MILWAUKEE. 



The Market. 



Conditions all around last week were 

 a great improvement over those of the 

 preceding week. With plenty of sun 

 throughout the week, the supply was 

 greatly increased and the demand kept 

 pace, thus keeping the entire market m 

 a wholesome condition. 



Various Notes. 



The bowling tournament which was 

 to have taken place between the Flo- 

 rists' Bowling League and the Odonahas 

 March 1 was postponed indefinitely. 

 Great interest by local florists is de- 

 veloping since the news spread that 

 March 19 a delegation of Chicago flo- 

 rists will come to challenge the Mil- 

 waukee florists in a bowling match. 

 Gust. Kusch, captain of the local 

 bowlers, no doubt will leave no stone 

 unturned to make their stay a most 

 enjoyable one. 



Eichard Leitz is contemplating an 

 addition to his store at Fourteenth and 

 Walnut streets, in the form of a con- 

 servatory. E. O. 



THE BOSKOOP EXHIBITION. 



The preparations for the exhibition 

 of forced shrubs and perennials, to be 

 held in Boskoop, Holland, in April of 

 this year, are well advanced s^nd ap- 

 pear to be even more thorough and 

 comprehensive than at first expected 

 The press committee, of which C. H. 

 Claassen is president and C. P. Moer- 

 lands, secretary, has sent the following 

 report of recent progress: 



"The buildings for the exhibition 

 are almost finished. They will be 

 heated free of charge by the Dutch 

 Central Heating Co., of Amsterdam, 

 and will be illuminated in the evening 

 by electric light, installed by the firm 

 of Strous, of Dordrecht. In the exhibi- 

 tion grounds there will be a postoffice 

 and telegraph office, and every hour 

 a passenger boat will run between 

 Boskoop and Gouda, the nearest rail- 

 way station. 



"The honorary committee consists of 

 forty members. The number of exhib- 

 its promised amounts to 500, the num- 

 ber of novelties to more than a hun- 

 dred, and that of little known plants 

 to sixty. All these facts show that the 

 exhibition will in every way surpass 

 expectations."
