FLOWER MARKET REPORTS. 



(Continued /rout page tis) 



The market is very 

 NEW YORK quiet. Roses are in 



lighter supply with 

 the exception of Beauties, which are 

 very plentiful on some days and prices 

 fluctuate considerably. Carnation ship- 

 ments are light. The price of lilies 

 has advanced In consequence of a re- 

 duced cut. There are plenty of lily of 

 the valley, orchids and gardenias for 

 the demand. Asters are plentiful bui 

 not of very good quality. The usual 

 summer crop of gladioli is coming in 

 and prices rule low. The reiiuirements 

 of the best stores are easily satisfied, 

 for they carry little stock. 



Toledo, O. — A severe hail storm on 

 July 15 did serious damage to gar- 

 dens and glass. Ernest Glauser, Chas.

DETROIT NOTES. 



Chas. H. Plumb's new range of 

 houses will almost double his capacity. 



Robert Watson is erecting a new 

 office and refrigerator at his place on 

 Townsend avenue. 



John Breitmeyer's Sons' two n'ew 

 houses, each 50 x 250, have been 

 planted with Beauties. 



A good deal of convention talk is 

 being heard. Undoubtedly a large con- 

 tingent from this city will appear 

 there. 



J. F. Sullivan liad a narrow es- 

 cupe from being burned out. Fire 

 started Sunaay afternoon in tho 

 third story of the building in which 

 his store is located. Fortunately, only 

 the two upper stories were gutted and 

 Sullivan's damage was very slight, 

 mostly from water. 



DETROIT FLORIST CLUB. 



M. Bloy gave a very interesting talk 

 at the last meeting describing his first 

 year's experience among us. As he 

 was guilty of the crime of holding a 

 5c. plant sale at his establishment he 

 was closely interrogated on that score. 

 The discussion which followed estab- 

 lished the interesting tact that a cheap- 

 plant sale haa its good purpose in a 

 large city. It may cause some little 

 annoyance to snow the customer the 

 difference, but there are many among 

 us who are anxious to plant flowers 

 but cannot afford the big price. On 

 the other hand, those who- buy cheap' 

 plants solely because they are penuri- 

 ous will have a lesson taught them 

 which will benefit the trade. 



FRANK DANZER.
