Milwaukee Can Supply Much the 



Finest Warm Weather Flowers 



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

 Milwaukee flowers compare with those produced in less favored sections.

HOLTON & HUNKEL CO. 



Without Doubt the Best Equipped Wholesale House in the Country. 



4.62 Miiwauicee Street, MILWAUKEE, WIS. 



Mention Thp RpvIpw when von writp 



white sport so largely planted this year 

 now coming into crop. The houses with 

 reputation for having the best grade 

 of goods naturally are getting the ad- 

 vantage of the present excellent de- 

 mand, but any rose of fair quality now 

 possesses marketability. The Beauty 

 crops are light along with the others. 

 It may be taken that supplies this 

 week are at their lowest ebb and that 

 the increase will be steady, though 

 gradual. 



Carnations have largely dropped out; 

 it were better so, for much of the stock 

 was of extremely poor quality. Some 

 of the growers who still are cutting 

 carnations of fair quality continue to 

 ship and are realizing good prices, con- 

 sidering the season, for the supply of 

 asters is not much of anything yet. 

 There appears to have been much suf- 

 fering among the aster plants as a re- 

 sult of the long spell of hot, dry 

 weather. Most- of the houses are re- 

 ceiving a few, but they are not yet of 

 good quality, as a rule. The exceptions 

 are the growers who have watered their 

 plants. 



Easter lilies are in a large supply, 

 and there are increasing quantities of 

 auratum. A larger quantity of can- 

 didums than ever before, of the Michi- 

 gan crop, was placed in cold storage. 

 These are still coming out, but are not 

 in good condition and are realizing 

 extremely small prices. There still are 

 a few peonies in cold storage, but it 

 will take only a day or two of such 

 good demand as has prevailed since 

 July 16 to clean up all that are usable. 

 Gladioli are much more abundant, ar- 

 riving from farther north. America 

 and Augusta sell well, but little else is 

 wanted. Valley is abundant. Cattleyas 

 are not in large supply, but are less in 

 demand. Sweet peas are finished. 

 Water lilies are abundant but slow sale. 

 The Shasta daisy crop is at an end or 

 nearly so; most of the flowers now seen 

 are poor. 



The green goods market is quiet, 



Friedman ' s Plans. 



Some months ago it was announced 

 in The Review that O. J. Friedman 

 would have a flower store in the Cop- 

 gress hotel, formerly known as the 



Auditorium Annex, with the opening of 

 the fall season. Fresh attention has 

 been attracted to Mr. Friedman '.s plans 

 this week by the announcement that he 

 has sublet to a firm of ladies' tailor? 

 about two-thirds of the space leased 

 by him in the hotel. 



Mr. Friedman's lease, obtained short- 

 ly after the closing of the Hauswirth 

 store, covered the three stores at 226, 

 227 and 228 Michigan avenue, and runs 

 for a term of years. Mr. Friedman 

 will continue his present store in the 

 Stratford hotel under his own name, 

 and will conduct the new Congress 

 hotel store under the name of the Con- 

 gress Floral Co., to which he person- 

 ally has sublet the north store. It was 

 the two south stores which last week 

 were leased to another party. The 

 space is now occupied by the hotel as 

 a tea room. The Congress Floral Co. 

 will get possession September 1. The 

 store will be fitted up in first-class 

 style and placed in charge of the best 

 man Mr. Friedman can find. He in- 

 tends to add one more to the list of 

 Chicago's high-class stores. 



Various Notes. 



Ernst Rober has leased the establish- 

 ment conducted by the late H. F. Port, 

 at Maywood, 111., and will grow young 

 stock for the wholesale trade, making 

 a specialty of poinsettias, Lorraine 

 begonias, cyclamens and similar plants. 

 Mr. Rober was formerly with the 

 Aurora Greenhouse Co., and later with 

 Muir, leaving the latter position July 

 5 to take hold at Maywood, He is an 

 experienced propagator and plant 

 grower, and feels that there is an excel- 

 lent opportunity in the line he proposes 

 to follow. 



The obituary column contains the 

 notice of the death of Mrs. Annie Russ- 

 ler, an old-time member of the trade. 



Miss Marguerite Palinsky, daughter 

 of Mr. and Mrs. W. L. Palinsky, and 

 Allen G. Mead were married July 16. 

 This was the first wedding in the fam- 

 ily, and Mr. Palinsky saw to it that 

 the event was celebrated with proper 

 elaboration. Several members of t.ie 

 trade were among the large number of 

 guests, 



C, A. Samuelson is an exceedingly 



APHINE'S 



Increasing Popularity 



As a general insecticide for destroy- 

 ing greenhouse and outdoor pests 



Is due to the hearty endorse- 

 ments of the many expert 

 floriculturists who have fully 

 tested Aphine and have not 

 found itSvanting. 



Its success is tlie talk of tlie 

 trade. 



It does all that is claimed 

 for it, and more. 



Ask your supply house for 

 Aphine, or write us for name 

 of our nearest selling agency. 



APHINE MANUFACTURING GO. 



Madison, New Jersey 



Mention The Review when you write- 



busy man just now, not so much be- 

 cause of a rush of business as because 

 of the vacation season. Buyer Ed 

 Enders, and Tom Fogerty, the latter 

 buyer for Friedman, are vacationing 

 at a resort in Michigan, and David 

 Geddis, Mr. Samuelson 's chief maker- 

 up, also is away. 



Frank Johnson, of the A. L. Randall 

 Co., has returned from a week's visit 

 to the Twin Cities. 



The paving of Monroe street inter- 

 I'upts the traffic at the stores of Harry 

 Rowe, John Mangel and the Bohannon 

 Floral Co., but the interruption, since 

 it must occur, hardly could come at a 

 better season. 



C. M. Dickinson says that the sup- 

 ply business at E, H, Hunt's never was 

 so good in the summer as it is this year.
