MILWAUKEE. 



The Market. 



Business for the last fortnight was, 

 considering that we are in the midst ol 

 Lent, quite satisfactory. The supply of 

 bulbous stock, violets and carnations has 

 increased to such an extent that it means 

 hustle on the part of the wholesale deal- 

 ers to keep stock from piling up. In con- 

 sequence prices have taken a drop. The 

 only article that held its own and was 

 quickly disposed of was white carnations. 



Sweet peas are arriving in larger quan- 

 tities and the quality is good. They 

 move well. Eoses are about equal to de- 

 mand and all Beauties are disposed of. 

 The supply of green goods is not equal 

 to the demand. 



Various Notes. 



Last week the Milwaukee Automobile 

 Club held its second annual exhibition, in 

 the large hall of the Auditorium, and 

 this created a demand for decorative 

 plants, wild smilax and wreathing, which 

 were furnished by Wm. Zimmermann. 

 Owing to a misunderstanding, quite a 

 number of local auto dealers held an in- 

 dependent exhibition, which in turn also 

 kept several florists busy decorating the 

 private garages. 



The "Wisconsin Floral Co. reports a 

 good business for Washington 's birthday, 

 in flowers running in the red, white and 

 blue shades. 



The Baumgarten Floral Co., at Fifth 

 street and Grand avenue, had its window 

 decorated with sweet peas, violets and 

 daffodils, in vases that were covered with 

 crepe paper of the same shade as the 

 flowers, presenting a most artistic sight. 



The Edlefsen-Leidiger Co. says that 

 the average busrness for the month of 

 February was quite satisfactory. At 

 present the firm is having a run on sweet 

 peas and bulbous stock. 



J. M. Fox & Son, on Milwaukee street, 

 are displaying some exceptionally fine 

 tulips in neat pans. 



Owing to sickness. Manager Gust 

 Rush, of the Holton & Hunkel Co, force 

 at the wholesale house, was confined to his 

 home the first part of this week. 



The C. C. Pollworth Co. always keeps 

 a good supply of blooming plants on 

 hand and reports them moving finely. 

 Shipping trade with them keeps up well. 



Mr. Olson, of Holm & Olson, St. Paul, 

 Minn., spent Tuesday and "Wednesday, 

 February 22 and 23, in our city, for a 

 sociable call. 



Harry Balsley, the pot man from De- 

 troit, was a week-end caller. E. O. 



Eli Paso, III. — The El Paso Carnation 

 Oo. now has nine houses, one for growij^ 

 violets having been put up last fall. Busi- 

 nees is good and the demajid constantly 

 increasing.
