The Florists^ Review 



May 31, 1917. 



DETROIT, MICH. 



The Market. 



The quantity of stock reaching the 

 market last week was considerably 

 shortened by the cold and rainy 

 weather. The popular varieties of 

 roses, such as Oi)helia, Russell, Reid, 

 Hoosier Beauty, Ward and other cor- 

 sage roses, cleared daily. Killarney and 

 American Beauty, with some of the 

 bulbous stock, were inclined to drag. 

 The prices of roses remain good; in 

 fact, they have been rather stiff. 



Carnations, tlie first part of last 

 week, M'cre to be had so low as $2 per 

 hundred, but at the end of the week 

 reached $4 and $5 per hundred. The 

 flowers were small and not plentiful. 

 Sweet peas have shortened in quantity 

 and are only fair in quality. Tulips 

 are good and sell well, being used in 

 funeral and social work. Gladioli have 

 come in, but the sale is not yet strong. 

 The supply of baby gladioli has short- 

 ened and clears each day. Peonies are 

 coming in and great quantities are ex- 

 pected for Memorial day. 



Various Noties.

 troit Florists' Club May 23.

 the trade last week. H. T. 



Erie, Pa. — J. V. Laver says the reason 

 why he took over the houses of the Erie 

 Floral Co. was to secure the supply of 

 roses produced there. By making other 

 changes his glass area will be about as 

 heretofore. The nursery department is 

 progressing, busy now on a large plant- 

 ing contract for the General Electric Co. 

 Ernst F. Iloehl, of S. S. Skidelsky & Co., 

 Philadelphia, was a caller and remarked 

 that, with certain lines of stock run- 

 ning low, it looked as though the sales- 

 man would be the bestower, instead of 

 the recipient, of favors.
