.MILVAUKEE. 



The Maricet 



Market conditions last week were fair. 

 Business was not rushing; yet there was 

 enough doing, when one considers the 

 time of the year, so that tliere was no 

 real cause for complaint. With the open- 

 ing of all schools and colleges September 

 7, a number of the folks returned from 

 their summer homes, and thus it will not 

 be long till social functions, which create 

 a demand for tlowers, will again be under 

 way. 



At present good asters are scarce and 

 sell well, causing a tine opening for 

 good, clean carnations, even though the 

 stems are still sliort. All in all, the aster 

 market for this season, both in quality 

 and quantity, is far behind that of pre- 

 vious years. The sujiply of roses is about 

 equal to demand, with a brisk demand 

 for I^eauties. 



Club Meeting. 



The main topic of discussion at the 

 last club meeting, held September 2, was 

 the fall tlower show. Several members 

 of the executive committee outlined some 

 of their plans and tried to make it clear 

 that it is only with the good will and as- 

 sistance of each member that this affair 

 can be made a success. 



Owing to the lack of the time which 

 the office demand.s, M. P. Vallier, secre- 

 tary of the club, handed in his resigna- 

 tion. It was accepted and Eugene Oes- 

 treicher was elected to fill out the bal- 

 ance of the term. 



Various Notes. 



The Wisconsin State Fair will take 

 place September ]3 to 17, and we will 

 then have as our guest President Taft. 

 Although his stay at the fair will be 

 brief, it undoubtedly will help swell the 

 attendance. 



Robert Zepnick, on Lincoln avenue, is 

 having the interior of his store tinted in 

 oream, and, with its gilded furnishings, 

 it will present quite a neat appearance.

DENVER. 



The Market. 



Business is quiet. A little funeral 

 work makes about all the business 

 there is. 



The supply of flowers is equal to the 

 demand, for not many are needed. Good 

 stock is scarce. Asters, perhaps, are the 

 exception ; while there is no glut of them, 

 they are seen in quantity. Most of them 

 are second-grade. White roses are 

 scarce. Beauties are coming in, perhaps, 

 in larger supply than any other roses, 

 but few long stems are seen as yet. All 

 of the foregoing are in good demand.

Gladioli are still in the running, but 

 sweet peas are about down and out. The 

 new-crop carnations are appearing, but in 

 a limited supply. A few chrysanthemums 

 are seen at some of the stores. 



Belated Convention News. 



Those who attended the convention are 

 slowly returning, and are sought out and 

 interviewed by those who remained be- 

 hind. All report having had a fine time, 

 as the Cincinnati brothers did all they 

 could to make the visit a pleasant one. 



The president's reception at the Zoo 

 gardens was a success. It is a beautiful 

 place and well kept. The fireworks were 

 much enjoyed. The illustrated poem, 

 "Hiawatha," acted by real Indians, was 

 also greatly appreciated. 



The bowling of the Denver bunch 

 turned out as well as was expected, and 

 was not bad for a lot of ' ' bum ' ' bowlers. 

 However, one of the team men won 

 prizes, and another man won second prize 

 in the individuals.
