The Florists' Review 



Mat 20, 1915. 



DETROIT. 



Tbe Market. 



, Business has had its ups and downs 

 since Mothers' day. We had a 2-day 

 street car strike, which crippled busi- 

 ness the middle of last we^k. Satur- 

 day was a good day all around. 



Stock was scarce immediately after 

 Mothers' day, but the market eased up 

 considerably toward the end of the 

 week, although there was a good de- 

 mand. Roses are in good supply and 

 the quality is good. Many good Beau- 

 ties in various lengths are available 

 and meet with a ready sale. Peonies 

 have put in their appearance, and the 

 few already on the market are rapidly 

 disposed of. Iris and miniature gladi- 

 oli have also arrived and are much in 

 demand, although the supply of the 

 latter is more than the call for it. 



Various Notes. 



Many of the stores are showing fine 

 lines of pottery for garden and porch 

 •use. Breitmeyer 's, the Bemb Floral 

 Co. and E. A. Fetters are the leaders 

 in this line. 



Albert J. Stahelin was confined to his 

 home for a few days last week with a 

 severe cold, which threatened to be- 

 come serious. 



A. Pochelon returned last week from 

 a day's motor and fishing trip. 



John Berlin, who for many years was 

 on the staff of the Michigan Cut Flower 

 Exchange, is now at the Cut Flower 

 Growers ' Corporation. 



The Michigan Cut Flower Exchange 

 recently purchased a Buick motor 

 truck, which will be put into regular 

 service between Mount Clemens and 

 Detroit just as soon as the special body 

 is completed. 



The clock in the City hall tower was 

 moved ahead one hour Saturday night. 

 May 15, and Detroit is now doing busi- 

 ness on eastern standard time. The 

 factories, theaters, churches, street 

 railway company, ferry companies and 

 the stores all pushed their clocks one 

 hour ahead, but will operate on the 

 old schedule, meaning one hour more 

 daylight. 



Henry Rahaley, of the Michigan Cut 

 Flower Exchange, is the latest member 

 of the trade to acquire an automobile, 

 his acquisition being a Hupmobile.
