Visitors. 



Among last week's visitors was 

 John W. Mclntyre, formerly in the 

 wholesale cut flower commission busi- 

 ness in Philadelphia. 



One of the week's visitors was Mrs. 

 E. H. Mazey, of Minneapolis. 



Members of the trade were visited 

 this week by George F. Crabb, of the 

 Crabb & Hunter Floral Co., Grand 

 Rapids, Mich. 



Eoger Peterson, of J. A. Peterson & 

 Sons, Cincinnati, is in town. Instead 

 of showing his plants in a sample room 

 at the Palmer House as heretofore, he 

 has them on display at the store of 

 the E. C. Amling Co. 



DETROIT. 



The Market. 



Business remains good, with a fine 

 stock of flowers on hand. This market 

 is well supplied with roses of every de- 

 scription. Shawyer, Hoosier Beauty, 

 Ward, Ophelia and White Killarney 

 roses are of exceptionally fine quality. 

 Carnations are in good supply and of 

 good quality. Some of the finest sweet 

 peas ever seen here now are available 

 at the commission houses. Valley, for- 

 get-me-nots, daisies and snapdragons 

 are in good supply. Tulips and narcis- 

 si, in fact, all bulbous flowers, are quite 

 plentiful, possibly excepting hyacinths. 



Various Notes. 



The Flower Growers' Corporation has 

 opened a more spacious store at 35 John 

 E. street. The salesroom now is on the 

 ground floor. This concern is the head- 

 quarters in Detroit for Shawyer roses 

 and cattleyas. 



Charles Plumb has a fine stock of 

 plants for Easter, particularly roses and 

 spiraeas, and his lilies are in fine shape. 

 Mr. and Mrs. Robert Plumb have been 

 in the east for two weeks. 



Robert Jean is driving about in a 

 handsome automobile, a recent acquisi- 

 tion. 



Strange occurrences never cease in 

 this city. B. Schroeter nearly collapsed 

 last week when, after giving a woman 

 some information regarding the care of 

 plants, he was asked what his charge 

 for the information was. H. S. 



Red Oak, la. — The 9-year-old son of 

 C. A. Berg recently was drowned at 

 Eagle Lake, Fla., where he and his 

 mother were vacationing.

Easter Ribbons 



Buy them from the manufacturer and at the lowest market prices. 



Pine Tree Ribbons stand away out ahead of other ribbons— the finish, 

 weave and silk stamp them ribbons of character. Prices are no higher 

 than common, ordinary ribbons. 



Do you know any reason why you should not have the best ribbons for 

 Easter? The best line is the Pine Tree Line.
