The Weekly Florists' Review. 



March 28, 1012. 



MILWAXrEEK 



The Market. 



The supply of stock continued to be 

 abundant all last week, but with the 

 exception of Wednesday and Thursday, 

 during which time we were treated to 

 a fine blizzard, the demand was enpugh 

 to clean up most of the time. 



Various Notes. 



Last week was style week with all 

 the large dry goods and department 

 stores and from their standpoint it was 

 a success; but it kept the florists guess- 

 ing, for in former years the spring open- 

 ings have covered a period of three 

 weeks or so. It was all crowded into 

 one week this year, making it unpleas- 

 ant and not so profitable. 



Gust Pohl is beginning to cut a crop 

 of sweet peas, which are of fine quality 

 and find ready sale. 



While driving down Wisconsin street 

 last Saturday morning the hoof of Wm. 

 Eschrich's horse was caught in the car 

 track and so badly injured that it re- 

 quired an ambulance to convey the 

 horse to a hospital. Mr. Eschrich is lo- 

 cated in North Milwaukee, where he 

 grows plants and bulbs. 



The Mueller & Schroeder Co. has mu- 

 tually agreed to dissolve partnership. 

 Mr. Schroeder, who resides in St. Louis, 

 Mo., and was not active, has taken 

 over the interests of F. W. Mueller. 

 Mr. Mueller and his son, Gustav, have 

 bought twenty acres of land at Brown 

 Deer, Wis., where they will, as soon as 

 weather permits, erect two 300-foot 

 houses for carnations. The change will 

 take effect April 1. 



Chas. Zepnick, wto is located out on 

 Chicago avenue, has a fine crop of for- 

 get-me-nots on and only hopes the 

 weather will continue cool, so he can 

 hold them for the Easter trade. 



The C. C. PoUworth Co. reports a 

 busy week; lots of stock coming in and 

 moving out. At the greenhouses all 

 hands are rushed packing and shipping 

 pot plants for the Easter trade. 



At the Brown Deer plant of the Hel- 

 ton & Hunkel Co. they are cutting 

 large quantities of American Beauties 

 of extra fine quality. The Easter plants 

 at the Humboldt avenue houses are all 

 in fine shape and will clean up in a 

 hurry, as many advance orders are on 

 file. 



While they have nothing new to re- 

 port at the store of the G. Rusch Co., 

 they say that last week was a hummer; 

 taking it all around they moved a pile 

 of stock. 



The Currie Bros. Co. reports business 

 slack the fore part of last week, but so 

 brisk the latter half that the average 

 is quite satisfactory. 



A. F. Kellner had all his decorative 

 plants out last week for the spring 

 openings and had to refuse many orders 

 which could have been taken care of 

 had the custom of former years been 

 followed. 



The Edlefsen-Leidiger Co. also got 

 their share of the opening rush last 

 week and are glad it's all over. 



John Zech, who has been recuperat- 

 ing in a local sanatorium, has returned 

 to Chicago. 



Miss Louise Zimmermann and Walter 

 Halliday are on the sick list.
