The Florists' Review 



Mav 1, 1913. 



MILWAUKEE. 



The Market. 



On the whole business last week as- 

 sumed a steady gait; the first part of 

 the week the weather was warm, which 

 had a tendency to rush on the crops, 

 while it finished the violets and soft- 

 ened the sweet peas. As the week 

 drew to a close and the weather cooled 

 down, stock in all lines shortened up 

 just enough to keep prices satisfactory. 

 Bulbous stock hung fire, while the sup- 

 ply of lilies, especially callas, is 

 ahead of the demand at times. This 

 week opened well and Monday night 

 found the coolers pretty clean. 



Various Notes. 



The Holton & Hunkel Co. reports 

 booking quite satisfactory orders for 

 Memorial day. 



The Kummer Floral Co. is the name 

 of the new concern which opened a 

 flower stand, with conservatory in con- 

 nection, on Hopkins road, just across 

 from the entrance to Union cemetery. 



The Currie Bros. Co. is the first in 

 the trade to use display card advertise- 

 , ments in the local street cars. 



Gust Kusch & Co. report business 

 as keeping up well, with a good Moth- 

 ers' day in sight. 



Nick Zweifel, of North Milwaukee, 

 is always one of the first to rush his 

 •carnation stock into the field. This 

 year he started April 22. 



May 3 is tag day, and flowers will 

 be used. Orders for 25,000 cut flowers 

 have been given. 



Although it has orders galore, the 

 A. F. Kellner Co. finds it diflScult to 

 get help. 



Adam Zender, of; Chicago, was the 

 guest of Fred Holton for a few days 

 last week. Other visitors: P. L. Mc- 

 Kee, of Moninger's, Chicago; A. 

 Butcher, of Waukesha, Wis., and Mrs. 

 Miller, of Racine. E. O. 



The Holton & Hunkel Co., at its 

 Brown Deer plant, will at once proceed 

 with the erection of a new range of 

 six houses, each 28x400. A meeting 

 of the directors of the company was 

 held April 25, at which the contract 

 was awarded to the John C. Moninger 

 Co., Chicago. The houses are to be 

 similar to the b^g new houses of Bas- 

 flett & Washburn, at Greggs Station, 

 111., and it is planned to have them 

 ready for planting to roses and carna- 

 tions for next season's supply.
