MILWATJEEE. 



The Market. 



, For Memorial day, the last flower 

 'holiday of the season, while there was 

 a great quantity of stock used, both 

 pot plants and cut flowers, it did not 

 exceed expectations. About May 20 the 

 sun took a back seat; there was almost 

 continual rain and it was cool. Plant 

 buyers did not venture forth and the 

 wholesalers, not being able to get a 

 definite line on the holiday crop, ceased 

 to take orders and only promised those 

 whose orders were taken to do the best 

 they could. May 25 it was cold and 

 the following day it rained; conse- 

 quently the receipts May 27 were 

 light. Eight here the trouble started; 

 the long-distant shipments had to leave 

 Tuesday or "Wednesday morning early, 

 but the supply was inadequate. May 

 28 and 29 the sun made up for lost time 

 and the consequence was that stock 

 came in heavily, so that by the night of 

 May 29 and all day May 30 there was 

 really stock to spare. All through the 

 siege, the supply of red carnations was 

 far behind the demand. Out-of-town 

 peonies that were promised also were 

 retarded by the inclemency of the 

 weather and came in too late. 



While many plants were sold for Me- 

 morial day, quite a few growers have 

 stock on hand which did not, owing to 

 the cool weather, come into bloom, but 

 as the season still is young there need 

 be no fear of not cleaning them up. 



Several growers again opened stands 

 at the cemetery entrances for Memo- 

 rial day and sold stock below the reg- 

 ular prices. 



Various Notes.

Independence, Kan. — The firm of 

 Kishpaugh & Fatridge has dissolved
