The Weekly Florists' Review^ 



FEBRtJART 10, 1910. 



MILVAUKEE. 



The Market 



With quite a few pre-lental parties, 

 balls and other such functions, and a 

 steady stream of funeral work, all the 

 incoming stock last week was quickly 

 disposed of. Boses were hardly up to 

 the demand at various times. The supply 

 of Beauties was limited, and they moved 

 well. All kinds of bulbous stock is be- 

 coming more plentiful; so, also, are car- 

 nations, but there was nothing left at 

 any time. 



Qub Meeting. 



The club meeting, February 3, was a 

 most interesting one. N. Zweifel and H. 

 V. Hunkel gave short, interesting reports 

 on the trip to the Pittsburg carnation 

 convention. They also spoke of various 

 eastern establishments, among them the 

 Cottage Gardens, Julius Koehrs Co., F. 

 E. Pierson Co., etc., visited after the 

 convention. 



It was voted to hold a flower show in 

 1910, and the chair appointed the follow- 

 ing to serve on the executive committee: 

 C. Dallwig, Aug. Kellner, C. C. Poll- 

 worth, J. G. Heitman, H. V. Hunkel, A. 

 Leidiger, Wm. C. Zimmermann and Nic 

 Zweifel. 



The following were elected to member- 

 ship : Fred. Mueller, Frank Burndt, Geo. 

 Dubberphul, Fred Kaiser, A. Sommer, 

 Frank Holtketter, Paul Benke, Henry 

 Koegler, Martin Christiansen, Peter Mon- 

 hos, Otto Eggebrecht and A. Griebler. 



Various Notes. 



The Aug. F. Kellner Co. had the deco- 

 rations at the West Side Turners' haU 

 for the annual masquerade ball of the 

 Turnverein, held February 5. They trans- 

 formed the large hall into a Japanese 

 garden, using large quantities of wild 

 smilax, and this, with numerous Japanese 

 lanterns and parasols, gave the whole a 

 very artistic appearance. 



Wm. C. Zimmermann, of Fifth street 

 and Grand avenue, reports a good busi- 

 ness in funeral work all last week. It 

 was especially rushing on Wednesday. 



Fred Holton, of the Holton & Hunkel 

 Co., has a great deal of sickness in his 

 home, both wife and family being ill. 



Walter Halliday, head of the working 

 force at the C. C. Pollworth Co. 's whole- 

 sale house, was absent the first half of 

 the week, owing to the death of his 

 mother, who had been ill for some time. 

 She was 54 years of age. 



Visitors who called during the week 

 were: Mr. Zuelke, of the Kiverside Flo- 

 ral Co., Appleton, Wis.; Mrs. Miller, of 

 the Eacine Floral Co., Eacine, and Mrs. 

 Hinchliflfe, Eacine. E. 0.
