MILWAUKEE, WIS. 



Mention The Review when you write 



the heavy suow February 18 was used 

 for propagating. It contained some 25,- 

 000 Beauty cuttings and some other 

 young stock. The house will be rebuilt 

 as early as possible. 



F. B. Dickinson has resigned the sec- 

 retaryship of the E. H. Hunt corporation, 

 which he has held for the last two years. 

 He is an uncle of C. M. Dickinson, treas- 

 urer and manager of the company. 



George Woodward says business is 

 good on Lake avenue but that he is 

 awakening to the fact that sometimes 

 sales mav be brisk and collections slow. 



Bassett & Washburn say their spring 

 crop of Beauties is neither coming or 

 going, but is right on. 



Peter O'Neill, husband of Bertha J. 

 O 'Neill, died February 28 and was buried 

 Wednesday morning at St. Boniface. 

 Mrs. O 'Neill was known to all the whole- 

 salers, and many retailers, as Bertha 

 Crost. She is a cousin of the Jegen sis- 

 ters and for fifteen years prior to her 

 marriage with Mr. O'Neill was employed 

 in the Jegen flower store on Dearborn 

 street. 



Room 209 in the Atlas block is for 

 lease from May 1. It is 20x80 and the 

 landlord thinks it would be a nice, friend- 

 ly proceeding to have someone start an- 

 other wholesale cut flower business there. 

 Until recently he had fourteen wholesale 

 florists as tenants, but lost one, making 

 thirteen at present, which he thinks un- 

 lucky for him, though some people would 

 consider theiArelves quite fortunate to 

 have thirteen wholesalers paying them 

 rent, and not low rents either. 



Peter Eeinberg says that he has two 

 ears of glass on hand, but will not use it 

 this season. However, there is plenty 

 of time for him to change his mind, and 

 election will soon be over. He says he 

 will make additional room for White Kil- 

 larney by dropping Maid and cutting 

 down on Bride and Uncle John. He will 

 not reduce the number of Beauty plants. 

 Mr. Eeinberg says he never has seen 

 such a call for cuttings as he finds this 

 year for White Perfection and Enchant-

It is reported that the Chicago Eose 

 Co. and the city building inspection de- 

 partment do not agree on the details of 

 the rearrangement of the basement of

 receive a sample package that will color 100 carnations

Wabash avenue and Eandolph street, to 

 which the Chicago Eose Co. had expected 

 to move. 



Wholesale florists have received a com- 

 munication from the retailers, over the 

 signature of L. E. Bohannon, temporary 

 chairman, defining the classes of trade 



which the retailers think the wholesalers 

 should not undertake to handle. The 

 circular is one prepared last November, 

 but which was withheld until a more 

 favorable time, which is now thought to 

 have arrived.
