The Market. 



Business has been changeable, like the 

 weather, the market showing a surplus 

 one <lay and a scarcity the next. This 

 has. its effect on both wholesaler and re- 

 tailer. The retailer in booking orders 

 ahead is likely to be disappointed by the 

 price he must pay and consequently feels 

 ill-disposed toward the market and the 

 wholesaler. 



Eoses are of best quality and if not 

 cleared the first day they are sure to be 

 the next. White Killarney is an ex- 

 ception. It is not of good quality and 

 not in oversupply. The staple varieties, 

 such as Ophelia, Columbia, Russell and 

 Hoosier Beauty, are the first to be sold 

 and they bring a good price at this sea- 

 son of^the year. Short roses are scarce. 

 American Beauties are good and, com- 

 pared with other roses as to price and 

 quality, in better demand. 



Carnations are plentiful, the best 

 quality naturally being somewhat scarce. 

 Tulips are in great quantity and the 

 price remains steady, some bringing as 

 high as $10 per hundred. A few gladioli 

 reach the market each day, but as yet 

 there is no demand for them. Iris, 

 baby gladioli, calendulas, poeticus, 

 myosotis and mignonette are to be had. 

 Peonies are plentiful, but do not seem to 

 be as strong as other years as to de- 

 mand. Peas have been poor in quality 

 and high in price. 



Various Notes. 



The Michigan Garden Club held its 

 annual tulip show at the Hotel Statler 

 May 24. Local florists also had exhib- 

 its. It was better than ever. The fea- 

 ture was the exhibit of the new, beauti- 

 ful red tulip, Pride of Haarlem. 



J. Carey, of Mount Clemens, is send- 

 ing in the best tulips this market has 

 ever seen. They are about three feet 

 lone, with nice, large flowers. 



Thomas Browne, of Bedford, is mar- 

 keting his large supply of bedding stock. 

 A. J. Stahelin, as usual, is bringing in 

 roses of quality. He also has a fine lot 

 of Darwin tulips. 



Robert Klagge, of Mount Clemens, has 

 had his share of the fine tulips, also 

 some fine iris. 



Sydney Tinkler, of Mount Clemens, 

 has the best in carnations and sweet 

 peas. 



The Pontiac Floral Co. ships in choice 

 roses and especially fine white carna- 

 tions. 



William Dilger, of Breitmeyer 's Sons, 

 is a busy man these days, as are all 

 nurserymen and seedsmen. 



Albert Viek, of Rochester, Buffalo and 

 Pittsburgh, has now located here with 

 the Pontiac Floral Co. Mr. Vick may 

 grow pot plants and if he does we know 

 they will be in demand in this market. 



Detroit expects to be well prepared 

 to receive the peony exhibit. The show 

 will be held at the Detroit board of 

 commerce. 



Joseph Streit, captain of the bowling 

 club, has his plans all made for bowling 

 when the S. A. F. meets in Detroit. 



GERANIUMS 



We suggested last season about this time that orders be 

 placed for the comiDg season. Some heeded this suggestion 

 and had Geraniums to sell this spring. Others put off 

 ordering until they were ready for them; therefore they had 

 none to sell. Can you give any reason why they will be 

 more plentiful next season than this? We can give a num- 

 ber of reasons why they will not be. 



We are booking orders for the wise ones now at $25.00 

 per 1000. The price will not be any less, perhaps more.
