The Florists^ Review 



DacEHBSB 5, 1912. 



MILWAUKEE. 



The Maxket. 



To say the least, it was a real Thanks- 

 giving for the florists, for business was 

 fine and exceeded that of any previous 

 November holiday. In speaking of con- 

 ditions one person was heard to say 

 that it was more like Christmas than 

 the usual Thanksgiving. The chrysan- 

 themum was the flower most called for, 

 and the supply was equal to the occa- 

 sion. The demand for roses was good 

 and the supply was excellent. The mar- 

 ket never was so short on carnations 

 as it has been for some time. There 

 was ^ nice lot of stevia. Sweet peas, 

 violets and valley also had their inning; 

 in fact, anything in the line of cut 

 flowers simply kept moving. 



Various Notes. 



One of the oldest greenhouse plants, 

 that owned and conducted by Currie 

 Bros., on Twenty-seventh and State 

 streets, has changed hands. C. F. 

 Becker, an out-of-town man, has rented 

 the establishment. This is one of the 

 best known places, having early earned 

 a reputation for neatness and cleanli- 

 ness. 



Currie Bros. Co. reports a fine week; 

 could have sold more carnations and 

 Beauties if they could have obtained 

 them. 



Holton & Hunkel Co. says Thanks- 

 giving was the best yet. Mums are 

 done. 



C. C. PoUworth Co. also says business 

 was fine, but the only thing they ran 

 short on* was carnations. 



Richard Lietz, at Fourteenth street 

 and Fond du Lac avenue, was fortunate 

 in having a good batch of Paper Whites 

 in full bloom the fore part of last week. 



Wm. Zimmermann is about the only 

 one who reported a special call for pot 

 plants for Thanksgiving. 



M. A. McKenney Co. reports an un- 

 usually heavy demand for cut flowers 

 last week, especially Thursday. 



Wm. Currie has been elected vice- 

 president of the newly organized curl- 

 ing club which intends to play at 

 Washington park in the near future.
