The Florists' Review 



OCTOBKU 22, 1W14, 



MILWAUKEE, WIS. 



The Market. 



There has been little change in gen- 

 eral trade conditions during the week 

 just past. The weather man decided 

 that he had given us more than our share 

 of sunshine and took his revenge by 

 turning on the water faucet and then 

 taking a week off. Not one day of sun- 

 shine did we see all the week and of 

 course this shortened up stock to some 

 extent. It did not create a scarcity, but 

 kept the market from being glutted with 

 an overabundant supply. 



Carnations are with us in quantity 

 and are selling well. The supply is much 

 greater than the demand, however, and 

 >;leaned up. 



Boses are also plentiful, but are mov- 

 ing exceptionally well. Mrs. Chas. Rus- 

 sell seems to be a prime favorite with 

 the trade and is finding a ready sale. 

 Of course, there is the usual demand for 

 Killarney and White Killarney, and 

 large quantities of Sunburst, Mrs. Taft, 

 Ophelia, Ward and Hadley are being 

 disposed of, although the prices realized 

 are below normal. 



Chrysanthemums are in fine shape and 

 are moving readily. Some exceedingly 

 fine stock is seen on the market and is 

 being disposed of at prices which are 

 aot quite so good as last year. Violets 

 are on the market in small quantities, 

 but the quality is not good enough as 

 yet to make this stock sell well. Valley 

 is being sold as fast as it appears, but 

 the sales of liles are not so good as they 

 should be. Owing to the fact that we 

 have had no frost so far, outdoor stock 

 still clutters up the market. 



Various Notes. 



Last week there were a number of 

 weddings, which helped the trade to a 

 great extent. Prominent among them 

 was that of Miss Gertrude Smith and 

 Alfred L. Slocum, 2908 Highland boule 

 vard. The bride carried a shower bou- 

 quet of sweet peas and valley, while the 

 maid of honor and bridesmaids carried 

 bouquets of Sunburst roses. In the dec- 

 orations were used yellow dahlias, chrys- 

 anthemums, sweet peas, roses and lark- 

 spurs. M. A.. McKenney & Co. had 

 ("harge of the decorations. 



Theodore Kienahs, of La Crosse, Wis., 

 was in Milwaukee Saturday, October 17. 

 H. E. Philpott, of Winnipeg, Canada, 

 also visited the local trade on that day. 



Currie Bros. Co. has leased the build- 

 ing formerly occupied by Zimmerman 

 Bros., clothiers, on East Water street, 

 md will move their seed store to this 

 location as soon as alterations now un- 

 der way are completed. The new loca- 

 tion is a good one and the move should 

 be profitable. H. J. S.
