MILWAUKEE. 



The Market. 



With plenty of work in the various 

 lines, market conditions have been quite 

 satisfactory. While stock was cleaned 

 up every day, the supply the next day 

 would be great enough to meet all de- 

 mands. Valley and sweet peas, owing 

 to the numerous June weddings, found 

 ready sale. Roses, too, came into promi- 

 nence, and the supply of these, in extra 

 good quality, was just about equal to 

 the demand. Good carnations are be- 

 coming scarcer from day to day, due, no 

 doubt, to the recent hot spell, which 

 took the "tuck" out of most of the in- 

 door stock. Lilies, which have been 

 hanging fire for some time, are again 

 holding their own. The new crop of 

 common ferns is of good quality; in 

 fact, taking it all in all, the green goods 

 market is well supplied. 



All outdoor crops are looking fine, 

 owing to the bounteous rains within the 

 last fortnight. 



This week ought to be a good one, 

 as most of the commencement exercises 

 take place now. Even though there are 

 rules prohibiting the custom of sending 

 flowers for these occasions, the florists 

 have found that these rules have had 

 little or no effect. 



Various Notes. 



The J. Sherer Co., which conducted 

 a flower store on Wisconsin street for 

 about a year, has again transferred the 

 property to James Chacona, who was 

 proprietor previous to his trip to his na- 

 tive land. 



John Arnold, whose greenhouses are 

 located at Port Washington and Green 

 Bay roads, will, as soon as the rush is 

 over, erect an apartment building on 

 his premises. This will necessitate the 

 removal of one of his greenhouses. 



The thirty-third convention of the 

 National Singers' Society will be held 

 in this city June 23 to 26, and quite a 

 few who are connected with the florists' 

 business will be met here then. A great 

 deal of cedar wreathing will be used 

 for this occasion. 



The Holton & Hunkel Co. reports an 

 extra good week in shipping trade. 



At the establishment of the C. C. 

 PoUworth Co. there seems to be no let- 

 up; business is rushing all the time. 



"It was one continual rush all last 

 week, filling orders for all occasions," 

 is the report of the Currie Bros. Co., 

 and, with the graduation exercises this 

 week, they expect to keep on hustling.

The best Labor Saving 



device on the place 



Charles Moebius, West Toledo, Ohio, writes us : 



"We find the Skinner System the best labor savingf device we 

 have on the place, and in fact we could not do without it. It will 

 water the ground evenly and will not cake the soil. We think the 

 man away out of date that uses a hose, as he will not be able to grow 

 such fine stuff without your watering device." 

 This is but one of hun- 



dreds of similar letters we 

 have gotten from florists all 

 over the country.
