DETROIT. 



The Market. 



The cold weather that hit Detroit last 

 week resulted in a few frozen shipments. 

 Business has been fair and stock more 

 plentiful. Carnations, sweet peas and 

 bulbous stock, although of fine quality, 

 are inclined to drag. Roses clear read- 

 ily. These are of fine quality but high 

 in price. Valley is scarce and the de- 

 mand for it is light. Violets are plen- 

 tiful, but the quality is only fair. Hya- 

 cinths, tulips and other bulbous plants 

 are selling well. 



Various Notes. 



Among those from Detroit who at- 

 tended the carnation show at Indian- 

 apolis were E. A. Fetters, Robert 

 Rahaley, Thomas Browne, Albert 

 Pochelon and Albert Stahelin. 



Harold Grens has gone to Chicago for 

 a few days to look over the market. He 

 accompanied J. F. Sullivan, of this city. 



Bowling Scores. 



The Detroit Bowling Club met Febru- 

 ary 1. The following scores were made:

Streit 181 158 164 Stock 165 155 206 



The Bisons won two out of three, 

 thereby again gaining first place.

CLEVELAND. 



Market conditions remain unchanged. 

 Bulbous stock is plentiful and carna- 

 tions and roses arc in heavy crop. Val- 

 ley and lilies are in supply sufficient for 

 all demands. 



The Florists' Club meeting February 

 5 was well attended, more than fifty 

 members being present to hear a paper 

 on chrysanthemums by Elmer D. Smith, 

 of Adrian, Mich. E. G. HiU, of Rich- 

 mond, Ind., will address the club on 

 roses at the March meeting. 



The Detroit bowlers journeyed to our 

 fair city February 7 and competed with 

 local stars for the silver trophy offered 

 by the Michigan Cut Flower Exchange. 

 Cleveland had the edge, having by a 

 previous engagement won three games 

 to Detroit's one. The trophy goes to the 

 team winning four games out of seven.

Saves Labor in Handling 

 Small Aster Plants 



Following is an extract from a letter 

 received from J. G. Botkln, of Urbana, 

 Ohio: 



"One of our great savings in labor 

 with Skinner Irrigation has been In 

 handling the small aster plants. This 

 plant is very Buscoptible to heat and 

 drought. Formerly we potted off all 

 the small plants in 2-iDCh stand of 

 plants when planting out, even in 

 hot weather. Now we take good 

 seedling plants and by using the ir- 

 rigation right after the planting, we 

 can get a much better stand at great- 

 ly reduced cost."

For COMMERCIAL 

 GREENHOUSES 



This Metropolitan semi- iron commer- 

 cial greenhouse. 18 x 200 feet, was 

 erected for the Springfield Floral Co., 

 of Springfield, N. .1. 



Note the neat general appearance of this 

 greenhouse, particularly of the walls. 

 This is made possible by the Metropolitan 

 patented cast iron eave, which, besides 

 being ice-clearing, also has a combination 

 drip conductor feature which carries off 

 all waters of condensation from the inside 

 of the roof. Notice, too, that no wood 

 headers are necessary with this eave.
