The Florists' Review 



FlBBUABZ 6, 1918. 



DETBOIT, MICH. 



Tlie Market. 



Carnations are in heavy crop, while 

 roses and sweet peas ' still are short of 

 demand, which is large. Long-stemmed 

 roses are not to be had in the local mar- 

 ket. The only one's available are me- 

 dium and short Ophelia, Bussell, Colum- 

 bia and Hoosier Beauty. A few tulips 

 and jonquils are finding their way to 

 the market. With recent arrivals of 

 narcissi, freesias and other seasonable 

 flowers, they give the shops a spring- 

 like appearance. Snapdragon is used to 

 good advantage in baskets and in fu- 

 neral work. Plant stock includes cycla- 

 mens, hyacinths and tulips. 



Various Notes. 



It was with sorrow that the florists of 

 Detroit learned of the death of Milton 

 Alexander, of Lion & Co., New York, 

 whose illness began while he was mak- 

 ing the rounds of the trade in this city. 



Charles Frueh, of Saginaw, stopped 

 in Detroit recently while on a visit to 

 points in this vicinity. He reports good 

 business in his locality. 



T. Browne, a grower of this city, and 

 Robert Rahaley, of the Michigan Cut 

 Flower Exchange, have gone to Florida. 

 Henry Rahaley and Norman Sullivan 

 have returned from New York and Phil- 

 adelphia. In the latter city they visited 

 Ernest Sullivan, formerly of this city. 



Frank Dulsky, of the Michigan Cut 

 Flower Exchange, has returned from the 

 service of Uncle Sam. 



The annual florists' dancing party, 

 under the auspices of the Ladies' Auxil- 

 iary of the Detroit Florists' Club, took 

 place at the Hotel Statler February 5. 

 Always one of the prettiest social af- 

 fairs of the season, this year's dance 

 surpassed previous standards. The dec- 

 oration committee included Mesdames 

 Albert Pochelon, George Davis, Robert 

 Jean, Robert Rahaley and Flora Rush, 

 who were assisted by William Dilger 

 and E. A. Fetters. The reception com- 

 mittee comprised Mesdames John 

 Warncke, Albert Stehelin, George As- 

 man, George Doemling, Harry Smith, 

 Theodore Michell, William E. Hielscher 

 and M. Bloy. Mrs. Albert Stehelin was 

 chairman of the ticket committee.
