The Florists' Review 



OCTOBHK 28, 1915. 



' ' ■-.. DETROIT. 



The Market. 



The uuusual scarcity of stock that 

 prevailed last week has eased up a lit- 

 tle, but the supply of good stock is by 

 no means equal tp the demand. Mums 

 are becoming more plentiful, but they 

 readily bring from $2 to $3 per dozen. 

 Yellow mums were in heavy demand 

 October 23, owing to the game at Ann 

 Arbor, and hundreds were disposed of 

 at good prices. Yellow pompons also 

 were in demand. 



The many social eVeirts— the social 

 calendar is crowded this year — are keep- 

 ing the market sold out in roses, espe- 

 cially the short-stemmed stock. Carna- 

 tions are improving daily and retail 

 readily at from 75 cents to $1 per 

 dozen. These prices are for blooms 

 that later could hardly be given away. 



Various Notes. 



Henry Forster, chief adjutant for 

 E. A. Fetters, will live in the hand- 

 some apartments over Mr. Fetters' new 



Hugo Schroeter, Inc., was the first to 

 display Halloween decorations in the 

 windows this year. In the largest win- 

 dow there was a ghostly barnyard 

 scene^ with several ghosts peeking from 

 behind gates and shocks of corn. This 

 window was especially effective at 

 night, when the lights in the ghosts' 

 heads became more marked. In the 

 smaller window was a Halloween ta- 

 ble covered with black crepe paper hav- 

 ing a fringe of Dennison decorative 

 paper in black and white. On the ta- 

 ble were three centerpieces made up in 

 heads of red cabbage, also candlesticks 

 and several young ghosts. Novelty 

 baskets ^Ued with pompons, corn, etc., 

 completed the window. 



The E. A. Fetters staff was on the 

 jump October 23 with orders for three 

 wedding decorations. Mr. Fetters ap- 

 pears to have the cream of the wed- 

 ding orders this October. 



Frank Farney, of the M. Kice Co., was 

 in town this week. 



Hereafter the meeting of the Detroit 

 Florists' Club will begin at 6:30 p. m., 

 instead of 6. The first annual meet- 

 ing of the Ladies' Auxiliary of the 

 Detroit Florists ' Club will be held Octo- 

 ber 29, in the studio of the Bemb Floral 

 Co. 



John Carey was busily engaged Oc- 

 tober 25 in decorating his window for 

 Halloween. Mr. Carey displayed a fine 

 assortment of yellow mums in baskets, 

 and pot plants trimmed with the colors 

 of the University of Michigan. H. S.
