stems. A few asters and gladioli are 

 to be had, but the demand for them is 

 indifferent. 



Varioiis Notes. 



Harold Ivens, of J. F. Sullivan 's, last 

 week went to Canton, O., with a large 

 American flag done in flowers, for the 

 banquet of the directors of the McKin- 

 ley Association. 



The park store of John Breitmeyer's 

 Sons had the order for G. W. Zanger's 

 real estate window. 



Mr. and Mrs. David Scott, of Corfu, 

 N, Y., paid Detroit a visit last week; 

 also O. 'Field, of Grimsby, Ont.

We florists always are more or less 

 dependent upon the rose, but seldom are 

 we entirely dependent on this flower, 

 as is the case at the present writing. 

 There are a few cosmos, a few gladioli 

 and a stray aster now and then, but 

 roses are the only flowers we can de- 

 pend upon. We are thankful that the 

 supply of roses is heavy ^d that the 

 quality of the blooms and foliage is 

 fine. The weather has been ideal, trade 

 is good and the prospects are for a good 

 season. 



Jack Carey will move November 1 

 from his present location at 543 Wood- 

 ward avenue to one block south on the 

 same thoroughfare. 



The Flower Growers' Corporation is 

 handling a fine lot of Ophelia, Sunburst 

 and Bichmond roses. 



September 18 a part of this section 

 of Michigan was visited by a killing 

 frost. E. M. Champe, gladiolus and 

 dahlia specialist, of Walled Lake, 

 Mich., reports that his total stock of 

 over 2,000 dahlias was frozen to the 

 ground. Mr. Champe was just starting 

 to cut some fine blooms. 



B. Schroetcr is having his store re- 

 decorated inside and outside and will 

 be all ready for business with a new 

 coat of paint. 



The Sullivan store surely is beginning 

 to take on the appearance of sc beau- 

 tiful flower store; formerly it was a 

 millinery shop. All the work of paint- 

 ing, carpentering and tile work had to 

 be done while business was going on 

 and this was a serious handicap to both 

 parties. The handsome show windows 

 now are finished, with a white glazed 

 tile floor and a mahogany finish for 

 the back and sides. 



Mr. and Mrs. E. A. Scribner recently 

 visited the establishment of Christ 

 Winterich, at Defiance, 0., and found 

 the range in the pink of condition. 



C. D. Ball, Jr., of Philadelphia, paid 

 us a visit recently. H. S.

The Market. 



• Business has experienced a decided 

 change for the better during the last 

 two weeks. As a result all good stock 

 is cleaned up. Roses still are scarce, 

 but the quality is much improved and 

 the quantity is on the increase. Car- 

 nations are coming more freely now 

 and the quality is improving. Though 

 the stems still are a bit short, the 

 fiowers could pass muster in the middle 

 of the season. I have seen none of 

 the new varieties thus far this season, 

 but I understand that there will be a 

 good sprinkling of most of them later. 

 Our growers believe in "trying all
