The Florists^ Review 



JDLY 25, 1912. 



MILWAUKEE, WIS. 



The Market. 



Business continued good last week, 

 considering the time of the year; the 

 supply of roses was plentiful and sold 

 well, but carnations are getting poorer 

 from day to day, and the demand for 

 that line is not any too brisk. The 

 market has been well supplied with 

 Easter lilies thus far. The first outdoor 

 asters have made their appearance, but 

 the stems were rather short. Good 

 gaillardias and Shasta daisies find a 

 ready sale. 



Club Picnic. 



The annual basket picnic of the Mil- 

 waukee Florists' Club was held July 21 

 at Stabelf eldt 's grove, on the shores of 

 Lake Michigan. As it rained the best 

 part of the day previous, and was 

 threatening up to Sunday noon, the at- 

 tendance was not as large as one would 

 have desired. Nevertheless, those pres- 

 ent participated in the games and made 

 merry till dusk. 



Prizes were awarded as follows: 



Nail driving contest for ladies— Mrs. F. Hol- 

 ton, first; Miss Haasch, second. 



Nail driving contest for men — H. V. Hunkel, 

 first; Roy Currie, second. 



Peanut race for ladles — Mrs. Lenz, first; Miss 

 Haascb, second. 



Potato race for ladies — Miss G. Baumgarten, 

 first; Mrs. Rector, second. 



100-yard dash for men — H. Baumgarten, first; 

 Roy Currie, second. 



Various Notes. 



Mr. and Mrs. Allie Zech, of Chicago, 

 en route to Sturgeon Bay, Wis., to 

 spend their vacation, stopped oflf at our 

 city Sunday noon and were the guests 

 of Mr. and Mrs. Gust Eusch till Tues- 

 day afternoon. 



Walter Helton, of the Helton & Hun- 

 kel force, who has been on the sick list 

 for some time, reported for duty last 

 Monday. 



Fred C. Kesting, of West Bend, Wis., 

 took a look around here in his auto 

 Sunday, July 21. 



Mr. Holm, of Holm & Olson, St. Paul, 

 Minn., called on the trade the early 

 part of last week and was the guest of 

 Fred Helton. 



Walter Halliday, of the C. C. Poll- 

 worth Co., returned from a two weeks' 

 rest at Lake Fire July 21. He looked 

 as though it did him a great deal of 

 good. 



At J. M. Fox & Son's store they re- 

 port business last week as satisfactory. 

 Archie McDonald, of that • firm, will 

 leave next week for a prolot^ged vaca- 

 tion, which he intends to spend at his 

 Ohio home. 



The replanting of carnations is well 

 under way at Nic Zweifel's plant at 

 North Milwaukee. E. O.
