The Flor. icview 



May 8, 1918. 



MILWAUKEE. 



The Market. ^ . 



Weather conditions the last week 

 resembled those of midsummer and in 

 turn rushed crops along in good shape, 

 but all in all business was good. The 

 demand for red carnations the last 

 fortnight has been ahead of the supply. 

 With this warm spell folks get anxious 

 and the call for bedding stock, al- 

 though it is still a little early in this 

 locality to plant out soft-wooded stock, 

 is more of a nuisance than a benefit. 

 Local carnation specialists were busy 

 as bees rushing their stock into the 

 field last week. A warm rain May 5 

 was welcome. 



Club Meeting. 



The Florists' Club has not accom- 

 plished a great deal for some time 

 past and the time has come when it 

 can help materially in the matter of 

 accommodations and premium list for 

 the annual state fair. In the past, con- 

 ditions were such that the florists in 

 general took no interest in the fair at 

 all, leaving it to a few who made it 

 their business to be there regularly, re- 

 sulting in a rather one-sided affair. 

 With a comparatively new manage- 

 ment of the State Board of Agricul- 

 ture and the aid of F. Cranefield, of 

 Madison, secretary of the Wisconsin 

 State Horticultural Society, new life 

 has entered into the project. ' ' Mr. 

 Cranefield called recently on the club's 

 treasurer, James Livingstone, to help 

 revise the premium list on all indoor 

 floricultural exhibita. The revised list 

 was taken up at the last club meeting 

 and, with a few exceptions, it was ap- 

 proved. As the list now reads the in- 

 ducements for professional growers 

 should and undoubtedly will bring 

 out many good exhibits. In view of 

 this fact some members thought, judg- 

 ing by arrangements made in past 

 years, there would not be enough room 

 to display exhibits to full advantage. 

 Finally it was voted to send a com- 

 mittee of three to Madison to confer 

 with Mr. Cranefield and see what can 

 be accomplished to better conditions. 



President Leidiger appointed James 

 Livingstone, C. C. PoUworth and H. 

 V. Hunkel to serve on this committee. 

 While little may be accomplished in 

 aiding this year's fair, the present in- 

 terest will help to further the cause 

 in the future. 



The club voted to hold the annual 

 picnic this summer and the entertain- 

 ment committee, consisting of Walter 

 Halliday, Nic Zweifel and Gust Eusch, 

 with the latter as chairman, was di- 

 rected to proceed with the prelimi- 

 naries.
