. Florists' review [microform]. Floriculture. 100 The Florists* RcvicMsr Pebruaey 10, 1916. MILWAUKEE. The Market. The weather now is nearly ideal for Avinter and the crops are becoming bet- ter every day. The conditions in gen- eral have improved to a great extent and things are assuming a more normal trend. Roses are in fine shape and the sup- ply seems just a little heavier than it lias been. Shorter grades still are scarce owing to the heavy demand and the long fancy stock is cleaning up each day. Wards, in particular, are scarce and it is hard to distribute the cut equally or nearly so. Carnations are more plentiful and the stock is showing better quality. Prices have dropped somewhat and the downward tendency is still with ua. There is no surplus, however, but the shortage is not acute by any means. Stevia is entirely out of the market and this helps the sale of greens to a great extent. Valley still is quite scarce and the probabilities are that it will remain so for some time. The quality, while passably good, is noth- ing extra. Tulips, daffodils, freesias, etc., are arriving in quantity and are in fine shape. The market is cleaning up every day and the prices are fair for this year and good compared with those of last year. Orchids are about equal to the demand and are moving readily. The advance orders for St. Valentine's day are coming in and it would seem that this year's Valentine's day will more than hold its own with that day of last year or the year pre- vious. H. J. S.

Bulbous stock has had a fine market and hyacinths are beginning to arrive. There has been a great demand for funeral work. Indications point to a large Valen- tine's business and the florists are mak- ing ample preparations. Various Notes. H. F. A. Lange's Valentine windows are a work of art and his line of nov- elties for the day is good. Mr. Lange has some
