The Weekly Florists' Review. 



Jl.vk 16, lOlu 



lo speak of, for business in all branches 

 was fine. The month of June brings 

 with it weddings, graduation exercises 

 .md other social affairs, and this class 

 of work, with an unusually heavy run 

 in funeral work, has given everyone a 

 I'hance to make good. The stock is 

 still of fine quality, due, no doubt, to 

 the fact that up to now the nights have 

 always been cool. 



Local peonies of good quality are 

 now arriving in quantity and sell read- 

 ily. In lilies the Harrisii have been 

 more plentiful than the callas; the lat- 

 ter have always been cleaned up, while 

 some of the former were unsold. With 

 tlie exception of a few stray tulips, that 

 line is done for this season. The de- 

 mand for valley has been exceptionally 

 iieavy during the last fortnight. Green 

 goods are about equal to the demand. 



Various Notes. 



The M. A. McKenney Co. says that 

 up to now busines has been firm and 

 steady, away ahead of other seasons, 

 with no prospect of a let-up in the 

 near future. 



J. M. Fox & Son, who always get 

 their share of the better class of trade, 

 have been quite busy of late with work 

 for weddings and other social func- 

 tions. 



Roy Cnrrie, who conducts the store 

 of Currie Bros. Co. on Wisconsin street, 

 remarked that he "never saw the like; 

 for the last two months it has been one 

 continual rush from morning till night, 

 trying to please everybody." 



William Zimmermann, at Fifth street 

 and Grand avenue, reports that busi- 

 ness has been fine for some time. 

 Funeral work and graduating exercises 

 have caused him to work overtime. 



The East Side Floral Co. has been 

 extremely busy of late with outdoor 

 bedding and window boxes. The firm 

 was well prepared for the spring trade 

 and the work is well cleaned up by this 

 time. 



The Mueller & Schroeder Co. is sup- 

 plying this market with Victory carna- 

 tions which are really of better quality 

 than in midwinter. All around, their 

 stock is holding out finely. 



To judge by the way Nic Zweifel, of 

 North Milwaukee, has been and is 

 growing White Perfection and Winsor 

 (tarnations this season, one could not 

 wish for better varieties in those 

 respective colors. 



Albert Groth, also of North Milwau- 

 kee, is bringing in some exceptionally 

 fine sweet peas these days. His carna- 

 tions, which are clean in every respect, 

 find ready sale. 



The C. C. Pollworth Co., though 

 completely sold out of bedding stock 

 some time ago, says that there is still 

 plenty of call for that line of stock. 

 Shipping trade with this firm continues 

 satisfactory. 



The Holton & Hunkel Co. is receiv- 

 ing daily shipments of fine Killarney 

 roses from Adam Zender's plant at 

 Rogers Park, 111. Shipping trade here 

 has been fine right along. 



The three new greenhouses of Manke 

 Bros., at their North Milwaukee place, 

 which will be devoted to carnations 

 exclusively, are nearing completion. 

 This will give them a chance for early 

 housing. 



William Toole, secretary of the Wis- 

 consin State Horticultural Society, 

 spent a few days in our midst, working 

 on the preliminaries for this year's 

 state fair, which takes place just west 

 of our city.
