The Market. 



, Business seems to have picked up to 

 some extent during the last week. Stock 

 has not shown any decrease in volume. 

 In fact, almost everything was in large 

 supply, but the orders were heavier 

 than heretofore and stock moved much 

 more freely than it has for some time. 

 Carnations are increasing in quantity 

 every day, but are being sold fast 

 enough to keep the market clean. The 

 quality is no better than it has been, 

 and nice, hardy stock will not arrive 

 until the weather becomes much cooler. 

 Roses are here in quantity and quality, 

 and buyers in the Milwaukee market 

 are getting some extra fine stock. Sun- 

 burst, Mrs. Chas. Russell and Killarney 

 are the best sellers, although the other 

 varieties are meeting with a good de- 

 mand. Beauties are moving well and 

 are sold almost as soon as received. 



The outdoor stock is still burdening 

 the trade with the large supply and is 

 holding down the sales of really first- 

 class greenhouse stock. Chrysanthe- 

 mums are right in crop and are com- 

 ing in heavily every day. They are in 

 fine condition and the sales are better 

 than could be expected, considering the 

 •quantity of other stock in the market. 

 Lilies are good and are moving readily. 



Various Notes. 



Nic Zweifel, who left Milwaukee in 

 June for Europe, returned to his home 

 October 9. He was in close proximity 

 to the fireworks of the warring nations 

 and he has many interesting stories to 

 tell of his experiences. It is up to the 

 Milwaukee Florists' Chib to get him to 

 tell some of his entertaining stories at 

 the next meeting. 



Paul Boomer, of Beaver Dam, Wis., 

 visited Milwaukee October 10. 



Miss Irma Jens, with the Holton & 

 Hunkel Co., is much elated over the 

 approaching wedding of her sister. The 

 firm, while wishing Miss Irma all hap- 

 piness, is glad that it is not she who is 

 going to enter the bonds of matrimony, 

 as her smiling face has won many 

 friends at the store, who would hate to 

 lose her. H. J. S. 



New Orleans, La. — In his report as 

 state vice-president of the S. A. F., 

 Harry Papworth, of the Metairie Ridge 

 Nursery Co., said: "The seasons are 

 short here, but when crops and busi- 

 ness are good t"here is no city in Amer- 

 ica that spends more money for flowers 

 than New Orleans, for its size. There 

 is also an increasing demand for finer 

 and better flowers. They cannot come 

 too fine, as our people are willing to 

 pay for them." 



Let UB quote you on Lilium Gi- 

 ganteum, Rubrum, Album and Au- 

 ratum. Let the results convince 

 you of the quality; the price will 

 be right, too.

 paragus, Cyclamen, etc., see Classi-
