The Weekly Florists' Review* august 12. 1900 



MILWAUKEE. 



The Mariut 



Owing t* (he ' ' Homecoming, ' ' which 

 took place last week, August 3 to 7 in- 

 clusive, the florists' business, from the 

 wholesalers' standpoint, was practically 

 at a standstill. Shipping trade, however, 

 kept up well and helped to move some of 

 the good stock on hand. Carnations are 

 the only scarce article just now, and 

 there would not be any call for them if 

 asters amounted to anything. As it is, 

 the early varieties with most growers are 

 a failure and the midseason and late ones 

 have suffered from drought all through 

 July, so that prospects in that direction 

 are not any too bright. Sweet peas are 

 also shorter stemmed than in previous 

 seasons. The rose supply is fair, both in 

 quality and quantity; too many gladioli 

 of the darker shades were also evident. 



Various Notes. 



Thinking that the Homecoming spirit 

 prevailed among most of our florists. 

 President C. Dallwig postponed the club 

 meeting from last Thursday to this week. 



Nic Zweifel, state vice-president of 

 the S. A. F., mailed a lot of circulars 

 last week Saturday, calling attention to 

 the coming convention at Cincinnati and 

 soliciting new members. At this time 

 the following have signified their inten- 

 tion of attending: F. H. Holton, Nic 

 Zweifel, C. C. Pollworth and H. V. 

 Hunkel. 



Tickets for the Florists' Club's annual 

 picnic, to be held August 22, at Crystal 

 Spring park, are in the hands of the en- 

 tertainment committee, consisting of Gust 

 Kusch, "Will Zimmerman and Gene Oest- 

 reieher; all arrangements have been com- 

 pleted and it is now up to the members 

 and their friends to make it the most 

 enjoyable affair to date. 



Gust Eusch, manager at the Holton & 

 Hunkel salesroom, is spending his vaca- 

 tion this week fishing. 



The parades, both floral and historical, 

 last Wednesday and Friday afternoon, 

 during the Homecoming, proved that 

 Milwaukee people and florists are still 

 behind the times in putting forth any 

 efforts to promote their own interests, or 

 to show their love for natural floweis. 

 In the auto parade artificial flowers only 

 were used and in the parade Friday, Wm. 

 Zimmerman was the only florist with a 

 turnout, but it was a credit to all con- 

 cerned, consisting of one of his fine de- 

 livery wagons, trimmed with sword ferns 

 in pots, Asparagus plumosus, asters, 

 gladioli, doves and ribbon. It shows there 

 is at least one man in the trade who 

 believes in advertising. 



Last week the preliminary premium 

 lists for the Milwaukee flower show, to 

 be held at the new Auditorium, November 

 11 to 14, were sent out. Same may be 

 had by addressing H. V. Hunkel, chair- 

 man, 462 Milwaukee street, Milwaukee, 

 Wis. 



Complete and revised premium lists 

 and rules with entry blanks will be mailed 

 October 1. 



Bertrand H. Farr, Reading, Pa., presi- 

 dent of the Peony Society, was the guc3t 

 of his cousin, Fred Holton, a few days 

 last week. 



Other visitors were: Mrs. Guillaume 

 and son. La Crosse, Wis., and Mr. and 

 Mrs. Adam Zender, Eogers Park, 111. 



Most of the Racine florists and many 

 others from neighboring towns took a 

 look at our city while in its holiday attire 

 for the Homecoming, which was a suc- 

 cess and directly benefited all except the 

 florists. E. O.
