ing, they noticed a decrease in the call 

 for violets at the Wm. Zimmermann 

 ■establishment on Grand avenue. 



A few social functions helped to keep 

 the force busy and in good humor with 

 the M. A. McKenney Co. last week. 



John Benstead, of Eacine, Wis., was 

 a midweek visitor. 



Mrs. A. F. Kellner, who has been 

 troubled with rheumatism for some 

 time, left for Mt. Clemens, Mich., No- 

 vember 30. She expects to be gone 

 about three weeks. 



The annual charity ball will take 

 place December 8. This event is al- 

 ways eagerly looked forward to by 

 many in the trade. 



The untiring entertainment commit- 

 tee of the Milwaukee Florists' Club, 

 which has done its share to forward 

 the social end for the last year, will 

 wind up the season's work by giving 

 an informal dance at Miller's hall, 

 Eighth and State streets, December 8. 



Every florist, all employees and their 

 friends are welcome. E. 0. 



WHEATON, ILL. 



A new place was started here dur- 

 ing the summer of this year. It is 

 owned by Dr. A. F. Mau, and, with 

 Dr. Gilbert's assistance, he is growing 

 excellent sweet peas, violets and pan- 

 sies. The houses are of Moninger con- 

 struction and heated by the Kroeschell 

 hot water system. 



A. T. Peterson 's houses are neat and 

 well kept. He grows miscellaneous 

 stock for the local trade, getting addi- 

 tional stock from the city market, and 

 carries on a thriving business. One 

 greenhouse was added by Mr. Peterson 

 this season. 



At E. T. Wanzer's place everything 

 is in fine condition and his carnations 

 promise a good crop for Christmas. 

 Victory is grown in smaller quantity 



than formerly and most of the space 

 is devoted to White Perfection and En- 

 chantress. About 15,000 mums were 

 grown and about 2,000 stevias are be- 

 ing cut. During the last year about 

 two acres used for outdoor stock was 

 equipped with the Skinner irrigating 

 system, which is well thought of. One 

 acre was planted to peonies and ground 

 was broken for an additional three 

 acres, to be planted to summer flowers 

 next season, making a total of about ten 

 acres in outside flowers. Mr. Wanzer 

 also found it necessary recently to add 

 375 feet of 10-inch tile to take care of 

 the heavy spring rains. He also built 

 a cottage of cement blocks to furnish 

 sleeping quarters for extra men needed 

 in busy seasons, and at present he is 

 adding one more greenhouse, 24x105. 

 All of this work is done by his own 

 men and teams. 



There is a report that another green- 

 house will be built in this neighbor- 

 hood next summer. u. g. 



WYOMISSINO, PA. 



Bertrand H. Farr, proprietor of the 

 Wyomissing Nursery, reports that he 

 has had a splendid business this sea- 

 son, more than double that of last year. 

 The demand for stock has made it 

 necessary to increase his propagating 

 facilities and he has leased the green- 

 houses owned and until recently oper- 

 ated by the G. H. Hoskins Co., in this 

 city. These will be used entirely for 

 the growing and propagating of hardy 

 perennials. 



Both Heck Bros, and Frank D. 

 Shearer have a fine display of chrysan- 

 themums, grown to perfection.
