The Florists' Review 



March 1. 1917. 



DETROIT, MICH. 



The Market,. 



Spring stock, as expected, is in great 

 abundance, and the retailers are having 

 sales to their hearts' content. The sup- 

 ply of roses is steady, but not exces- 

 sively large. Sweet peas are arriving in 

 large quantities, as well as carnations. 

 Some extra fine Paper Whites are to be 

 had. The demand for Beauties and long- 

 stemmed Russells is good, but the supply 

 of these is inadequate. Orchids, single 

 violets and valley sell well. Last week 

 saw a large consumption of lilies and 

 roses, as there were several unusually 

 largo funerals. 



Various Notes. 



Hugo Schroeter, Inc., had on display 

 in the window several bundles of scrap 

 paper, suggestive of why the Saturday 

 special could still be sold at $1; namely, 

 the store had a saving grace as- regards 

 paper — the high cost of doing business 

 did not affect the price of the special. 



One of Frank Holznagle's green- 

 houses and the stock were damaged to a 

 great extent last week by fire. 



Harry E. Saier, of Lansing, was 

 looking the town over last week. F. 

 Johnson, of the A. L. Randall Co., Chi- 

 cago, also was a visitor. 



Philip Breitmeyer has returned from 

 Cuba and the east.

Last week saw a still greater influx 

 of bulbous stock to the market, includ- 

 ing tulips, jonquils, hyacinths and 

 freesias. There are some good Paper 

 Whites in the market. Purple lilac has 

 appeared, the white variety having been 

 here for several weeks. Callas are more 

 plentiful and splendid Easter lilies are 

 offered. Carnations are plentiful. 



Various Notes. 



August C. Begerow trimmed an ap- 

 propriate window for Washington's 

 birthday, in which Old Glory, as usual, 

 was the feature. 



Henry A. Strobell had his windows 

 filled with cherry bouquet baskets. 

 Baskets with bouquets of large cherries, 

 prettily arranged, have been a Wash- 

 ington birthday feature with Mr. 

 Strobell for several years. R. B.' M.
