The Market. 



Market conditions have not changed 

 much here since last report. The supply 

 in general is not heavy, and there is 

 sufficient demand, especially in funeral 

 work, to keep the market pretty well 

 cleaned up most of the time. The early 

 outdoor cut flower crops are being handi- 

 capped by lack of rain; in fact, thus 

 far it has been a typically dry summer, 

 preceded by an unfavorable spring. 



Various Notes. 



We can again announce the opening 

 of a new flower stand; namely, the 

 Flora Bon, located on Third street, just 

 north of Grand avenue. It is a flower 

 and candy store combined, owned by 

 Pasterino & Schiappacaesse, commission 

 merchants, and managed by Dan Van 

 Engel, who, judging from his first win- 

 dow display — a small pond with six lit- 

 tle, yellow, live ducks, surrounded by 

 moss and appropriate cut flowers — seems 

 to know how to attract the attention of 

 the passer-by. 



The Milwaukee Gardeners' Associa- 

 tion could not have wished for better 

 weather July 31, when it held its fifth 

 annual picnic and ball at Jones Grove, 

 just north of the city limits, on the 

 Green Bay road. 



The announcement has been received 

 of the engagement of Gust. Mueller to 

 Miss Ruby Eisner. Mr. Mueller is the 

 manager and grower for the Mueller & 

 Schroeder Co., carnation specialists, a 

 position which he has filled most satis- 

 factorily. 



With the return of Ed. Weber and 

 the leaving of Tom Cassidy, the store 

 force of the C. C. PoUworth Co. will soon 

 be ready to settle down for the coming 

 season's work. 



Both the Holton & Huukel Co. and 

 the C. C. Pollworth Co. report having 

 been lold out completely Sunday morn- 

 ing, July 31. At the Holton & Hunkel 

 plant at Brown Deer the new concrete 

 benches have been about completed in 

 all the houses. 



Among many other designs sent by 

 James M. Fox & Son, July 24, to 

 Menominee, Mich., was a casket cover, 

 full length, made up of orchids and lily 

 of the valley, and pronounced one of 

 the finest ever turned out. 



The national encampment of the 

 Knights of Pythias was held in our city 

 from August 1 to 10, and this induced 

 some out-of-town florists to pay us a 

 visit. 



Chas. Merger 's young son is nursing 

 a broken arm, the result oi an accident 

 while summer-resorting with his parents.

At the Convention 



We will have a complete display of 



Illinois Self-watering 



hanging baskets, window boxes, plant 

 tubs, etc. These will be of interest to 

 you because the plants sold in these 

 devices require almost no attention and 

 are a credit to the man selling the plants. 

 This means " Repeat Sales " for you and 

 "Repeat Sales" spells Bigger Profits. 

 Look over our display; investigate our 

 claims and satisfy yourself.
