TheWcckly Florists' Review* 



Junk 29. 1905. 



DETROIT. 



The season has been a wet, cold one 

 until two weeks ago and seriously hin- 

 dered the work of planting out stock 

 and greatly stimulated the growth of 

 weeds. The regular summer dull sea- 

 son has arrived and with it the time 

 for repairs and replanting. The grad- 

 uations at the schools created a little 

 splurge the past week, although the 

 edict of the board of education that 

 no flowers be allowed on the stage has 

 in a measure tended to cut out the 

 elaborate use of them as in former 

 years. 



There is very little building in the 

 way of new glas^ this year, but all 

 are repainting and taking care of the 

 old. Mr. Plumb is putting in two new 

 boilers and preparing to greatly en- 

 large next year. 



We spent a very pleasant hour with 

 H. A, Hart, of Cleveland, on June 19. 

 He brought his wife to Mt. Clemens, 

 for the baths to try and improve her 

 health. He reports a most prosperous 

 season in Cleveland, and we have had 

 a very good one here, but collections 

 are very slow from outside parties, 

 where the collecting has to be done 

 Dy mail. 



A. Harvey has foreclosed on the 

 property of Mr. Dungay, at Orion, and 

 is putting it in repair throughout. He 

 says he is going to play with it for a 

 year anyway, and see if he can realize 

 the interest on his investment. Mr. 

 Herr, formerly of this city, will be in 

 charge of the growing. 



George A. Rackham has been ill for 

 ■any weeks with the grip, which he 

 characterizes as a most infernal disease, 

 but is now feeling much stronger.

Business is gradually dwindling to 

 a summer basis. Yet now and then 

 there is a spurt that tends to relieve 

 the monotony. The weather is good, 

 but warm, and we are not having quite 

 so much rain. 



Boses, especially white, are very 

 scarce. The supply of Beauties is in- 

 creasing, but the quality is not very 

 good. The buds are small and they 

 6pen very fast. A few Kaiserin 

 help out. The few Liberties also sell 

 well. Brides and Maids are about all 

 used up. There are still some good 

 carnations, most of them coming from 

 the north, and they sell well. Locally 

 they are about used up. Of other 

 stocks, the usual summer variety is 

 to be had. Sweet peas are not quite 

 90 plentiful and consequently are sell- 

 ing better. Greens of all 'kinds are 

 plentiful. 



Variouc Notes. 



The annual meeting and election of 

 officers of the Florists' Society will 

 take place Thursday at George & Al- 

 lan's. Besides that there will be all 

 kinds of games in the afternoon, with 

 supper in true Italian style at D. Rus- 

 coni's. A great time is in prospect 

 and a large party will be present. 



The Hoflfmeister Floral Companv is 

 sending out notices that they will close 

 the retail store at 813 Elm street dur- 

 ing the summer months, beginning July 

 1. All orders will be filled from the 

 greenhouses. The Hoffmeister sisters.
