DETROIT. 



The Market. 



This market is well supplied with 

 good stock of every kind, Beauties per- 

 haps being the only exception. Boses 

 are in good supply and their quality 

 is good. Carnations never were better 

 than now and bulbous stock of every 

 kind ia of good quality. Business has 

 been such that the market remains well 

 cleaned up of good stock. There are, 

 of course, always some daffodils and 

 tulips to spare, but this is nothing unus- 

 ual. 



Various Notes. 



B. Schroeter is showing some of the 

 finest azaleas ever seen here, and among 

 the best are plants kept over from last 

 year. 



John B. Dinser, of Highland Park, is 

 sending in two or three loads of bulb- 

 ous plants every day. His stock is in 

 splendid condition. 



Charles H. Plumb, our other plant 

 specialist, has found it necessary to add 

 another large delivery car to his equip- 

 ment. H. S. 



TiT.T.TS, MASS. 



The new carnation Alice, sent out by 

 Peter Fisher last year, fills a good 

 deal of the bench space here. It has 

 made good nearly everywhere and the 

 demands tor cuttings are again heavy. 

 This is easily the freest-blooming car- 

 nation in cultivation, as any grower 

 can prove by planting it alongside 

 other standard sorts. Benora and 

 Beacon, both of which originated here, 

 are the favorites in their color. Match- 

 less, White Wonder and White En- 

 chantress are grown for white. At 

 this season White Enchantress bursts 

 considerably. Mr. Fisher says this can, 

 be remedied by growing it in solid 

 beds in lieu of raised benches. Match- 

 less blooms sparsely compared with 

 White Wonder. 



Pink Sensation and Good Cheer are 

 both under trial. Mr. Fisher likes the 

 latter and, with careful selection of 

 stock, it should give a better account 

 of itself a year hence. Flaked Beauty 

 fills the greater proportion of one 

 bench. To anyone wanting a beautiful 

 flaked carnation, this variety should 

 appeal. For a fancy variety it blooms 

 with great freedom. There were 

 batches of fine seedlings from which 

 may come worthy successors to 

 Lawson, Enchantress, Beacon, Benora, 

 Alice and other Ellis creations. Gor- 

 geous, sent out as a strictly fancy va- 

 riety, will not be retained another sea- 

 son, as its color does not hold true.
