OCTOBBB 1, 1914. 



MILWAUEEE, WIS. 



The Market. 



Business in general has been more 

 than quiet during the week just past. 

 There have been exceptionally few sales 

 for this time of year and it is hoped 

 that business will pick up soon. 



Up to this time there has been no 

 frost, and therefore the outdoor stock 

 is still with us. This fact, of course, 

 decreases the sales of greenhouse-grown 

 stock. In the event of a heavy frost the 

 outdoor stock, which is getting poorer 

 every day, would be killed off and the 

 inside stock would benefit. 



New carnations are more plentiful 

 and the supply is now large enough to 

 take care of good-sized orders at all 

 times. The quality is steadily improv- 

 ing and it will not be long until this 

 stock takes its usual place on the mar- 

 ket. 



Boses are plentiful just now, and Kil- 

 larney is moving slowly. Despite the 

 large supply, the fancy grades are clean- 

 ing up well. The stock is in fine shape 

 and should bring much higher prices 

 than are being realized. 



Both asters and gladioli are a drug 

 on the market, and it will help mate- 

 rially when these flowers are out of the 

 way. The first violets of the season are 

 on the market and the stock looks good, 

 considering that this is the first cut. 

 Some exceptionally nice double violets 

 are to be had. 



Various Notes. 



Edlefsen & Leidiger have a new Ford 

 car, which they will use for delivery 

 purposes. 



Adam Zender, of Kogers Park, 111., 

 was in Milwaukee again last week, com- 

 bining business with pleasure. 



A. H. McDonald, who for a time has 

 been away from the city, has returned 

 and will have charge of the flower de- 

 partment which will be opened by Gim- 

 bel Bros. soon. Mr. McDonald plans 

 to make his space as attractive as pos- 

 sible and the location is one of the 

 best.' H. J. S.

We are overstocked with Palms. 

 Owing to the war, growers in 

 France and Belgium, who usually 

 purchase the bulk of our stock, are 

 unable to do so this season. We 

 have been large exporters for many" 

 years to all countries in the old 

 and new worlds that use Palms. 

 Probably you may have bought our 

 Palms already from other dealers. 



We offer you direct supply now.
