MILWAUKEE. 



The Market. 



The supply of stock contiinied 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 enough 

 to clean up most of the time. 



Various Notes. 



Last week was style we(d< witii ail 

 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 wecdv this year, making it unpleas- 

 ant and not so profitable. 



(Just I'ohl is beginning to cut a crop 

 of sweet jieas, Avliich are of fine (piality 

 and find leady sale. 



While driving down Wisconsin street 

 last Saturday morning the hoof of \Vm.

 track and so badly iMJur(>d that it re 

 quired an ambulance to convey the 

 horse to a hosiiital. Mr. Kschrich is lo 

 catcd in Xortli Milwaukee, where he 

 grows jilants and bulbs.

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

 weather jiermits, erect two ;;u() foot 

 houses for carnations. The change will 

 take efl'ect April 1. 



('has. Zepiiick, who is located out ou 

 (Jhicago avenue, has a line croj) of for 

 get-me-nols on ajid only hojies flic 

 weather will continue cool, so he can 

 hold them for the l-lastcr tr.'nic. 



The ('. ('. I'ollworth Co. rejiorts .a 

 busy week; lots of stO(dv coming in and 

 moving out. At the greenhouses all 

 hands are rushed packing and shipping- 

 pot jihints for the Kaster trade. 



At the JJrown Deer jdant of the Ilol

The Carrie Bros. Co. reports business
