The Florists' Review 



Algust 6, 1914. 



MILWAUKEE, WIS. 



The Market. 



The old saying that ••there is no loss 

 without some small gain'" holds good 

 in the florists' business now. Were it 

 not for deaths and the resultant fu- 

 neral work, the trade would have ab- 

 f»olutely nothing to do. Florists in gen- 

 eral are taking advantage of the lull 

 and a large percentage are away from 

 the city for rest and recreation. 



The old carnations are about gone 

 and there are few coming in. These are 

 :ilways in demand, but their quality is 

 nothing to boast of. Koses are still 

 plentiful and some fine, long-stemmed 

 i»ne8 are seen. Short-stemmed roses are 

 selling fairly well, owing to the short- 

 age of carnations. Rose Mrs. Charles 

 Kussell is in fine condition and is clean- 

 ing up every day. Asters are increas- 

 ing in quantity every day and the qual- 

 ity of the stock is good. There are not 

 us many on the market as were ex- 

 pected, however, and this helps the sale 

 of other stock to some extent. Lilies 

 md valley are in good shape and the 

 supply is large, but the sales are slow, 

 •jladioli are still with us, but are de- 

 teriorating in quality and are not clean- 

 ing up well, American Beauties are 

 i^ood, but are having only a limited 

 -•sale. 



Various Notes.
