The Weekly Florists' Review 



July t, 



1910. 



MILWAUKEE. 



The Market. 



From Tuesday, June 2S. till Saturday 

 at midnight, we ex|)erieiu-ed the hottest 

 weather ever recorded at the local 

 weather bureau, and with it came the 

 falling off of business and the shorten- 

 ing up of receipts. Stock, which up 

 to a short time ago held up fairly well, 

 soon degraded to such an extent that it 

 does not now j)ay for the trouble of 

 picking, packing, etc. During the last 

 few days in June there were numerous 

 weddings, but from now on funeral 

 work will be tlie long suit. 



Where there is no moans of watering, 

 outdoor vegetation is suffering badly 

 for lack of rain; from every direction 

 comes the complaint that outdoor stock 

 will come to naught if the dry spell 

 continues much longer. 



Various Notes. 



Fred W. Holton and family and their 

 guests, Fred Holton and a son in law 

 from Vermont, took to the nearby lakes 

 Wednesday, June 29, and have not been 

 heard from since. It is expected that 

 they will return about July 13. 



C. ('. Pollworth and family will return 

 about July 9 from their annual fishing 

 trip which they are spending at the 

 northern boundary of this state. 



Mr. and Mrs. Aug. F. Kellner spent 

 the first five days of this month at their 

 summer home at Okanchee lake enter- 

 taining friends from Chicago. 



At the Fox Point Floral Co., out on 

 the Port Washington road, they at^ 

 busy erecting two new greenhouses to 

 be utilized for pot plants and cut flow- 

 ers. In bedding stock, they ran short 

 on Jean Viaud geraniums, for which 

 there was a greater demand than ever 

 before. With the exception of a few 

 petunias and coleus, they are completely 

 sold out. 



Premium lists for this year's state 

 fair are out and contain the same pre- 

 miums, on flower beds as last year. Nic 

 Zweifel, of North Milwaukee, as a 

 representative of the Milwaukee Flor- 

 ists' Club, is one of the three judges 

 who will make awards September 12. 



Wm. Zimmermann, Fifth and Grand 

 avenues, attended the Eagles' conven- 

 tion at Slieboygan, Wis., last week. 



E. O. 



Lowell, Mass. — James J. McManmon 

 is referred to locally as one of the live- 

 liest business men on Prescott street. 

 He has steadily built up his business 

 until now his greenhouses and nursery 

 plant, at Brookside, cover fifty acres.
