The Florists' Review 



Afbil 20. 1916. 



DETROIT. 



The Market. 



Everyone last week looked forward 

 to a tremendous Easter trade. The 

 market is well supplied with bulbous 

 stock, especially tulips and hyacinths, 

 daffodils not being so plentiful and 

 many of them far advanced. There is, 

 however, a decided shortage in me- 

 dium and low-priced azaleas. Eoses 

 and spiraeas are about equal to the de- 

 mand. Rhododendrons are scarce. 



Various Notes. 



Beard Bros, put into commission this 

 week a large auto truck. The body, 

 which is of ample proportions, was 

 specially built. This firm has made a 

 practice for several years of inviting 

 the public to visit its large green- 

 house establishment on Palm Sunday, 

 and this year more than 2,000 people 

 took advantage of the invitation. 

 Many Easter orders were booked, but 

 Mr. Beard's main idea is just to show 

 the public the heavy work connected 

 with growing flowers and plants. 



Charles H. Plumb was completely sold 

 out Monday, April 17. 



Herman Pautke, for a number of 

 years foreman at J. Breitmeyer's Sons' 

 Mack avenue range, opened a retail 

 store at 1227 Kerchavel avenue last 

 week. 



The electric battery of J. B. IHnser's 

 delivery car became exhausted last 

 Saturday, compelling his son to make 

 his way through Highland Park with- 

 out lights. When our lights are turned 

 4pff our electric bills usually stop, but 

 In this case it cost Mr. Dinser a $25 

 fine. 



The writer has been criticised by the 

 local tradesmen for the lack of Detroit 

 .news in The Keview. I have pleaded 

 guilty and repented, and in order that 

 I may do better I trust every member 

 of the trade in Detroit will make it his 

 business to keep me better posted on 

 any of his contemplated moves, or 

 events of general interest. H. S. 



Chilton, Wis. — After having spent 

 fifteen years on .the road, calling on the 

 florists' trade, W. G. Schmidt settled 

 here and has established a nice busi- 

 ness. In addition to cut flowers and 

 plants he makes a side line of ice cream 

 m season and many who come for one 

 buy both.

"Oladlolug Balbs Irrigated by the Skin-

 We hart practically no Increase In bulb-
