The Florists*' Review ^^^^s^^ lo. wie. 



DETROIT. 



The Market. 



Business has kept up well, consider- 

 ing the intense heat of the last five 

 ■weeks, or, to be more explicit, since 

 July 11. We had one shower, but that 

 was not of much account. All stock on 

 the market has suffered so severely 

 from the heat that in many instances 

 it is useless. The roses available are 

 small and open too quickly. 



The ice situation has become quite 

 serious, the supply being so limited 

 that hospitals are taken care of first. 

 This means that at times the florists' 

 iceboxes are empty of ice, and, natu- 

 rally, of stock also. 



Varioixs Notes. 



The McHugh Floral Co., which has 

 been located at 118 Michigan avenue 

 for the last sixteen years, recently sold 

 the remaining nine months of its lease 

 at the old place and opened a modern 

 store at 105 Grand Eiver avenue. 



Fred Breitmeyer, of Mount Clemens, 

 is the proud possessor of a pink sport 

 of Ophelia. Of course, Ophelia is a 

 pink rose, but this sport is a beauti- 

 ful pink, of about the shade of the 

 Winsor carnation, or a little deeper. 

 Mr. Breitmeyer had a number of 

 blooms of this sport at the Michigan 

 Cut Flower Exchange August 5. The 

 flowers were all of uniform color, with 

 fine foliage, and apparently identical 

 with Ophelia, except in color. 



Eobert Eahaley and family left their 

 summer home in Canada, August 5, for 

 an extended tour through Canada and 

 the east. 



Charles H. Plumb has completed the 

 reerection of his garage, making it 

 large enough to accommodate four cars. 

 The old range of houses has been care- 

 fully gone over, new gutters installed 

 and repairs made where required. Mr. 

 Plumb is building a pretty bungalow 

 at Lake St. Clair, about forty miles 

 from Detroit. H. S. 



St. Peter, Minn. — The greenhouses 

 operated by Emil Samuelson during the 

 last two years have been sold to A. J. 

 Loegering, of New Ulm, who will take 

 possession September 1. The deal in- 

 cludes twenty-eight acres of land, on 

 which Mr. Loegering expects to grow 

 nursery stock. 



Sioux Falls, S. D. — Miss Ha/.el Kent, 

 who spent a number of years in the 

 landscape department of Holm & Olson, 

 St. Paul, and more recently associated 

 with the Gurney Seed & Nursery Co., 

 has joined the forces of the M. M. 

 Strong Floral Co. and will have charge 

 of landscape work.

 eave Jacobs* greenhouses of an 

 elaborate and decorative design are 

 "now upder construction on the estate 

 of J. Insley Blair, at Tuxedo Park, 

 New York. 



The specifications by Carrere <& 

 Hastings, the architects, called for 

 the very best and most modern 

 eauipment. The plant, which is so 

 designed that almost any flower or 

 plant can be grown, will be heated 

 throughout by hot water and steam 

 with vapor system. It will have 

 both hot and cold water irrigation; 

 also a liauid fertilizer system. 



Jacobs' construction, material, 

 workmanship, responsibility and 

 price, were the main factors in our 

 securing the contract-
