. Florists' review [microform]. Floriculture. 80 The Florists' Review JcsE 25, 1914. MILWAUKEE, WIS. The Market. Business was exceptionally good last week. The weather has been cool for the last few days and this has helped stock materially. Carnations are short- ening up and their quality is greatly improved. Sales are a great deal bet- ter and the market is being cle9,ned up fairly well every day, at higher prices than formerly. Boses are scarce and it is practically impossible to take care of all the orders for them. White roses, especially, have been in great demand, while the supply has been limited and the quality not as good as it should be. Ther6 are some fine Kus- seFl roses on the market and they seem to be in great demand. In many •cases this rose is taking the place of American Beauty. Sweet peas have shortened up con- siderably and are bringing top-notch prices, although the quality is not extra good. The peony supply seems to be about past, with the exception of a few late varieties. New Wisconsin ferns are now in the market and are bringing from $ to $2 per thou- sand. The drop in price is noticeable, as in the early part of the week, ow- ing to the extreme shortage, ferns broughfabout $4 per thousand. Gradua- tion exercises at the Milwaukee Dow- ner Colleg? and at the Normal School helped to clean up the market. There was a slight frost in this vi- cinity Friday night, June 19, but no damage has been reported. Various Notes. The automobile parade for Ford cars, June 20, was well patronized by some of Milwaukee's leading florists. Mrs. Baumgarten, of the Stephenson build- ing, had her new Ford truck deco- rated with excellent taste for the occa- sion. H. J. S. NEWPORT, E. I. Fred G.
