The Florists^ Review 



Sbftbmbbb 12, 1912. 



MILWAUKEE. 



The Market. 



While the demand for stock, espe- 

 cially the last week, was what one 

 would call good for this time of the 

 year, the supply was so far in excess 

 of the demand that the returns for the 

 growers are not entirely satisfactory. 

 Being blessed with plenty of rain and 

 cool weather the best part of the sum- 

 mer, the market the last fortnight was 

 simply swamped with gladioli and as- 

 ters. Easter and rubrum lilies have 

 suffered under the weather conditions. 

 The only good proposition, of late, has 

 been the newer varieties of roses, such 

 as Taft, Ward, Melody and Jardine. 

 Taking it all in all, prices have not 

 been so low in many years. 



Various Notes. 



At the funeral of the late Gen. Ar- 

 thur MacArthur there were several 

 large floral offerings, both from local 

 and out-of-town dealers. 



J. M. Fox & Son had the decorations 

 for the Van Dyke wedding, which took 

 place September 7. A large quantity 

 of cut flowers was used. 



The decorating business has started in 

 earnest with the A. F. Kellner Co. The 

 company was busy last week and has 

 all its decorative plants promised for 

 the fall openings of local department 

 stores. 



Last week the Wisconsin State Fair 

 was in progress, which brought the 

 usual number of out-of-town visitors. 



Eug. Oestreicher, of the Heitman- 

 Oestreicher Co., successors to Heitman 

 & Baerman, is now nicely domiciled in 

 his new home in the place of business 

 located at North avenue and Fifty-fifth 

 street. 



Miss Anna Zender, of Sogers Park, 

 HI., will be the guest of Mr. and Mrs. 

 Fred Helton for this week. 



The greenhouses of the C. C. Poll- 

 worth Co. are in apple-pie shape. Pros- 

 pects are good for the coming season. 



A. Reiuhardt, late foreman at the 

 Nic. Zweifel carnation plant. North 

 Milwaukee, has purchased the A. Groth 

 place, in the near vicinity of the Zwei- 

 fel plant. He will grow mainly carna- 

 tions for the wholesale market. 



Boses and mums are looking fine at 

 the greenhouses of Holton & Hunkel 

 Co., at Brown Deer. 



Gust Rusch, of the Gust Rusch Co., 

 wholesalers, says that business is keep- 

 ing up well, considering prevailing con- 

 ditions. 



An increase of business got the force 

 of the McKenney Co. moving around 

 quite lively last week. E. O.
