Many field grown carnations are 

 shipped in daily, but, on the whole, 

 they are not of much use, having suf- 

 fered from thrips. The indoor blooms 

 are exceptionally fine for so early in 

 the season and sell readily at good 

 prices. Some Philadelphia blooms are 

 causing quite a sensation. They have 

 splendid long stems, which bear the 

 fine blooms well. Some extra fancy ones 

 brought $4 per hundred last Saturday. 

 The supply of roses is fairly good in 

 all grades and varieties at the present 

 writing. The leaders are Killarney, 

 Bhea Reid, Sunburst and Maryland. 

 Some few Mrs. Chas. Russell and Mi- 

 lady are available and are popular with 

 local buyers. Mock roses shipped in 

 from Mount Clemens are well grown 

 and bring fancy prices. 



Valley was in unusually heavy de- 

 mand last week, and although ship- 

 ments were heavy, the supply ran short 

 of the demand. Many large orders 

 from out of town are being filled. The 

 supply of snapdragons is limited and 

 the few available are rapidly cleaned 

 up. Lilies are a scarce article at pres- 

 ent. Orchids may be obtained locally 

 on short notice. This flower is slowly 

 but surely getting a foothold here and 

 the demand for it is more steady each 

 year. 



Asparagus, adiantum and other 

 greens are in fairly good supply, and 

 the demand for them is heavy. South- 

 ern smilax is now being carried in 

 stock for immediate delivery. 



Various Notes. 



The outlook is exceptionally good 

 for a fine crop of chrysanthemums here 

 this fall. A visit to the larger grow- 

 ers shows their plants in the pink of 

 condition, with promise of a heavy cut. 

 Pompons and singles will also be more 

 plentiful than heretoforfe. A choice lot 

 of mum plants will also be available. 



A. J. Stahelin's range of movable 

 bouses was moved into position last 

 week without the breakage of a light 

 and no hitch in the proceedings. Mr. 

 Stahelin is shipping in some fine As- 

 paragus plumosusi cut from his old 

 range, which is almost entirely devoted 

 to this green. 



Chas. Fell, manager of the Century 

 Flower Stand, is the proud father of 

 twin girls, born last week. 



Wm. Hielscher, of the Hielscher 

 Wire Works, will also have an assistant 

 soon, his wife having presented him 

 with a bouncing baby boy last week. 



Thomas Browne has but one-third as 

 many mum plants this year as last, but

his plants are in such fine shape that

 other years. 



The Detroit Greenhouse Co., of Red-

J. E. Carey is now cutting a fine lot 

 of Killarney. Mr. Carey is some fisher- 

 man, and when not busy cutting roses 

 he may be seen on the lake cruising 

 around in his launch after a mess of 

 fish. 



Robert Klagge is receiving many 

 shipments of bulbs, and judging from 

 the number of cases being received, 

 there will be no shortage of bulb stock 

 here next spring.
