Of Interest to Retail 

 Florists 



The heavy Christmas 

 DETROIT trade, as presaged by the 



great business done at 

 Thanksgiving, has been experienced 

 and in fact many were caught short, 

 either in supi)lies or in means of 

 properly handling the trade. It is a 

 little early yet to be definite in detail, 

 but a general observation indicates 

 that all branches, cut flowers, plants 

 and baskets, were equally patronized. 

 Very noticeable was the increased de- 

 mand for high grade roses, which a 

 year ago received a cold reception. 

 The Michigan Cut Flower Exchange 

 had a good supply of really very fine 

 Rhea Reid, Richmond, La Detroit and 

 Killarney roses which was greatly ap- 

 preciated. Prices in general were 

 good, roses bringing from 2.00 to $S.0O, 

 with American Beauty $6.00 to flS.OO 

 per dozen. Carnations $1.50 to $2.00, 

 fancy and red $2.00 to $3.00 per doz. 

 Poinsettia, majority $6.00, a few $9.00

per doz. Violets sold well at $4.0o, 

 few at $5.00 per 100. All other flowers 

 from gardenias and orchids down sold 

 well at good prices. Great difficulty 

 was experienced with express com- 

 panies; they were completely swamped 

 and flowers whicli should have reached 

 the stores at 9 a. m. did not get there 

 until 5 p. m., causing all kinds of dis- 

 appointment. The Michigan Cut Flower 

 E.Kchange had men stationed at the 

 depots to assist in picking out flower 

 shipments from among carloads of 

 other freight. 



Individual reports from local promi- 

 nent florists are very satisfactory. 



Breitmeyers: The demand made on 

 us taxed our strength and resources 

 to the utmost. Orders were placed 

 somewhat earlier than usual. Plants 

 and baskets sold very well and high 

 grade roses were a close second. All 

 in all, it was the best Christmas we 

 ever had. 



Sullivan: It is safe to say that this 

 was the best Christmas Detroit flor- 

 ists ever had. One may justly call it 

 a plant trade Christmas, although cut 

 flower trade started very briskly Fri- 

 day afternoon. A good many pickled
