The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



JANUABT 26, 1912. 



MILWAUKEE. 



The Market. 



That the recent cold weather was di- 

 rectly responsible for the slack busi- 

 ness was proven, for when warmer 

 weather set in last week business again 

 became more active. The trouble, 

 though, was the scarcity of stock in 

 most lines. Boses and carnations were 

 not up to the demand at any time. 

 Beauties are still scarce. Tulips and 

 trumpet narcissi moved well, while 

 Paper Whites and Eomans did not fare 

 BO well. Violets again held their own, 

 while the sale for valley was wanting. 



Various Notes. 



Julius Boelter, of Boelter & Zuehlke, 

 Appleton, Wis., was a mid-week visitor. 

 It might be added that he wore that 

 smile that won't come off, due to the 

 fact that it is now Mr. and Mrs. J. 

 Boelter; Mrs. Boelter was with him. 



Charles Menger has become a mem- 

 ber of the Milwaukee Florists' Auto 

 Club, having purchased a forty-five 

 horse-power Peerless machine for de- 

 livery purposes. He saynt' was just 

 the thing during the holiday rush, 

 which exceeded that of any previous 

 year. 



Though they have done away with 

 Sunday funerals, the force at the store 

 of Currie Bros. Co. say matters are 

 worse than before. Now that the fu- 

 nerals fall on Monday, they are com- 

 pelled to work Sunday evenings to get 

 out the work which formerly was done 

 on Saturday nights. 



The Baumgarten Floral Co. says that 

 since the cold weather has stopped, the 

 firm has been kept busy, mainly with 

 funeral work. 



The C. C. Pollworth Co. is the only 

 local wholesale house, at this writing, 

 that is trying to create a demand for 

 carnations for McKinley day, Janu- 

 ary 29, by displaying neatly printed 

 advertising matter to that effect. 



Gust Eusch & Co. complained of a 

 shortage in light colored stock, espe- 

 cially white roses, for funeral work last 

 week. 



The Holton & Hunkel Co., which han- 

 dles the famous Watertown, Wis., vio- 

 lets, reports that sales in that line were 

 quite satisfactory last week. 



Visitor: N. J. Bupp, of the J. C. 

 Moninger Co., Chicago. E. 0. 



Bacine, Wis. — During the recent zero 

 weather the green houses of W. Jack- 

 son, on the Lake Shore road, south of 

 ^'is city, oould not be sufficiently 

 heated and his stock of flowers and 

 vegetables was badly damaged.
