last Thursday, leaving a bouncing baby 

 girl. There is great rejoicing, as it is 

 their first-bom. 



The destruction by fire of the ware- 

 house of the Johns-Manville Co., 225 

 Clybourn street, last Saturday, was quite 

 a sad affair, causing the death of five 

 firemen, with several others hovering be- 

 tween life and death at this writing. It 

 was the falling of a brick wall which 

 caused the calamity. E. O. 



Decorah, Ia. — The Perry Florists' As- 

 sociation held its winter meeting Febru- 

 ary 4 with Mr. and Mrs. Symonds, at 

 the Decorah Greenhouses. 



MiLFOBD, Conn. — A stock company for 

 conducting a florists' establishment has 

 been formed. The capital stock will be 

 $10,000, in 100 shares of $100. The 

 majority of the shares are owned by

 gerford, of Milford, and Chester Com-
