The Market 



Trade since Easter has been pretty 

 good; quite a few receptions and other 

 affairs, which, with a steady run of fu- 

 neral work, kept everyone good-natured 

 to date. The retailers now have easy 

 sailing, for there is more than enough 

 stock in almost every line. Especially is 

 this true of roses and Harrisii, the latter 

 bringing prices that are nothing to brag 

 about. Carnations are more plentiful, but 

 the quality is fine and not many remain 

 over. Violets are nearly at an end for this 

 season. The only flowers still holding 

 their own are sweet peas. 



Vaciom Notes. 



William Helwig is now nicely domi- 

 ciled in his new quarters on Mitchell 

 street, between Fourth and Fifth avenues. 



Wm. Manke, of North Milwaukee, who 

 was confined to the house with an attack 

 of inflammatory rheumatism, and not 

 grippe, as previously reported, is again 

 able to perform some of his duties at the 

 greenhouses. 



Nic Zweifel, at North Milwaukee, now 

 has a team of young horses to make the 

 trip of fourteen miles to the wholesale 

 houses and back. 



At the recent city election Mrs. C. B. 

 Whitnall, wife of C. B. Whitnall, retired 

 florist and honorary member of the local 

 florists' club, was elected a member of 

 the school board. She also is chairman 

 of the Outdoor Art Association. 



The park board has just received a 

 consignment of 1,200 hardy roses from 

 Holland, to be used in beautifying Lake 



The committee of the Outdoor Art As- 

 sociation will begin work this week on 

 the river front projects. Much credit is 

 due them for the way they proposed and 

 carried out the plans for beautifying the 

 river front last year. They intend to 

 continue the good work by urging the 

 planting of hardy vines, trees and shrub- 

 bery. . ^, . . • -i 



It has been customary in this vicinity 

 to begin planting carnations into the field 

 the last week in April, but this year no- 

 body has dared to think of it up to this 

 date, April 26, for we have been having 

 rain one day and sunshine the next for

The Market 



Trade since Easter has been quiet, es- 

 pecially in the cut flower line. There has 

 been some demand for flowers for fu- 

 neral work, but not enough to consume 

 the increased cut in roses, which are com- 

 ing in by the carload. 



The street fakers have been busy the 

 entire week, and quantities of stock were 

 moved by them which would otherwise 



have been an absolute loss. Violets took 

 a tumble along with other things, and 

 piled up early in the week. About the 

 only articles that sold were sweet peas, 

 valley and carnations. 



Various Notes. 



The wind storm that visited this vicin- 

 ity on Wednesday, April 21, did consid- 

 erable damage to many greenhouse 

 plants. Those suffering the heaviest loss 

 were E. G. Wilson, Isaac Kennedy and 

 John Hudson, whose places were almost 

 wrecked. The storm traveled in the form 

 of a hurricane, and any kind of structure 

 in its path had to suffer. Almost every 

 florist in or about Cleveland was busy 

 putting in glass after the storm, which 

 did not last over ten minutes.
