DETROIT. 



Death of John Breitmeycr. 



Mr. John Breitmeyer. one of the vet- 

 eran florists of this city, died at his 

 home in Mt. Clemen.s on Sunday morn- 

 ing, the 22nd. He was pre-eminent'.y 

 a self-made man, coming to this coun- 

 try as an emigrant. Poor but desirous 

 of bettering himself, he succeeded in 

 accumulating a competency and built 

 up a business as a florist equaled by 

 none in the state. His life was a sim- 

 ple one, with no ostentation, and his 

 chief delight was to meet a few 

 friends and chat. His was an open, 

 sunny nature and his friends were 

 many, for none knew him but to love 

 him. The interment took place at Mt. 

 Clemens on the 24th, the Detroit Flor- 

 ists' Club attending the funeral in a 

 body, some fifty in number. Mr. Breit- 

 meyer was only 65 years of age and the 

 cause of his death was pneumonia.

GRAND RAPIDS, MICH. 



The weather since Easter has bean 

 warm and pleasant, with cool nights. 

 Trade still keeps up and stock is just 

 as scarce as before Easter, espgcially 

 carnations. A run of funeral work has 

 helped to get rid of ajy surplus that 

 might have accumulated. Roses are |1 

 to $1.50 per doz.; carnations, 35 to 50 

 cents; lilies, fl.50 per doz. Everyone 

 is getting their geraniums into 43; 

 spreading them out and getting ready 

 for a Decoration Day record-breaking 

 trade. G. F. C. 



SYRACUSE, N. Y. 



Easter sales showed an increase 

 over former years and prices averaged 

 better. Flowering plants of all kinds 

 were in good demand. Azaleas sold 

 exceptionally well. Lilies were not 

 as much in demand as formerly. 



In cut flowers carnations took the 

 lead with prices ranging from 50 cents 

 to $1.50 per dozen. Roses took second 

 place, ranging in price from $2.00 to 

 $3.00 per dozen. Violets third, at $2.00 

 per 100. Bulbous stuff last. M.
