Visitors. 



Eolf Anderson, of the Queen City- 

 Floral Co., Traverse City, Mich., was a 

 visitor last week. 



W. A. Toole, of Baraboo, Wis., the 

 active member of William Toole & Son, 

 was in town May 21, it being his first 

 visit in several years. His firm special- 

 izes in pansy seeds and plants and in 

 hardy perennials. Most of its business 

 is obtained in the form of mail orders 

 from classified ads in The Eeview, Mr. 

 Toole says the sales this spring have 

 been much the largest in the firm's his- 

 tory. It is planned to increase the line 

 and the output. 



A. Priggooris, of the Alpha Floral Co., 

 Lansing, Mich., was in town May 21, 



to get a line on Memorial day stock 

 and other supplies. 



DETROIT, MICH. 



The Market. 



The market has been well supplied 

 since Mothers' day with a choice lot of 

 roses, carnations, bulbous stock, etc. 

 All growers have been making large 

 cuts as the warmer weather has brought 

 stock along. 



Mothers' day business was large and 

 left the market and retail stores desti- 

 tute of flowers. The F. T. D. business 

 was larger than ever before. Business 

 has kept going nicely since Mothers' 

 day. There has been plenty of work, 

 together with counter trade. Memorial 

 day promises to be equally good, with 



a good supply of ])lants for cemetery 

 use and window boxes. 



Various Notes. 



John Breitmcyer's Sons had a tele- 

 graph messenger boy at their Park 

 store the Saturday before Mothers' 

 day to rush orders to the telegraph 

 office. 



Samuel Seligman, of Wertheimer 

 Bros., Philadelphia, Pa., was in Detroit 

 recently calling on the trade.
