The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



May 6, 1909. 



MILWAUKEE. 



The Market 



Business and weather last week were 

 spasmodic. The first part of tlie week was 

 rather quiet, but the fiuish, all iu all, 

 was fairly good. Iu makiug compari- 

 Bons with records of a year ago, we fiud 

 conditions just the reverse. Last year 

 the weather was good and the market 

 glutted with stock, while last week the 

 supply was very limited, especially lu 

 carnations, causing the price to go up a 

 notch. 



The dark days and cool nights were 

 really beneficial to violets, which, with 

 white sweet peas, cleaned up well. Har- 

 risii are still abundant and move slowly. 

 Greens are equal to demand, with the 

 exception of smilax, which for the last 

 fortnight has been scarce, and what there 

 is, is short and not any too good. A 

 few weeks will see it iu good condition 

 again. 



VariotM Notes. 



The storm of last week did consider- 

 able damage to the establishment of J. 

 E. Matthewson, Sheboygan, Wis., caus- 

 ing him to put in a rush order for glass 

 with a local firm. 



On May 4, in the midst of a few 

 friends and relatives, Fred J. Manke and 

 .Miss Erna Denziu, of Milwaukee, were 

 married. F. J. Manke and Wm. Manke 

 constitute the firm of Manke Bros., of 

 North Milwaukee, who grow carnations 

 exclusively. 



Holtou & Hunkel's two 400-foot houses 

 at Brown Deer will be glazed this week, 

 weather permitting. 



C. C. Pollworth Co., which has a large 

 stock of nice spring bedding plants, says 

 orders for these are steadily increasing. 

 They anticipate an extra good season. 



Gust Pohl is cutting some exceptionally 

 fine snapdragons and sweet peas. He 

 had a large assortment of pansies, all 

 well grown, but the call has been light 

 so far, owing to the unfavorable weather. 



Outdoor work is at a standstill, on 

 account of the wet. On Saturday, May 

 1, it snowed all day, and this was foi- 

 lowed by several degrees of frost the 

 same night. E, O. 



Galveston, Tex.— It is reported that 

 a corporation with $50,000 capital is 

 being organized to build a range of 

 houses here for growing cut flowers. The 

 backers of the project are not yet dis 

 closed.
