Mention The Review ^hen you writa 



crop with most of the growers in his 

 neighborhood, but that other sorts mostly 

 are oflf crop. 



H. E, Hughes is ill at an inopportune 

 time. 



J. E. Jensen says Jensen & Dekema 

 have had much the best season on record 

 in the sale of carnation cuttings. 



Joseph Brooks, carnation grower, of 

 Morton Grove, has recovered from a 

 week's illness. 



Venerable George Wittbold has been 

 ill for several days. He finds his greatest 

 pleasure at the potting bench, and re- 

 cently overtaxed his strength in shifting 

 some large Bostons. 



There are any number of plants this 

 Easter, but little that is out of the or- 

 dinary. 



At the depot flower stands and many 

 other places in the city large signs ad- 

 vise the use of "Randall's Velvet Lawn 

 Grass Seed," and there always is a pile 

 of neat cartons of seed ready at hand. 



Eobert Northam is again on deck. 



Leonard Kill says that Peter Eein- 

 berg 's cut flower sales in March increased 

 an average of over $125 a day straight 

 through the month, and this with only 

 the addition of three small carnation 

 houses to the glass area. This season is 

 proving one of the most successful Mr. 

 Beinberg has had. 



James Ronan, 60 yeers old, and for 

 many years gardener for Julius Rosen- 

 wald, was found dead April 2, seated in 

 a chair in his employer's greenhouse. 



Members of the trade have received in- 

 vitations to be present at the opening of 

 the new Columbia theater, Milwaukee, 

 Saturday evening, April 10, and there 

 would be a good delegation, except that 



it is the night before Easter. The house 

 is owned and managed by Lubliner & 

 Trinz, and has a seating capacity of 

 1,800. 



Wietor Bros, say that they received 

 2,500 White Killarney from F. R. Pier- 

 son Co. in February, fine plants that are 

 now ready to go on the benches and will 

 be planted right after Easter. They also 

 are ready to plant several houses with 

 young Beauties. This season Wietor 

 Bros, will plant 15,000 Mrs. Jardine, and 

 will drop Chatenay and one or two others, 

 to make room. 



The store at 52 and 54 Wabash avenue 

 is undergoing extensive alterations and 

 improvements, the street floor to be occu- 

 pied by a tobacco concern and the base- 

 ment by Vaughan & Sperry after May 1. 



George Hartung, at 11816 Michigan 

 avenue, Kensington, reports good pros- 

 pects for Easter, with several large dec- 

 orations to put on later in the month. 



E. C. Amling says Easter orders did 

 not come in early this year, but that be- 

 ginning Monday morning they came heav- 

 ier than ever before, many by wire sev- 

 eral days in advance of shipment. 



Bassett & Washburn say March made 

 a new record with them. 



C. W. McKellar has received consign- 

 ments of cut blooms of Oncidium splen- 

 didum from J. A. Newsham, New Or- 

 leans. 



The Blameuser Floral Co., at Niles, 

 has been incorporated, with $25,000 

 authorized capital stock, by Edward H. 

 Blameuser, Mary Blameuser and Emil C. 

 Blameuser. 



Visitors this week included: W. Lo- 

 gan Kring, Fairbury, 111.; C. L. Snyder, 

 of the El Paso Carnation Co., El Paso, 



111.; C. G. Dwight, Janesville, Wis.; A. 

 Siegel, St. Louis; J. H. Shelton, Roches- 

 ter, Ind.; M. Eeukauf, of Bayersdorfer 

 & Co., en route home from the Pacific 

 coast. 



MIL'TAUKEE. 



The Market 



With plenty of stock, business all last 

 week was good. The weather has been 

 quite favorable up to now, and the pros- 

 pects are that there will be plenty of 

 stock for the Easter holidays, with the 

 exception of carnations, which will not be 

 so plentiful and cheap as they have beeu 

 the last few years. Every grower seemed 

 to have a heavy cut of these just about 

 the time Lent began, and it is a little 

 too soon for another such crop. There 

 are plenty of fine blooming plants in this 

 market, which undoubtedly will l)e 

 cleaned out, as the orders are coming in 

 fast. With the advanced price in some 

 cut flowers, a good many buyers are hol'l- 

 ing out, in the hope of getting the beni 

 fit. All in all, everything points to a 

 grand Easter business. 



Most of the florists, especially those on 

 the outskirts of the city, enjoyed a goo'l 

 run on cut flowers in small quantitii-*- 

 these being used by the children wli" 

 were confirmed on Palm Sunday. Yellow 

 roses were mostly in demand. 



Various Note*. 



The weather being favorable, sever;) 1 

 have begun greenhouse building. Tlie 

 Mueller & Schroeder Co. has gutters ami 

 posts up for two carnation houses, eaeli 

 26x150. Fred Schmeling, Blue Moun-l
