The Florists^ Review 



Mabch 20, 1919. 



It is of a late-flowering habit, and its 

 pure white blooms are nearly twice the 

 size of those of E. multiflora. 



Two lilacs are included in the list, 

 both from China. One of these, Syringa 

 reflexa, is thus named on account of the 

 pendent habit of the sprays of bloom, so 

 vividly in contrast to the upright posi- 

 tion of other lilac blooms. The other 

 lilac is a native of northern China and 

 bears the name of S. Sweginzowii. 



Diervilla florida venusta is the name 

 of a species of the weigela, as this 

 plant is often called, selected to grace 

 this list, as the handsomest of its class. 



Bare Shrub of Early Habit. 



A rare shrub which is of early habit 

 is the Prinsepia sinensis. Its leaves 

 unfold earlier than any other in the 

 arboretum, after which it is covered 

 with almost innumerable yellow flowers. 



Corylopsis gotoana is the name of a 

 Japanese shrub which is given a place 

 in the list. This bears drooping clusters 

 of yellow flowers before the leaves ap- 

 pear. 



-^sculus georgiana and Spiraea 

 Veitchii complete the list. The former 

 is a dwarf buckeye, with large red and 

 yellow flowers borne in compact clusters. 

 The special value of the latter lies in 

 the fact that it is one of the latest 

 blooming white-flowered spiraeas. 



DETROIT, MICH. 



The Market. 



Business has been brisk the last week, 

 with a good supply of cut flowers and 

 plants. Considering the fact that it is 

 Lent, a large amount of flowers is used 

 for table bouquets and corsages. Boses 

 find a ready market, with a small 

 amount of poorer stock left over. 

 Ophelias are the most popular on the 

 market. A good stock of other roses, 

 such as Bussells, Hoosier Beauties, 

 Columbias and Wards, also are coming 

 into the market. Good spring stock is 

 scarce. This includes jonquils, narcissi 

 and freesias. Darwin tulips are a treat 

 to the retailer, as the other varieties 

 are poor stock. Carnations have stif- 

 fened up in the demand, there not be- 

 ing so large a quantity on hand as dur- 

 ing the previous week. Plants are sell- 

 ing well, there being plenty of all kinds, 

 the small ones retailing around $2.
