The Florists' Review 



OCTOBEB 21, 1913. 



DETROIT. 



The Maxket. 



Business picked up nicely the first 

 part of this month. While the activity 

 ia spasipodic, things on the whole look 

 promising. The trouble at present is 

 the scarcity of stock. Boses are in fairly 

 good supply and of excellent quality, 

 but they are alone and the public tires 

 even of roses. Mums are two weeks 

 later than usual and carnations still are 

 scarce. When stock arrives at the com- 

 mission houses, there is a wild scramble 

 and the flowers rarely reach the water 

 at the wholesalers*. Some pink snap- 

 dragons are coming in, but they are 

 extremeljr small. 



A killing frost visited Detroit Octo- 

 ber 9 and put an end to every outdoor 

 flower. Last year the flrst heavy frost 

 occurred two weeks later than this year. 



Club Meeting. 



The meeting of the Detroit Florists' 

 Club October 12 was well attended and 

 much enjoyed by all present. After 

 the supper, which was well received, 

 various topics came up for discussion. 



A letter was read urging local flo- 

 rists to encourage a bill to stop the 

 dumping of bulbs, seeds, etc., on this 

 market. Secretary Forster was in- 

 structed to write to Secretary Eedfield 

 and to our members in Congress to have 

 our wares included in such a bill. 



Various Notes. 



Albert Pochelon is displaying bulle- 

 tins on his delivery cars advising the 

 public what flowers and plants are in 

 season. It is Mr. Pochelon 's intention 

 to change these bulletins frequently, 

 in order that they may not become tire- 

 some to the readers. 



The first debutante of the season held 

 her reception October 11, and it was 

 estimated that the total cost of the 

 bouquets, baskets and other novelties 

 sold by the florists for the occasion 

 would total $2,500. This season prom- 

 ises to be a lively one socially. 



Several members of the trade recent- 

 ly visited Albert Stahelin's range at 

 Bedford. Mr. Stahelin is cutting some 

 excellent rose blooms, which are always 

 on call. His snapdragons, carnations 

 and mums are looking fine. 



Thomas Browne has approximately 

 75,000 mums planted, but he is cutting 

 only a few. The plants, however, are 

 in splendid shape and when they start 

 to bloom his daily cut will -be large. 

 Mr. Browne has some fine stevias com- 

 ing along. 



Frank Danzer recently had occasion 

 to visit Adrian, Mich., and while there 

 spent some time at the Elmer Smith 

 place. He found the stock in fine con- 

 dition. Mr. Smith has been experi- 

 menting with artificial fertilizers, the 

 results of which proved interesting to 

 Mr. Danzer. It was noted that all the 

 plants treated with the artificial ma- 

 nure were good. 



George Pedrick, of Windsor, Ont., a 

 member of the local club, has been sick 

 for some time and still is ailing. 



Robert Eahaley urges all members 

 of the club to visit the Cleveland flower 

 show, saying they will be well repaid 

 for the time and money spent. 



E. A. Fetters has purchased a new 

 Overland delivery car, this being his 

 second Overland car for delivery pur- 

 poses. B. Schroeter, the Bemb Floral
