MILWAUKEE, WIS. 



The Market. 



Stock remains about the same as it 

 has been for some time past. The sup- 

 ply of carnations is still large and 

 equal to the demand. Of course, white 

 carnations were in great demand for 

 St. Patrick's day and were in fine 

 shAPC- "^^6 proportion of white seems 

 to be about normal. 



Boses are increasing in supply right 

 along, owing to the fine spring weather 

 and the abundance of sunshine which 

 we have been having for the last week. 

 The weather has been exceptionally 

 warm lately; the thermometer regis- 

 tered close to 50 degrees Saturday, 

 March 14. Sunday evening we were 

 treated to our first rain storm of the 

 season. If the warm weather contin- 

 ues, the prospects are bright for an 

 exceedingly large cut of everything 

 for Easter. The quality of the roses 

 is exceptionally fine at this time, and 

 the stock is being cleaned up as fast 

 as it is cut. 



The supply of violets and sweet peas 

 is quite large, enabling the trade to 

 take care of all orders on this stock. 

 The Butterfly sweet peas are excep- 

 tionally fine and are bringing good 

 prices. Bulbous stock is in fine condi- 

 tion and is selling well. All indica- 

 tions are that there will be an enor- 

 mous sale of plants in and out of pots 

 for Easter; in fact, there are some va- 

 rieties which are practically sold out 

 at this early date. Lent is not mak- 

 ing the usual inroads in the flower 

 business this year, and while we can 

 give no good reason for it, we are ex- 

 tremely glad of the fact. 



Various Notes. 



Wm. King, of Antigo, Wis., visited 

 Milwaukee last week. Mr. King says 

 that business at Antigo has been quite 

 good so far this season. H. J. S. 



Mrs. C. C. Pollworth fell on a slip- 

 pery walk last week and broke her 

 ankle. 



Pawnee City, Neb. — The residence 

 and office of J. E. Atkinson, proprie- 

 tor of the Northedge Nurseries &

 pondence and trade literature.

||F YOU ONLY KNEW what a good eave 

 II the METROPOLITAN PATENTED is. 



you would use no other. It is made of 

 cast iron and will not rust. That part of 

 your greenhouse which in other constructions 

 is the weakest becomes, the strongest. Not 

 this alone, it is ice-clearing and carries all 

 the water of condensation from the inside, 

 nnd it is so constructed that almost the entire end 

 of the bar is exposed to the air, thereby iireventing 

 decay. Only one screw, about two inches from the 

 end, is all that is necessary to secure the bars. For 

 side stationary glass, wood headers are absolutely 

 unnecessary, thereby causing no shade. Zinc glass 

 stops are not necessary— the eave is made with a lug 

 to prevent the glass from slipping. Let your next 

 house be built with a M«tropolltan Patented 

 Iron Wall Conatructlan. You will never regret 

 it. Our price and service arte right.
