The Florists' Review 



^^ 



April 27, 1916. 



DETROIT. 



Easter trade exceeded all expectations 

 and, had the weather been more favor- 

 able, business would have been still bet- 

 ter. The weather was mild, but there 

 were light showers nearly every day 

 and almost a steady rain on Saturday. 

 Sunday was dreary and damp, with 

 clouds threatening rain all day. 



The stock of cut flowers was well 

 equal to the demand, except valley and 

 good sweet peas. Sunday morning found 

 some of the retailers offering retail 

 prices for valley, in order to fill all 

 orders, while sweet peas also were at a 

 premium. The market was well sup- 

 plied with tulips, but daffodils were 

 scarce. Carnations were in good sup- 

 ply and every one was sold. The quality 

 was fine. 



In the line of plants there was a 

 scarcity of small and medium-sized 

 azaleas; large ones were plentiful. 

 Choice hydrangeas and spiraeas also 

 were scarce. Plenty of good lilies were 

 to be had, although the sale was heavy. 

 Rose plants were not any too plentiful 

 during the week at the greenhouses, 

 although some of the stores had an 

 oversupply. Bulb pans were in big 

 demand; every available plant, some 

 of them not very choice, was bought 

 by Friday, and evidently all were 

 cleaned up at the retailers' places.

Nearly 4,000 people attended the 

 fourth annual exhibition of floral ar- 

 rangements staged in the Floricultural 

 building at the University of Illinois, 

 April 16. There were on exhibition 

 many types of corsage bouquets made 

 of various flowers. Wedding bouquets 

 also were in evidence, including every- 

 thing from the bride's bouquet to the 

 flower girl's basket. The table decora- 

 tions illustrated the use of different 

 types of flowers. Besides this, there 

 were numerous baskets, funeral designs 

 and sprays, box and vase arrangements, 

 and feature bouquets. 



This show is the work of students in 

 Horticulture 32, a course in floral dec- 

 oration required of all floricultural stu- 

 dents. It is merely to give them an 

 idea of what work would be in a flo- 

 rist's establishment during a rush sea- 

 son. The students were assisted by 

 Miss Emily Dorner, of La Fayette, Ind.
