DETROIT, MICH. 



S 



The Market. 



The campaign for Liberty bonds did 

 not harm the flower business, for last 

 week was a busy one. There was jjlenty 

 of work and a reasonable sale of cut 

 flowers and corsage bouquets. 



The supply of stock is larger than at 

 the last report. American Beauties are 

 plentiful and in good demand, consider- 

 ing the activity in mums, which natur- 

 ally detracts from the sale of roses. 

 Oth,er roses are short in supply — not 

 equal to the poor demand. Corsj^ge 

 roses, however, are plentiful and of 

 high quality. Carnations are arriving 

 more satisfactorily. The stems are 

 longer and the blooms better, but there 

 are not enough as yet. 



Mums of all kinds, both locally grown 

 and those from California, are to be 

 had, the yellows being in largest supply. 

 Pompons have accumulated during the 

 week and large lots may be had at low 

 prices. Pompon plants are used to good 

 advantage. Lilies, Harrisii and rubrum, 

 are plentiful and of highest quality. 

 Snapdragons and calendulas are steady 

 in supply and sell readily. Valley shij:)- 

 ments are regular and fine orchids meet 

 with a good demand. Greens of all 

 kinds are plentiful. 



Various Notes. 



E. A. Fetters' delivery car was par- 

 tially wrecked last week in a collision 

 with another car. 



John Breitmeyer's Sons called a 

 meeting October 25, at which F. C. 

 O'Mara spoke. The lecture was at- 

 tended by all the employees of the firm. 



George Hampton and J. P. McCarthy, 

 travelers for the Neidinger Co. and the 

 Rice Co., respectively, Philadelphia, 

 were among last week's visitors. 



Bloy Bowls 235! 



Last week's "strenuous" on the al- 

 leys brought out several stars, three of 

 whom rolled into the limelight with 

 frames of more than 200, the top score 

 going to Michael Bloy, whose string of 

 strikes totaled 235. The scores and 

 standing of the teams follow:
