The Florists' Review 



Jdnb 7, 1917. 



DETROIT, MICH, 



The Market. 



Because the Memorial day demand 

 apparently was not up to the expecta- 

 tions of the downtown retailers, the 

 preparations for a good supply of stock 

 for the holiday turned out to be more 

 than ample. The business done, how- 

 ever, seems to have pleased the major- 

 ity of the florists. 



Stock of the best quality now is ar- 

 riving, but there could be more life to 

 the sale of carnations, American Beau- 

 ties and tulips. Sweet peas, however, 

 clear before a robust demand, the sup- 

 ply not being any too large. The activ- 

 ities in the bedding stock departments 

 now are in full blast, with everybody 

 in the greenhouses speeding up his 

 work. 



Various Notes. ; 



One grower deserves special credit for 

 the high-grade stock he is shipping to 

 the Detroit market. He is Fred Breit- 

 meyer, of Mount Clemens, whose new 

 Pink Ophelia roses are a treat to the 

 lucky retailer who can obtain them, Mr. 

 Breitmeyer also grows Ward, Ophelia, 

 Mott and Reid to perfection. 



Splendid Darwin tulips are being cut 

 at the A. Stahelin place. 



Plans for a fishing trip by florists are 

 being made by William Dilger, of the 

 Dilger Landscape Co. 



Norman Sullivan has leased a part of 

 the Woodward Flower Shop to a high- 

 class confectioner. H. T. 



BRIEF ANSWERS. 



A. N. R., Mich.— These are each 

 forms of Cephalotaxus Fortunei. 



K. C. G., Pa. — It is impossible to grow 

 good stock in insufficiently heated 

 houses. You could grow violets or let- 

 tuce in a liouse kept up to 45 degrees. 



B. & S., Kan. — Advertised bv the 

 American Greenhouse Mfg. Co., Chicago. 



J. & C, W. Va.— We do not know 

 anything new to say. Still, we think 

 we can see a gradual improvement in 

 business methods. We think the im- 

 portance of bookkeeping, the prompt 

 filling of orders, careful packing and a 

 promi)t rci)ly to a business letter are be- 

 ginning to be appreciated. We look for 

 steady progress. 



Flushing, N. Y.— R. Hughes savs he 

 sees potatoes in front of him, potatoes 

 on the loft of him and potatoes on the 

 right of him, from which it would seem 

 that the people of Flushing need some 

 sort of inoculation against the potato 

 bug. Have no fear, Mr. Hughes; there 

 IS plenty of room for both flowering 

 plants and the lowly spud.
