The Florists^ Review 



August 22, 1912. 



MILWAUKEE, WIS. 



The Market. 



Both business and market conditions 

 last week were much the same as the 

 weeks previous, the main run being fu- 

 neral work. This summer the weather 

 has been greatly different from what 

 we have been used to; generally the 

 month of July and first part of August 

 are hot and dry, but this year it has 

 been just the reverse; plenty of rain 

 and not any too warm. Asters and 

 sweet peas are not of the standard 

 quality, but gladioli seem to be faring 

 well. Carnations, which are things of 

 the past, are not missed much, as there 

 is plenty of other stock to take their 

 place. The supply of roses is quite 

 plentiful, while the opening of this 

 week found plenty of lilies to start off 

 with. 



Various Notes. 



A party of three of San Francisco's 

 most enterprising florists, who were on 

 their way to the Chicago convention, 

 stopped off at our "burg" last Friday 

 to take a look around. They want the 

 S. A. F. convention in 1915, the year 

 that the Panama exposition will take 

 place. Those in the party were: Mr. 

 MacRorie, of the MacRorie-McLaren 

 Co., H. Plath and A. J. Rossi. 



Albert and Philip Fietch, formerly 

 employed at the Edlefsen-Leidiger 

 store, have opened a stand of their 

 own at 575 National avenue, under the 

 name of Fietch Bros. 



Gutermuth & Klein, successors to 

 William Edlefsen at North Milwaukee, 

 are gradually getting their place into 

 shape; having disposed of a good many 

 of the odds and ends, their long suit 

 will be carnations and mums, the lat- 

 ter to be followed by bedding stock. 



A. Groth, of North Milwaukee, con- 

 templates planting only two houses with 

 carnations this coming season. He also 

 plans to replace several of his old 

 greenhouses with new ones early next 

 spring. 



Boy Currie, who has been spending 

 the last two weeks at Army Lake, was 

 back in the harness August 19, ready 

 for business. 



The C. C. Pollworth Co. was kept 

 busy last week packing and crating 

 their exhibit for the S. A. F. conven- 

 tion. This company has just received a 

 carload of French bulbs. 



Harry Mann, of the Gust. Eusch Co., 

 has returned from a week's vacation 

 spent at Fox Lake and vicinity. 



Mr. and Mrs. Gust. Mueller, of the 

 Mueller Greenhouse Co., Brown Deer, 

 Wis., after attending the Chicago con- 

 vention will go to see the Wisconsin 

 Dells. 



The Helton & Hunkel Co. reports 

 shipping trade as good as can be ex- 

 pected for this time of the year; so 

 far it has been ahead of last year. 



It is rumored that the Edlefsen- 

 Leidiger Co. will have an auto delivery 

 car in the near future. 



Currie Bros. Co. was kept quite busy 

 August 14 with an elaborate wedding 

 decoration for an event at Schleisinger- 

 ville, Wis. 



The list of visitors last week in- 

 cluded: James Matthewson, Sheboygan, 

 Wis.; August Meyer, Kenosha, Wis.; 

 Charles Petersen, Escanaba, Mich.; J. 

 Brillhardt, Ludington, Mich.; Phil Fo- 

 ley, Chicago; Harry Balsley, Detroit, 

 and Mr. Elliott, Pittsburgh. E. O. 



Side Members of Iron 



Up AT Rowayton, Connecticut, we lately built two big Iron 

 Frame Houses, 56 feet wide. The iron work on the sides 

 was constructed as shown above. 



The plate is our Patented Z-Bar design, which is decidedly the 

 best plate of all, if you want a drip gutter attached. 



The full description of all the structural members in these houses 

 at Rowayton, along with a section and exterior and interior views, 

 are shown in our New Catalogue. Send for it.
