At the biggest flower shows last fall Milwaukee Beauties and Carnations were the most talked of

 Milwaukee Carnations were notable in comparison with the best of the entire country.

The Market 



Business last week was not as rushing 

 as it has been, but if we must have some 

 dull days, they did not come amiss, as 

 every one has had his nose to the grind- 

 stone for the last mqnth, and a little rest 

 will do good. 



Good stock is plentiful, no doubt due 

 to the lack of demand. Bride and Maid 

 are showing the effects of the recent hot 

 weather. Beauties and Killarney are 

 coming in as good as ever. Most of the 

 violets are the Hudson river stock and 

 they are unsatisfactory, as they come in 

 poor and on account of the hot weather 

 their keeping qualities are ruined. Peas 

 are plentiful. Some outdoor jonquils are 

 still to be had. Easter and calla lilies 

 are cleaned up daily, as are the carna- 

 tions. The first outdoor lilacs made their 

 appearance last week. 



In blooming plants there is not a great 

 variety, as everything was cleaned up at 

 Easter. Some good ramblers and hy- 

 drangeas are to be seen and move well. 

 Pansies are to be had in quantity. 



Various Notes. 



H. W. Bieman is showing a fine lot of 

 hydrangeas. Mr. Bieman received a large 

 importation of box trees recently and 

 reports a heavy sale for them. 



Baur & Smith enjoyed a fine business 

 in geraniums this year, having sold en- 

 tirely out. This firm has a nice lot of its 

 white carnation potted up and expects to 

 grow them extensively this fall for cut- 

 ting. 



The next monthly meeting of the State 

 Florists' Association will be held on the 

 first Wednesday night of May at the 

 Elks' club. The question of the fall 

 show will be up and a large attendance 

 is expected. The meeting will be fol- 

 lowed by a real Dutch lunch.
