The Market. 



Taking it all around, business last 

 week was really good. Monday there 

 was more than enough stock on hand to 

 supply all demands; after that weather 

 conditions were such that the supply 

 gradually decreased until Thursday, on 

 which day stock was what one would 

 call scarce. Then came Friday, always 

 a good day, and Saturday the Society 

 for the Care of the Sick, a charitable 

 ladies ' aid society, conducted a tag day, 

 for which they used about 50,000 cut 

 flowers; roses, carnations, all kinds of 

 bulbous stock, pansies, in fact anything 

 in cut flowers which put in an appear- 

 ance was used. "While it was not a 

 flower day for the retailers, it certainly 

 cleaned up a lot of stock which would 

 not have been sold otherwise. 



Various Notes. 



Nic Zweifel, of North Milwaukee, 

 remarked May 2 that he had not yet 

 begun to move his young carnations, 

 while in former years he had at least 

 half of them out at that date. 



Vegetation in this locality is away 

 behind time. In only the most favor- 

 able places can one see outdoor tulips 

 in bloom. 



At the regular monthly meeting of 

 the Florists' Club, May 2, the most in- 

 teresting topic was "The Depreciation 

 on Greenhouses," which was one of the 

 many questions to be answered on the 

 income tax sheet. Some thought it 

 amounted to fifteen per cent, not in- 

 cluding a repair account; others ven- 

 tured to give from five to eight per 

 cent plus a repair account as their basis 

 of figuring. It was agreed to take up 

 this matter more thoroughly at some 

 later meeting, 



Mrs. August F. Kellner returned from 

 the Waukesha baths last week, where 

 she had sought relief from rheumatism, 

 and claims to be greatly benefited. 



Amid a great bower of flowers, Capt. 

 E. G. Crosby, the only Milwaukeean 

 who lost his life in the Titanic catas- 

 trophe, was laid to rest in Forest Home 

 cemetery May 6. 



To judge from reports of those who 

 do landscape gardening, most of the 

 perennials failed to pull through the 

 severe winter just past. 



The C. C. PoUworth Co. claims to 

 have cleaned up stock completely lasl 

 Thursday for the tag day. 



The Holton & Hunkel Co. now oper- 

 ates a Eambler auto truck between the 

 Humboldt avenue and Brown Deer 

 greenhouses. 



Gust Kusch & Co. say that business 

 was fine indeed last week. 



The Fox Point Floral Co. is, figura- 

 tively speaking, crowded to the roof 

 with bedding stock and the various an- 

 nuals, all of it in first-class shape. 



At the W. E. Dallwig store, ' ' the man 

 behind the gun" is busy day and night 

 trying to keep up with orders. 



Currie Bros. Co. and Hunkel 's Seed 

 Store claim that they have more orders 

 than they can handle conveniently, but 

 say they make hay while the sun shines. 



Jim Matthewson, of Sheboygan, "Wis., 

 was a visitor recently. E. 0. 



The Milwaukee Florists' Club has 

 voted not to give a flower show this 

 year. The project was considered at a 

 "meeting of the club at the Blatz May 2. 

 The affair was a financial loss last year.
