HOLTON & HUNKEL CO. 



462 Milwaukee Street, MILWAUKEE, WIS. 



The beat-equipped Wholesale House in the West 



Mention The Review when you write 



sold 1,500 more cattleyas. He lost some 

 shipments of gardenias, delayed either 

 by the storm or the big accumulation of 

 freight in the express offices. There is 

 much complaint of stock frozen, espe- 

 cially that bought by the retailers from 

 out-of-town plantsmen. 



Leonard Kill says that for three days 

 in succession last week Peter Keinberg's 

 sales exceeded all previous records. Mr. 

 Kill plans to leave, January 4, to winter 

 in Califomia. 



T. C. Yarnall, of the J. B. Deamud Co., 

 who has been calling on growers, getting 

 a line on what will be in market in the 

 first part of the new year, says stock 

 everywhere looks good to him and that 

 the growers all say they are going to 

 have good cuts and good quality from 

 New Year's to Lent, 



The building in which the Flower Grow- 

 ers ' Market is located is already being 

 remodeled, work having been begun in 

 the basement. The changes on the mar- 

 ket floor will be started right after the 

 first of the year. 



C. L. Washburn says that city florists 

 have little conception of the storm of 

 last week; it was the biggest in ten years, 

 drifts four feet high at Hinsdale. Ned 

 Washburn is now putting in the most of 

 his time at the greenhouses. 



Kyle & Foerster report Christmas as 

 having exceeded their expectations be- 

 cause of the supply proving so generous. 



J. H. Burdett is reported as having 

 tendered his resignation as secretary of 

 the Horticultural Society of Chicago. 



Vaughan & Sperry say all the city 

 buyers would have had a Merry Christmas 

 had it not been for the storm — and that 's 

 something nobody could help. 



The florist bowlers will roll Saturday, 

 right in the city tournament. 



DAYTON, OHIO. 



The Market 



It would be impossible to give other 

 than a glowing report on last week's 

 business, the weather being ideal and 

 trade booming. Prices seemed to be no 

 object to the people, and it might be 

 added that prices were quite steep. While 

 there were some in both wholesale and 

 retail trade that backed down when prices

were quoted to them, still at the same 

 time there were others willing to pay the 

 price and glad to get the stock. While 

 crops were abundant for this season of 

 the year, still there was not nearly 

 enough to compete with the increasing de- 

 mand. Eed flowers, especially roses and 



carnations, were at a premium, and ad- 

 vance orders consumed the supply long 

 before Christmas, and at the last minute 

 the florist could get his own price for 

 Rhea Beids or American Beauties. One 

 of our Dayton florists asked as high as 

 $30 per dozen for choice Beauties. Extra
