The Market. 



Business has been more than brisk for 

 the last week. There has been an un- 

 usual amount of funeral work, calling 

 for immense quantities of stock. The 

 supply has been about normal and qual- 

 ity of stock good. Good Beauties are 

 available at modest prices. Other roses 

 are in good supply and the prices right. 

 Carnations are of fine quality, and the 

 supply good. Snapdragons, lupines, val- 

 ley, ii-is, forget-me-nots, sweet peas, etc., 

 are all in fairly good supply and move 

 readily. 



Mothers' Day. 



Mothers' day taxed the local flower 

 market to the limit last Saturday. The 

 demand for cut flowers and plants at 

 modest prices far exceeded the supply, 

 and Sunday morning many people who 

 had delayed ordering had to go home 

 disappointed, after making the rounds

of the downtown retail stores. The mid- 

 dle of the morning the Michigan Cut 

 Flower Exchange received another large 

 shipment of stock, and this was quickly 

 disposed of. The call was for every- 

 thing in the line of flowers except, per- 

 haps, Beauties; these were just a little 

 too high-priced to meet with popular 

 favor. While many white carnations 

 were disposed of at prices ranging from 

 $1.25 to $1.50, carnations and other 

 blooms in colors sold just as well. In 

 fact, the demand seemed to run more 

 to colored flowers. The supply of mod- 

 erate-priced plants being limited, not 

 many were sold, but if another year we 

 have a better supply of such plants, the 

 sale will be heavy. All told, the 

 few dollars spent in booming this

 is but the beginning. In a few years, 

 if prices are kept within reason, Moth-

Various Notes. 



The members of the Garden Club of 

 Detroit gave a spring flower show at the 

 Grosse Pointe Comitry Club, May 8, 

 which proved a brg success. Daffodils 

 were the predominating flower, other 

 flowers being used principally in the 

 table decorating to fill in. Philip Breit-
