The Market. 



Buainesa has been better during the 

 last we^ tkan it has been for some 

 time. There were a number of large 

 funerals whieh helped to swell the total 

 sales of the week for some of the trade. 

 Carnations are still out of the market. 

 The old erop is a thing of the past and 

 the new cut has not yet come in. True, 

 there are a few new carnations on the 

 market, bvt the stems are short and the 

 blossoms sBftall, and the quantity re- 

 ceived is 89 souill that it is negligible. 

 Asters are scarce and are generally in 

 poor condition. The long spell of dry 

 weather, with no rain to speak of, has 

 seriousljr affected the crop and will 

 make the season not nearly so profitable 

 as it should be. Koses have shortened 

 up considerably, but the supply, with 

 the possible exception of red rjoses, is 

 still equal to the demand and the qual- 

 ity of the stock in general is fine. The 

 Mrs. Charles Russell rose is somewhat 

 off crop. 



Sweet peas are nearly gone, but the 

 stock on the market is in good shape 

 and is cleaning up every day. Gladioli 

 are on their last legs, but the cut is still 

 moving fairly well. The supply of val- 

 ley is shortening up, but the stock is 

 in good shape and no trouble is expe- 

 rienced in cleaning up the entire cut. 



Various Notes. 



F. H. Holton, after attending the Bos- 

 ton coBvention, left immediately for 

 New York and other eastern cities. 



W. H. Oberg, with the W. L. Eock 

 Flower Co., of Kansas City, Mo., was in 

 Milwaukee for a short while last week. 

 Mr. Oberg passed through Chicago on 

 his way east and could not resist mak- 

 ing the short trip necessary to visit our 

 city. 



H. ▼. Hunkel is now the owner of a 

 brand-new Hudson Six. The new car 

 is a beaut7. 



Mrs. Ida Baumgarten, who, with Miss 

 Zemmler, has been on an extended trip 

 through the west, returned to this city 

 August 80. 



A. Hare, with the Helton & Hunkel 

 Co., who has been away on a vacation 

 for the last two weeks, has gone to Cin- 

 cinnati, O. Some of his relatives, who 

 reside in that city, are in the war zone 

 in Europe, and Mr. Hare wants to be 

 on the ground when word is received as 

 to their safety. 



Mrs. S. 0. Nichols, of Racine, Wis., 

 visited the trade here August 20. 



H. J. S. 



Qroton, Mass. — H. Huebner was heard 

 from just before the war in Europe 

 broke out. At that time he was in 

 Stuttgart, Germany.
