Here are two of our many and 

 graceful centerpiece and display 

 baskets. The uses of such baskets 

 for decorative purposes are so num- 

 erous that the suggestion of them 

 ought to be sufficient.

The supply of good stock last week 

 was plentiful and, with a good demand, 

 there was little left over. Roses were a 

 little plentiful at times, and the poorer 

 grades of mums hung fire. It is notice- 

 able that yellow mums have been in de- 

 mand, and the supply has been rather 

 short.

 the local club were attending the Chicago

Various Notes. 



That Milwaukee growers can produce

 For instance, the C. C. PoUworth Co. se- 

 cured six prizes on six entries in the 

 palm and fern class, and every carnation
