MILVAUKEE. 



The Market 



For the last week, including Saturday, 

 we have had ideal growing weather, with 

 warm days and moderately cool nights, 

 and this increased the supply of stock 

 considerably. As the demand was equal 

 to the supply, satisfaction reigned all 

 around. The only thing that might have 

 been more plentiful was white carna- 

 tions. 



Qub Meeting;. 



One of the best attended club meetings 

 for some time was held October 7. Theo. 

 Boettcher and Henry Marquardt were 

 elected to membership. 



The main topic of the evening was the 

 fall flower show, to be held November 11 

 to 14. (iust Boesch, who is a man of 

 original ideas, proposed to have one or 

 more forenoons given over to school chil- 

 dren, who, accompanied by their teachers, 

 would view the show free of charge. 

 After a lengthy discussion, in which some 

 stated that it might hinder those who ar- 

 ranged exhibits in certain cut flower 

 classes, the matter was left to the execu- 

 tive committee. The standing entertain- 

 ment committee was instructed to work 

 out tiie social end for the visiting florists. 



A ViBxt to H. V. Koerner's. 



After a little shower Sunday morning, 

 which laid the dust, the writer decided to 

 call on 11. W. Koerncr, at Wauwatosa, 

 and was well repaid for the long walk. 



About seven years ago Mr. Koerner, 

 who up to that time conducted a retail 

 store on the south side, purchased a tract 

 of land on the Burleigh road and con- 

 fined his time to growing dahlias, gladi- 

 oli, hardy phlox and shrubbery. During 

 these seven years he did a good deal of 

 hybridizing, and today he has some of 

 the best seedlings of dahlias, phlox and 

 gladioli in the country. In fact, in the 

 dahlias, of which he has 400 varieties, lie 

 has some which look as if they might, 

 when disseminated, put all of the Twen- 

 tieth Century dahlia varieties in the back- 

 ground. The writer saw some that were 

 seven inches in diameter. In fact, the 

 acres of single, semi-double and double 

 varieties in all imaginable shades were a 

 sight never to be forgotten.

Mention The Review when you write. 



This year he grew about 2,000,000 

 gladioli. In this, too, he has several 

 promising varieties, as yet unnamed. In 

 the hardy phlox line he has seventy-five 

 varieties. 



Another plant of interest ie his im- 

 proved strain of gaillardia, which he has 



jrrown for several seasons. It is n 

 Gaillardia Koerneri. Mr. Koerncr 

 that before he brought his gaillardi 

 the Milwaukee market these flowers 

 of little importance, but today there 

 good demand for his improved strain
