Mention The Review when you write. 



it is dug, as gypsy moth egg masses 

 are often found in the earth clods. In 

 ovorgreen stock it is hard to detect 

 gypsy moth eggs. In regard to the 

 brown-tail moth, he said that taking 

 off the webs does not insure the eradi- 

 cation of the moth, because oftentimes, 

 when the webs are cut off in the fall, 

 the moths are not all in the nest and 

 until all the leaves are off the trees 

 and the weather is cold one can not 

 get them all. He advised owners to 

 make freer use of the lime-sulphur 

 spray. 



MILWAUKEE, WIS. 



The Market. 



Milwaukee is having a great deal 

 more than its share of dark, cloudy 

 weather. The weather man has suc- 

 ceeded in foisting upon us the largest 

 and most diversified collection of clouds 

 that he could possibly accumulate. We 

 have had practically no sunshine for 

 the last ten days and of course this 

 makes tremendous inroads on the cut 

 for Easter. 



Roses are plentiful and the stock is 

 exceptionally fine, considering the lack 

 of sunshine. The crop will be in prime 

 condition for the Easter trade. Amer- 

 ican Beauties are in great demand, and 

 the supply is entirely inadequate. Car- 

 nations are still plentiful and they are 

 cleaning up every day. The stock is 

 fine, but the volume of Easter orders 

 is so great already that unless we have 

 fine, warm weather from now on, the 

 supply will not be equal to the demand. 



Sweet peas are also being affected by 

 the dark weather, and the crop is less- 

 ening considerably. Violets are still 

 fine and will be in crop for Easter. 

 Bulbous stock is fine and is having 

 large sales at this time. 



Common ferns are extremely scarce 

 and we are afraid that the sources of 

 supply are almost exhausted. 



Various Notes. 



A. Klockner has opened a store at 

 Sixth and Grand avenues, where he has 

 a fine assortment of spring nursery and 

 garden stock. This store i« centrally 

 located and should do a big business. 

 It is surprising that no one has had the 

 forethought to establish a retail store 

 of this nature there sooner. 



P. Nohos & Co. have succeeded in 

 getting the display windows next door 

 to show their Easter stock. This will 

 greatly enhance their chances for an 

 enormous Easter trade. 



Wm. Lubliner had the entire decora- 

 tion of the interior of the Stumpf & 

 Langhoff store, at Second and Grand 

 avenues, for their opening recently. He

^ The One Best 

 ^ Pink Canna is 

 !fi Mrs. Alfred Conard 



IT'S a wondrous salmon pink that 

 fades into beautiful piuk tones. 

 It blooms early and keeps at it. 

 When spent, the blooms free them- 

 selves from the stalk. Its height 

 isaverage. Weoriginatedthiscanna. 

 It has all the stamina and backbone 

 in it that flire characteristic of the 

 cannas Mr. Wintzer develops. 



We have an exceptionally flue lot 

 of stock, such as will look good 

 to your most critical customers. 



You can depend on our not tend- 

 ing you any culls. 



If you want Conaid, Humbert, 

 Meteor, Blanche Wintzer or what- 

 ever kinds; if we should be sold out 

 on our fine Swastika standard size 

 clumps — we won't send anything. 

 That's the way we do business. 



We ship our cannas in any quanti- 

 ties direct from our storage shelves 

 and not in already packed boxed 

 lots.

J. M. Fox returned Tuesday, March

 visited the New York flower show. Mr. 



Fox says that the show gave him some 

 useful ideas. As his trip was limited 

 to only a week, he had little time for 

 anything but business. Since his re- 

 turn he has been busy making the final
