The Weekly Florists' Review. 



July 14, 1910. 



Milwaukee Can Supply Much the 



Finest Warm Weather Flowers 



Being one of the coolest cities in the TTnited States, the warmer the weather, the better 

 Milwaukee flowers compare with those procluced in less favored sections. 



BEAUTIES, ROSES, CARNATIONS 



Sweet Peas, Valley, Swalnsona, Lilies, Daisies, Gladioli, Peonies and all 



other Cut Flowers In Season.

HOLTON & HUNKEL CO. 



Without Doubt the Best Equipped Wholesale House in the Country. 



462 Milwaukee Street, MILWAUKEE, WIS. 



MPTitlon Thp Kpview when von write 



in this section, and says his plants sel- 

 dom have looked better than they do 

 at this date. He expects to begin cut- 

 ting the latter part of next week. 



H. W. Eogers, of Weiland & Kisch, 

 has been spending his vacation at Pent- 

 water, Mich. 



B. Abrahamson and a partner are 

 preparing to launch the Florists' Auto- 

 mobile D'elivery Co. The plan is to 

 have two or more motor vehicles fitted 

 with detachable signs. The cars are 

 to be at the call of patrons and a sign 

 is to be carried for each subscriber. It 

 is figured that the cars will make a 

 saving for florists aud a profit for their 

 owners. 



Ned Washburn is again on duty at 

 the city store of Bassett & Washburn, 

 while Mrs. Horton is on a vacation. 



A. H. Budlong says that the J. A. 

 Budlong carnation houses will be all 

 planted up by July 16. The stock was 

 planted in the field exceptionally early. 

 It went through the April freeze with- 

 out apparent injury, has made good 

 size, and Mr. Budlong says the plants 

 are taking hold nicely, benching having 

 been begun July 7. 



Poehlmann Bros. Co. says business is 

 exceptionally good for this time of 

 year, principally orders for roses, but 

 a number of customers they have not 

 heard from for some time are now buy- 

 ing again. 



G. H. Pieser, president of the Kenni- 

 cott Bros. Co., had a narrow escape 

 from the loss of his eyes when a piece 

 of fireworks exploded prematurely at 

 Aurora, where he was spending the 

 Fourth. His face was badly burned, 

 and his spectacles probably are all that 

 saved his eyesight. 



F. F. Benthey, with Kyle & Foerster, 

 has returned from New Castle, where 

 his sister has been critically ill. 



Joe Dunn, for many years foreman 

 for J. A. Budlong, has returned from 

 Sturgis, Mich., where he recently went 

 into business ifor himself. He has suc- 

 ceeded Fred Benthey as foreman at the 

 Des Plaines plant of Hoerber Bros. 



Charles Klehm says that his supply 

 of peonies will hold out until about July 

 21. In spite of the fact that many 

 peonies have spoiled since cutting, and 

 that the demand is slack for other than

AND FLORISTS' SUPPLIES 



Orchids a Specialty 



Mention The R^'-iew when voii write 



the best, Mr. Klehm says he has since 

 July 1 been taking in more money each 

 day than in the corresponding days of 

 last year. The quantity of peonies 

 stored this season, counting all lots, 

 was slightly more than one-third the 

 quantity stored a year ago. 



It is reported that George Eeinberg 

 has bought an automobile. 



C. W. McKellar and wife, with a 

 party of friends, started July 9 on a 

 six weeks' automobile tour of the east. 

 They expect to be at Rochester for the 

 S. A. F. convention. 



Peter Reinberg, Mrs. Eeinberg, Henry 

 Kranz and Mrs. Kranz started July 9 

 for a fortnight's trip through Yellow- 

 stone park. 



Gus AUes, right-hand storeman for 

 Wietor Bros., is on his annual vacation. 



Henry Van Gelder reports as a visi- 

 tor this week John H. Chisholm, mana- 

 ger for the J. C. Rennison Co., which 

 has 100,000 feet of glass at Sioux City, 

 la., but is a large buyer in this market! 



Richard Weber, grower for Peter 

 Reinberg, who shot one of his fellow 

 employees on the Fourth, has been ex- 

 onerated from blame by the coroner's 

 jury. 



W. E. Lynch says the summer cut 

 flower business of E. H. Hunt the last 

 two years was so much ahead of pre- 

 ceding seasons that he will make no 



complaint if July and August this year 

 only come up to the recent records. He 

 looks for much better sales as soon as 

 good asters are available. 



Henry Payne, formerly in business 

 at Hinsdale, now is with the neighbor- 

 ing firm of Edwards & Fleming. 



A. L. Randall Co. reports that every 

 important carnation grower on its list 

 of consignors was shipping heavily last 

 week. W. W. Randall says the expla- 

 nation of the large shipments continu- 

 ing beyond the usual date is that the 

 growers find it too dry to begin re- 

 planting operations; they are waiting 

 for a good rain. 



Recent visitors: Edward Amerpohl, 

 Janesville, Wis.; M. M. Miesse and 

 wife, Lancaster, O.; H. S. Morton, Los 

 Angeles, Cal., who formerly was in busi 

 ness on Indiana avenue. 



Chester, Pa.— J. F. Scallan says trade 

 has been better this spring and summer 

 than at any time since he started busi- 

 ness. 



Sewell, N. J.— John L. North was re- 

 cently badly burned about the face by 

 a preparation that was being used to 

 cure a toothache. Part of the article 

 was accidentally spilled, and as a result 

 Mr. North's face will probably be 

 scarred for life.
