The Florists^ Review 



May 10, 1917. 



DETROIT, MICH. 



The Market. 



Business remains good, with plenty of 

 funeral and wedding work to keep the 

 retailers busy. The supply of stock has 

 shortened and each morning the whole- 

 salers quickly dispose of the shipments 

 received. 



American Beauty roses recently have 

 been poor and tlie demand for them has 

 dropped. Opjielia, Shawyer, Russell, 

 Reid and Hoosier Beauty roses find 

 ready sale, while Killarneys do not seem 

 to be so popular. Short-stemmed roses 

 are in demand and clear each day. 



The supply of carnations, also, has 

 shortened and their keeping qualities are 

 poor. Bulbous stock is not in oversup- 

 ply and moves each day. Sweet peas 

 are on the short side, while valley and 

 orchids sell well, as the demand for cor- 

 sage bouquets recently has been strong. 



Various Notes. 



Detroit florists are ready for Mothers' 

 day and expect the sales to increase over 

 a year ago. Every store is displaying 

 prominently Mothers' day posters of 

 red, white and blue with the words 

 "Mothers' day. May 13," in the field of 

 white. A Detroit newspaper featured 

 an article on Mothers' day by Ella 

 Grant Wilson, of Cleveland, O., in the 

 issue of Sunday, May 6. 



Adam Bezemer, of E. A. Fetters' store, 

 recently spent a few days at his home 

 in Kalamazoo, Mich. 



John F. Mast, formerly with F. Holz- 

 nagle, has taken over the Art Floral Co. 

 store adjoining the Majestic theater on 

 Woodward avenue. 



Miss M. Dunke has acquired the flower 

 store on East Grand River avenue, near 

 Broadway. 



Visitors. 



S. A. Anderson, of Buffalo, N. Y., was 

 a recent visitor in Detroit. 



Philip Foley, of the Foley Greenhouse 

 Mfg. Co., Chicago, 111., was in Detroit 

 on business. 



A. Miller, of the American Bulb Co., 

 Chicago, 111., was in Detroit last week 

 calling on the trade. H. T. 



NEWPORT, R. I. 



John C. Hass reports that April was 

 a busy month in funeral work, as well 

 as decorations. 



The garden movement has caused an 

 iinusually brisk demand for vegetable 

 plants, and S. Larson, gardener at the 

 Tolethorpe school, has had his hands full 

 supplying the demands. 



Ebenezer W. Forrest has opened a new 

 store at 94 Broadway. He was for sev- 

 eral years with Gibson Bros, and later 

 with Thomas J. Gibson. Mr. Forrest 

 will be married next month. 



W. H. M. 



Poughkeepsie, N. Y.— W. A. Saltford, 

 of Saltford 's Flower Shop, commenting 

 on the various styles of baskets filled 

 with bulbous plants in bloom, said any- 

 thing that is different from the ordinary 

 idea sells and the more classy the better.
