The Weekly Florists" Review. 



May 25, 1911. 



are still of good quality, is away ahead 

 of the demand. Then there is all the 

 outdoor stock, such as lilac and valley, 

 which is in its prime at this time, which 

 undoubtedly replaces greenhouse-grown 

 flowers in many cases, and helps to 

 make matters worse, from a florist's 

 standpoint. Even the peonies which 

 come up from Illinois hang fire most 

 of the time. Every day one can see 

 quite a few good callas make their 

 exit to the dump. Eeally fine snap- 

 dragons are also moving slowly. 



Various Notes. 



From what we can learn at this 

 time, the joint meeting of the Chicago 

 and Milwaukee Florists' Clubs will be 

 held at the Blatz hotel. In view of 

 the fact that Mr. Keimel, of Wendland 

 & Keimel, will read a paper on rose 

 growing, the local boys should all be 

 on hand to learn a lesson. 



At the C. C. Pollworth plant in Wau- 

 WHitosa they finished planting carna- 

 tions into the field May 20. 



Outside of tending to the numerous 

 shipping orders in the bedding stock 

 line, the help at the Holton & Hunkel 

 place, at Humboldt avenue, is busy pot- 

 ting up a carload of palms, ficus, box- 

 wood and the like. 



Arthur Lemke, aged 23, who for some 

 time conducted a flower store at 581 

 Downer avenue, took his own life May 

 15, by taking carbolic acid. Business 

 difficulties, no doubt, were the direct 

 cause. Not being married, he made his 

 home with his parents. 



Martin Reukauf, representative for 

 Bayersdorfer & Co., Philadelphia, called 

 on the local trade last week. 



J. M. Fox & Son report having booked 

 a good-sized wedding decoration for 

 Appleton, Wis., for the latter part of 

 next week. E. O. 



Boone, la. — J. Loehrer, of the Boone 

 Greenhouses, reports that this vicinity 

 was visited on the afternoon of May 

 19 by the worst hail storm he ever 

 experienced. Of his 7,000 square feet 

 of glass, he is doubtful whether 2,000 

 feet are left unbroken. He carries no 

 insurance. Much damage was also done 

 to the plants in the houses.
