MILWAUKEE. 



TheMai^t 



Business, up to a short time before 

 Thanksgiving, was not any too brisk, 

 but for Thanksgiving business took quite 

 a jump and from reports it was the best 

 yet. This, no doubt, can be attributed 

 to the following causes : First, that times 

 are improving, and, second, the results 

 of our recent grand flower show, which 

 already lias made its effects felt. The 

 supply, Sunday and Monday previous to 

 Thanksgiving, was limited, due to a 

 <I(K)<1 iiianv growers holding on to stock. 

 anticipating heavy returns in due time; 

 but in some cases it was a poor specula- 

 tion. However, taken all in all, stock 

 cleaned up well by Thursday morning. 



Mum receipts were heavy, but they 

 moved well. Roses were plentiful. Beau- 

 ties and violets were mainly called for, 

 and in carnations the call was for En- 

 chantress and red. There were more 

 white than otlier colors; thus they did 

 not command the higher price. Colored 

 stock sold from 3 to 4 cents, while the 

 best roses realized 8 cents. 



Vtrious Notes. 



At tiio Edlefsen-Leidiger Co. they re- 

 port a satisfactory volume of business 

 for Thanksgiving in the cut flower line, 

 while pot plants sold in limited quanti- 

 ties only. 



When the writer called on Wm. Zim- 

 nierniann, lie was busy making a funeral 

 design in the form of a traveling bag. 

 He said that Thanksgiving trade was the 

 best since he had been in business. 



Robert Zejinick, wiio can speak for tlie 

 south side, said that business was fine, 

 that they had a nice batch of middle- 

 sized pot chrysanthemums and they sold 

 out completely for Thanksgiving, and 

 that means they will grow more another 

 season. 



The call at the Wisconsin Floral Co. 

 was mainly for cut mums and violets. 

 They reported that trade is gradually im- 

 proving. The mild weather of the last 

 few days gave them a g6od chance to 

 ilisplay some stock on the outside of their 

 show window. 



C. C. Pollworth returned from his an- 

 nual hunting trip with a prize buck, and 

 states that he enjoyed the change im- 

 mensely and as he left on the last even- 

 ing of the flower show, it was like the 

 calm after the storm. 



The Holton- & Hunkel Co. had a ban- 

 ner business in Beauties and violets for 

 the Thanksgiving trade. 



The regular monthly club meeting 

 takes place December 2, and as officers 

 for the ensuing year are to be elected, it 

 no doubt will be largely attended. The 

 executive committee of the recent flower 

 .show will also make its final report.

Beatrice, Neb. — The Dole Floral Co. 

 has moved into its new building on Ella 

 street. The opening of the new place 

 was celebrated with a mum show, which 

 attracted large crowds.
