A fine combination, that is if the stock is good. DID you ever try our 

 stock? You ought to, it pleases. 



Of course we have everything else in flowers, such as Valley, Tulips, 

 Daffodils, Lilies, Carnations and Roses.

HOLTON & HUNKEL CO. 



Without doubt the best equipped Wholesale House In the country. 



462 Milwaukee Street, MILWAUKEE, WIS. 



Mention The Review when you write 



town last week, booking orders for bulb- 

 ous stock for Easter trade. 



Stewart Ritchie has opened a retail 

 store at 40 Broadway, Newport. 



Charles Macnair was a visitor at New 

 York the early part of last week. 



William Hay is about to erect a prop- 

 agating house, 20x100, on his new place 

 at Oaklawn. The glass was received for 

 the structure last week. He is contem- 

 plating putting up another rose house 

 to duplicate that erected a few months 

 ago, 40x300 feet. 



Mr. Hamilton, of Joseph G. Neid- 

 inger's, of Philadelphia, was in town 

 last week, taking orders for baskets, 

 stands, jardinieres, etc., metallized in im- 

 itation of old-fashioned copper work. 



Alexander Johnson, who was appointed 

 city forester last summer, is preparing 

 for an early crusade on tree pests and 

 for other spring work. 



T. J. Johnston & Co., for whom Ed- 

 ward Brooks is manager, have hung a 

 valuable oil painting of orchids in their 

 store. It is a canvas 3x5 feet, in a 

 heavy gilt frame, and makes an attractive 

 addition to the other decorations. 



Mrs. Thomas Keller, who has been ill 

 for several weeks, is able to be about. 



F. E. Pierson and his traveling man, 

 Mr. Frothingham, of Tarrytown, N. Y., 

 were in town last week. 



M. Serpa, who has a large flower and 

 small market truck garden in Behoboth, 

 just over the line from East Providence, 

 recently lost about $2,500 by a fire, which 

 destroyed all the propagating frames, 

 greenhouses and outbuildings on the 

 place. 



Miss Sellew, who has been with T. J. 

 Johnston & Co., at the store, for many 

 years, has the sympathy of the trade in 

 the loss of her mother, March 12. Miss 

 Sellew has been obliged to devote much 

 time to her parents during the last two 

 years, as her father, who has recently 

 resigned the postmastership of this city, 

 has been ill during that time. 



W. H. M. 



Portsmouth, O. — The Herms Floral 

 Co. is making rapid progress on its new 

 addition. 



Washington C. H., O. — Poole & Purl- 

 lant have sold their greenhouses to Mrs. 

 Lizzie S. Buck and they will be run in 

 connection with the Washington Floral 

 Gardens. 



COLUMBUS, OHIO. 



The Market. 



Trade has been brisk for the last week 

 or so, mostly funeral work, and there has 

 been a scarcity of light colored flowers, 

 making it hard at times to fill orders 

 properly. Stock is coming in fine and is 

 used up close from day to day. There 

 will be a fine lot of azaleas here for 

 Easter, and other stock looks promising. 



Various Notes. 



The Florists' Club held a meeting 

 March 9, at Sherman Stephens' green- 

 house, and afterwards was served with a 

 nice lunch, with a little refreshment on 

 the side, the compliments of Mr. Steph- 

 ens. The next meeting will be held at 

 C. A. Roth's greenhouses, March 23. 



Jas. McKellar, of the Fifth Avenue 

 Floral Co., had to finally submit to an 

 operation for appendicitis at Grant hos- 

 pital and is getting along nicely. 



J. M. 



Independence, Ia. — E. M. Bissell has 

 sold his business to John P. Murphy and 

 has retired because of poor health.
