MILWAUKEE. 



The Market. 



Considering tliat the weather all last 

 week was rather unseasonable, business 

 continues quite good. From every end 

 we hear the report that there is some- 

 thing doing all the time, with an oc- 

 casional rush. From a wholesaler's 

 standpoint everything up to now was 

 satisfactory. There was plenty of 

 every kind of stock at all times, and 

 the demand has been good. The retail- 

 ers will experience a rather strenuous 

 time, for the rather chilly weather has 

 kept people from planting out their 

 bedding stock up to this time, so it 

 will mean to crowd a few weeks' work 

 into the time allotted between now and 

 Memorial day; it seems to be customary 

 in this vicinity that on Memorial day 

 everything should be in place. The 

 wholesalers, too, find that the call for 

 bedding plants is increasing more from 

 day to day. 



it is a rather difficult task to make 

 a report at this time as to what the 

 prospects are regarding receipts for the 

 Memorial day trade. A good deal de- 

 pends upon the weather, is the univer- 

 sal answer. Undoubtedly the long suit 

 will be roses, peonies, lilies and carna- 

 tions. The latter, Avhich up to a short 

 time ago wore not equal to the de- 

 mand, have been coming in heavier of 

 late, and we are inclined to think that 

 the supply will be satisfactory and, 

 above alT things, the quality will be 

 the best ever seen i'n this market so 

 close to the end of thp season. In fact, 

 the quality of all cut flowers at this , 

 time is of really good grade, which in 

 turn will, considering the advance in 

 prices, tend to help keep the buyers 

 more good-natured. There will not, ow- 

 ing to the severe frost of April 23 and 

 24, be a {jreat deal of outdoor stock to 

 iepend upon or to run competition 

 against indoor grown cut flowers; con- 

 sequently, the latter will have every- 

 thing their own way. 



Sweet peas, lily of the valley, snap- 

 dragons, daisies and a few gladioli will 

 help out nicely. Orders are coming in 

 thick and fast, with every mail, and 

 everybody predicts that this year's 

 MemQriai day will put all previous 

 years in the shade. 



Various Notes. 



At the regular monthly club meeting 

 next week, Thursday, June 2, the timely 

 topic of "How to Regulate the Prices 

 of Spring Stock," will come up for 

 discussion. Arthur Leidiger consented 

 at the last meeting to open the discus- 

 sion. 



James Matthewson, of Sheboygan, 

 Wis., called on the trade last week to 

 select a supply of palms, ferns and 

 other pot plants. 



Martin Eeukauf called on the trade 

 for H. Bayersdorfer & Co.. of Philadel- 

 phia. Other visitors were: P. A. Free- 

 man, of Aurora, 111.; Mrs. Lotz, of 

 Watertown, Wis.; Otto Speidel, of
