The Florists' Review 



OCTOBEB 29, 1914. 



MILWAUKEE. 



The Market. 



Business in general is little better 

 than it was last week. The weather 

 . has been warm, with an abundance of 

 sunshine. Toward the end of the week 

 it was a little cooler and this encour- 

 aged the trade to buy more heavily. 

 The first frost of the season is yet to 

 come and outdoor stock is still keeping 

 good greenhouse-grown flowers below 

 normal for this time of year. The 

 formal opening of the large new North- 

 western Life Insurance building, which 

 took place last week, created a market 

 for a large quantity of chrysanthemums 

 and Beauties. Such occurrences as this 

 help the trade to withstand the general 

 business depression. 



Roses are in excellent supply and the 

 quality is exceptionally good. The de- 

 mand is steady and the entire cut is 

 selling well. Some fine Russells are 

 being disposed of at attractive prices. 

 Carnations are of excellent quality and 

 are in good supply, but they are not 

 bringing the prices they should at this 

 season of the year. Mums are plentiful, 

 owing to the warm days of last week, 

 and the quality and growth have im- 

 proved wonderfully since bright weather 

 set in. Violets are steadily improving 

 and they are coming in more heavily 

 every day. Lilies are not so plentiful 

 as heretofore. This is largely due to 

 the mum season, as growers are not 

 forcing this stock as much as usual 

 whiJe the mums are with us. Valley 

 is about equal to the demand. Some of 

 the cut ^8 good and there is plenty to 

 go around. Dahlias are still seen in 

 the market and they are beautiful, but 

 every legitimate florist is praying that 

 the frost will get in its good work on 

 them soon.
