The Florists' Review 



Mabch 12, 1914. 



MILWAXTEEE, WIS. 



The Market. 



There has not been much change in 

 market conditions in the last week. 

 Carnations are still plentiful and the 

 stock is good. Koses are arriving in 

 larger quantities, and while they are 

 still scarce, the supply is increasing 

 from day to day. If we have another 

 week of sunshine it will do wonders for 

 the rose crop. Bulbous stock is in 

 prime condition and is selling excep- 

 tionally well. 



Violets are plentiful at this time, but 

 as the demand remains heavy, the cut 

 is being disposed of with little diffi- 

 culty. Sweet peas are in good shape 

 and are seHing exceedingly well. The 

 Butterfly varieties are exceptionally 

 large and fancy; in fact, are the finest 

 the market has known for some years. 



'- Various Notes. 



M, A. McKenney & Co. report busi- 

 ness quite good, considering the fact 

 that Lent usually makes a hole in the 

 sales of the florists. They have experi- 

 enced almost no falling off in their 

 trade so far. 



Holton & Hunkel Co. has just issued 

 a list of plants for the Easter trade 

 that is quite attractive. There are a 

 number of cuts in this catalogue which 

 are exceptionally clear and show the 

 fine points of the different plants to 

 good advantage. They say the stock 

 is exceptionally fine this year. 



Adam Zender, of Chicago, was in 

 Milwaukee from March 5 to 7. Friday 

 he visited the enlarged plant of the 

 Holton & Hunkel Co. at Brown Deer, 

 Wis. 



The Brunswick Lunch, a new, first- 

 i'lass restaurant, was opened March 7. 

 It is one of the finest of its kind in the 

 country and the florists received some 

 good-sized orders for the opening ban- 

 quet. These, coupled with orders for 

 parties and dinners, more numerous 

 than in former years during Lent, kept 

 the sales for the week up to normal. 



IT. J. S. 



Detroit, Minn. — George H. Sturtevant 

 has leased the greenhouses of George 

 C. Moore and will continue the business 

 along the same lines. 



Minneapolis, Minn. — The park board 

 of this city has provided funds for the 

 continuation of the gardens planted as 

 the outdoor exhibit of the S. A. F. last 

 August. Superintendent "Wirth expects 

 to have florists in different parts of 

 the country contribute plants, shrubs 

 and bulbs, which will be planted in beds 

 marked with the contributor's name, 

 and cared for by park attendants.

An Incorrect 

 Statement 



IN a recent issue of one of the 

 trade papers, it was mis- 

 takenly stated that the N. F. 

 McCarthy house at Montrose, 

 Mass., was erected by one of 

 our competitors. 



You will be glad to learn that 

 Mr. McCarthy gave us the order 

 last Fall for this Iron Frame 

 house 250x60 feet. 



Just now the house is all 

 enclosed, «nd we are working: 

 on the heating. 



In a near future issue, we will 

 tell you all about this house.
