MILWAUKEE. 



The Market. 



Business in general was not quite so 

 good last we«k. There has been too 

 much dark, rainy weather, and while 

 this condition has retarded the growth 

 of stock to some extent, it has also re- 

 tarded the sales. The first week in Sep- 

 tember should have shown up better 

 than it did. 



Tiie supply of new carnations is not 

 increasing as fast as it should and, in 

 consequence, asters are still selling well. 

 The new carnations are short-stemmed'* 

 and small and the asters are not as good 

 as they might be. There are some fine 

 greenhouse-grown asters in the market 

 and these are bringing top-notch prices. 

 Gladioli are still in the market, although 

 of inferior quality. They are moving 

 fairly well, despite the fact that the 

 stock is not improving. The first chrys- 

 anthemums are coming in and are in 

 fine shape. They are selling well, al- 



^ though the prices are not so good as 

 last year as yet. The stock seems better 



- this year, but this stock brought ex- 

 ceptionally good prices last year. There 



I- are lot».of lilies ip the marjiet at this 

 time and they are moving fairly well. 

 Valley, of course, is not plentiful, but 

 the cut is satisfying the needs of the 

 trade. Koses are somewhat scarcer, on 

 account of the cloudy weathft^, but the 

 quality is extra fine and the stock is 

 moving every day. 



Various Notes. 



The annual Wisconsin state fair is 

 held here September 14 to 18, and the 

 florists had planned a larger exhibition 

 than ever before. The size of the flo- 

 rists' display is increasing every year 

 and has already reached such propor- 

 tions that some attractive premiums are 

 offered for the different classes of stock 

 shown. 



The Holton & Hunkel Co. has just 



Purchased a new Kissel Kar auto truck, 

 t is quite large and has a special body 

 that will make it possible for this firm 

 to transport a large quantity of stock at 

 one load. The new car will be used 

 mainly at the large greenhouses and 

 will greatly facilitate the handling of 

 stock. 



John Kruchten, of Chicago, made this 

 city a short visit last week on business. 



H. J. S. 



Austin, Tex. — At the last meeting of 

 the Austin Florists' Club, which was 

 held at the home of Olaf Olson Wednes- 

 day evening, September 9, with the 

 largest attendance in the club's history, 

 plans were made for a fall flower show. 

 Competition is to be open to amateurs 

 only and the proceeds are to go to a 

 local charity.

The sash that doubles efficiency in the

Extrjj-thick, of cypress, cerlasting, 

 double-glazed with an air-space that ad- 

 mits the sun, but not the cold, this sash 

 has become the standard in every up-ton 

 date garden and has rendered the old-style 

 single layer putty sash obsolete. 

 STILL WONDERING 



Says H. B. Fullerton, who has de- 

 veloped gardening in Long Island by 

 leaps and bounds: "The pnly thing on 

 earth to use is the double-glass sash.** 

 So say all who have used the sash dilli- 

 gentiy, not only on Long Island, but in 

 every state in the Union.
