MILWAUKEE. 



The Market. 



Tli<^ market is in niiieh the same con- 

 dition .as icpi.itcd in last Aveek "s l\e- 

 vieAv; tliere is rcallx- too much Avliite 

 stoclx, Avith no funeral worlv \<i spe.ak of. 

 ]t's ]»rolialily the lull liefon* the storm. 



AVith a jirosjiect of no Beauties for 

 Christmas, the demand for red roses 

 and red ciirnations will \iiidoubtedly lie 

 extra hea\y. 



Club Meeting. 



The Milwaukee Florists' Cluli meet- 

 ing: Thursdav. Decnnlier 7, was exce]i- 

 tionallv Avell attended and hv far the 



most sjdrited ludd for some time. The 

 (dection of ollicers for liUli no doubt 

 l»rou;:ht the boys around and this point 

 of busint'ss was transacted in double 

 (|uick time for the secretary was in- 

 stru(ded to cast one Aote in eaidi case, 

 there bein^i' only one candidate for each 

 (dlice. with the exception of trustee 

 for three years. This speaks wcdl for 

 the followin.y', who were icldected: 

 I'resident, ]}. \'. llunktd; \ ice jiresident. 

 Arthur Ijiddijzer: treasurer, .lohu (<. 

 lieitmann; sei I'etary, (iustax' Muidler; 

 trustee for three years, (ius. I'ohl. 

 .lames Lix inuston, jirivate ;^arilem'r for 

 Fred \'oj:td, .Ir., was unanimously 

 (dected a new memliei'. 



Those ]iresent did not lose any cour- 

 ajic or i^oofl spirits when they heard the 

 leport of the cxeciitixc committee of 

 the recent llower sliow. wliith showed 

 that owin.ii- to the small attendance the 

 didiit side ol' the ledj:er won out. It 

 was "generally ajireed that tlu' show in 

 itself came up to ex]iectations; in fact, 

 the (|uality of stcxdv was better than in 

 jirev ious years. 



(twinj: to the faid that the display 

 facilities and ]>oor inducements at the 



Wisi'onsin stat(> fairs are usually inado- 

 (jUate, the chair. u|ion motion by the 

 (duTi. apjiointed the following: committee 

 to coiipci'atc with Ihe projicr anthori 

 ties: b'oy ('urrie, < '. < '. I'ollwnrtli .ami 

 ('. J)allwi,<^. with the latter as chair- 

 man. The i\(iry j^axtd. donated by the 

 Chicago florist^, was used to ad\aiita.i:e 

 and ri'called only jileasaiit ihon.uhts to 

 most of us. 



Various Notes. 



Si^inund K.aufmann. at one time asso- 

 ciated with ^\'m. Ksihriiti at North 

 .Milwaukee, but recently of ('hica;:o. 

 has !it:ain yone into busines-; hei-e. Last 

 week he purchased the .lolin iJurmeister 

 establishment at Tippecanoe, which 

 I'omprises tlir(>e j.;ree,iliouses, L'7 x 2'l(i, 

 two acres of bind and a j:ood sizeil 

 dwellin;: house, all in j^ood condition. 



.\. A\'. AVonas(d;. who li.ad the flower 

 stand at the Boston Store, h.as vacated 

 the stand and i^nne on an extended trip 

 AM'st. 'J'he ]{oston Store now conducts 

 the stand. I'liliki' other dejiartment 

 store flower manajicrs. Mr. Wonas(d< ran 

 his business in su(di a way that it was 

 more of a credit than a detriment to 



our iirofessJon, and in liim wo miss a 

 good man. 



At the A. F. Kellner Co. the decorat- 

 ing brancli of the liusiiiess has again 

 gained the ])act> of th(> good old times 

 and things loid^ good for the remainder 

 of this year. 



At the .r. M. l-'ox \- Son store there 

 was unusual acti\ity last Sunday fore- 

 noon, for a force oi' ludp was busy ]iut- 

 tiiij: up the Christmas decorations. Wild 

 sinilax was used profusely ami to good 

 adv antage. 



The llolton \ lluuktd < C has a splen- 

 did lot of jioinsettias and liegonia 

 (iloire do Lorraine at their Humboldt 

 avenue greenhouses, while out at lirown 

 Deer their croji of jiink and white Kil- 

 larney roses will hold out through the 

 holidays. Advance shipping orders are 

 coming in frcndy. 



While things were i.ot anything to 

 brag about l:is. wetdi. (Jus IJusch ^; Co. 

 are looking forward to a busy holiday 

 trade. 



The C. <'. Poll worth Co. reports a good 

 sujijily in all lines, with a steady de- 

 mand. They say they will be well 

 sujiidied in roses, carnations, violets, 

 Pajier Whites and Romans, but they 

 anticdpate a shortage in the sujiply of 

 American Beauties, for they have been 

 a scarce article of late. In potted plants 

 they have a large stock in prime con- 

 dition. 



.1. 11. ('riddle, Stoughton, Wis., was 

 a recent visitor. F. O. 



Fred B. Bavis. propri(dor of the 

 M. A. :McKenney Co.. has purchased the 

 jirojiertv known as the Goll homestead, 

 at .")S1 to aS:{ .Ia(d<son street. The prop- 

 erty imdudes a lot (iOijxl:27 foot and 

 a double thre(>-story brick dwelling 

 hous(\ at one time considered the most 

 handsome residence on the east side. 

 The building will bo remodeled and 

 used as new headquarters for the 

 .McKeniu'v Co. The ]iric(> paid was ap- 

 ]iro\imatoly $2;'),i)iii). 



NEW YORK. 



The Market. 



Last we<d< was a .1 isa|ipoi ntment in 

 the cut llower m.arket. 'the idg snow 

 storm was simply the harliiiigor of an- 

 other mild sjKdl. I'nless the change to 

 seasonable weather comes (|ui(ddy 

 there will be a laryc addition to the 

 shipmiuits. with a cons{i|uent scarrcdty

 While a few are assured (wen beyond 

 Christmas, the receipts now :ire light
