The Weekly Florists^ Review. 



August 25, 1910. 



-L 



MILWAUKEE. 



The Market. 



Considering that we are in the midst 

 cf the dull season, business is fair. It 

 is a noticeable fact that right along 

 there has been quite a bit of funeral 

 work. Every week there have been 

 funerals in prominent families. 



The supply of asters is increasing 

 from day to day, and some improve- 

 ment in quality is seen. Thus, with 

 the increased supply, the poorer grades 

 hung fire last week, while all good 

 stock was cleaned up. Lilies are not 

 60 plentiful as of late, and find ready 

 sale. Eoses are about equal to the de- 

 mand. The green goods market is well 

 supplied. There are plenty of gladioli 

 to fill all orders. 



Various Notes. 



The staff of the Baumgarten Floral 

 Co. say that, considering there is never 

 much doing during July and August, 

 they are well satisfied with the run of 

 things thus far. Funeral work with 

 them has been one of the main items. 



At the store of the Edlefsen-Leidiger 

 Co. the old front has been removed to 

 make way for a more modern one. 

 Miss Eose Semler, vice-president of the 

 firm, reported for duty on Monday, 

 August 22, after a four weeks' vaca- 

 tion. 



Our representatives at the Eochester 

 convention returned Saturday evening, 

 and they have only words of praise in 

 regard to the exhibitions, entertain- 

 ments and general run of affairs. J. E. 

 Matthewson, of Sheboygan, who went 

 with our boys, also came back with 

 them. 



Wm. Zimmermann left Tuesday, 

 August 23, for St. Louis, Mo., to at- 

 tend the Eagles' convention. As there 

 are several former Milwaukee boys 

 down there, he undoubtedly will see all 

 there is to be seen and forget all about 

 getting homesick. 



Oscar Kuehn, of St. Louis, Mo., with 

 his wife and family, spent last week in 

 our city, visiting Mr. Kuehn 's parents. 

 It was quite a pleasant surprise, as the 

 scribe had not seen him for nearly ten 

 years. 



Other visitors during the week were: 

 Mr. Sinner, of Sinner Bros., of Eogers 

 Park, 111.; Adam Zender, also of Eogers 

 Park, and Mrs. J. T. Hinchliffe, of 

 Eacine, Wis. E. O.
