The Florists' Review 



August 31. 1916. 



DETBOIT, MICH. 



The Market. 



Last week found stock still on the 

 short side of the market. Roses now 

 are fairly good, but there is not enough 

 of the medium and long- stemmed 

 stock. Those that arrive clear in a 

 short while. Short roses are more plen- 

 tifulj^ and, having good buds, are espe- 

 cially suitable for corsages. Ophelia 

 and Eeid roses predominate. Beauties 

 are scarce, the few to be had arriving 

 from Chicago. Valley clears well and 

 is held at $6. Lilies are not plentiful 

 and some are coming from New York 

 state. Japanese lilies also are in rather 

 inadequate supply. Asters and gladioli 

 are sufficient for all demands, though 

 gladioli are inclined to drag. 



Various Notes. 



E. A. Fetters has sold his lease at 

 Woodward and Clifford streets and is 

 going to move to the Church building 

 at Grand Circus park. This will make 

 two stores on the circle, as one of 

 John Breitmeyer's Sons' stores also 

 faces the park. J. F. Sullivan's new 

 location will only be a few doors from 

 the park, on Woodward avenue. 



Albert Winkler, of John Breitmeyer's 

 Sons, has returned from his vacation, 

 which included a trip to New Tork, 

 Pittsburgh and Baltimore. Frank Dan- 

 zer, of the same concern, is on his vaca- 

 tion. H. T.

The Market. 



The week opened with rain and cooler 

 weather, the rain being badly needed, 

 but it is likely that both were too late 

 to do the asters and gladioli much good. 

 Asters have about disappeared from 

 the market, at least those that are of 

 any account, and gladioli are showing 

 the effects of the continued dry spell. 

 Most of them are small and not up to 

 the standard. The good stock brings 

 fair prices, but some of the poor stock 

 has no value whatever. 



Roses are arriving more satisfactor- 

 ily each day, including some good 

 White Killarney, Killarney, Maryland, 

 Mock and Russell. Quantities of small 

 stock are to be had. There are plenty 

 of lilies and enough Beauties to satisfy 

 all demands; in fact, there is enough 

 good stock, leaving out valley, which 

 has disappeared from this market, to 

 take care of any business there is, and 

 that was not bad last week. 



Most of the retailers have enough fu- 

 neral work to keep them in good humor. 

 I have not heard any complaints, as 

 all say that July and August business 

 has been better this year than that of 

 the same months of any other year. 



The wholesalers are having an easy 

 time of it. There is just about enough 

 stock to take care of all orders, with a 

 clean-up every day and not too much 

 work about it. The growers have near- 

 ly completed their benchings and soon 

 will be ready to clean up their work 

 for fall business. Labor has been diffi- 

 cult t* obtain, some of the growers hav- 

 ing had to resort to the traveling class 

 of workers, those whg stay only a day 

 or two and then pass on to make room 

 for more of like caliber. Conditions in 

 these respects are far from satisfactory 

 and everyone has to do the best he can.
