DETROIT. 



The Market 



Carnations are very scarce and, while 

 plenty of medium grade roses are on the 

 market, good stock is hard to find, bring- 

 ing from $6 to $8 per hundred. Chry- 

 santhemums are quite plentiful but 

 mostly white. Violets are still very 

 poor. 



Business was fairly good the past week, 

 a number of weddings and store openings 

 keeping every one pretty well on the 

 move. 



Various Notes. 



A recent visit to a number of estab- 

 lishments in the eastern part of the city 

 showed a lot of fine stock. Herman 

 Knope, foreman at Breitmeyer's Mack 

 avenue place, is to be congratulated on 

 the condition of the stock, it being in 

 tip-top shape. Their mums are looking 



fine, having nice clean foliage and stems 

 of good length. Among other things they 

 have a fine bench of Adiantum Farley- 

 ense, some nice Bostons, a good lot of 

 Nephrolepis elegantissima and, last but 

 not least, three benches of fine poinset- 

 tias. 



George Backham has been having his 

 share of trouble with thrips, this miser- 

 erable pest having caused him many a 

 poor night's sleep by invading his rose 

 houses. His carnations are in good 

 shape, and as reported before, he has a 

 fine bench of cyclamens. A number of 

 cement benches are to be seen here. 



G. H. Taepke's new range of houses, 

 where carnations only are grown, is in 

 first-class shape. They are cutting lots 

 of fine stock for so early in the season. 

 On their old place everything is also 

 in good order. They have an abundance 

 of good roses and will cut lots of mums 

 this fall. The Foley cable ventilator 

 in use at this place is giving entire 

 satisfaction. 



A visit was next paid to J. F. Sulli- 

 van's establishment. Here a fine house 

 of Killarney rose is to be seen. The 

 other stock is also looking good, includ- 

 ing some benches of mums. The sewer 

 draining the water from the boiler pit 

 into Conner's creek, is being lowered 

 several feet, necessitating the digging 

 of a very deep trench. The last asters 

 of the season were also seen at 

 ' ' Sully 's. ' ' 



Chas. Plumb has been very busy this 

 summer installing two large new boil- 

 ers. Among other things he has a fine 

 lot of Jerusalem cherries and celestial 

 pepper plants; also a fine bench of poin- 

 settias. 



J. Krumholz is very busy getting 

 things in shape for winter. He is cutting 

 some very fine Gov. Wolcott. A house 

 of Kaiserin has proved a very paying 

 investment this summer. 



B. Schroeter was quite busy the latter 

 part of last week, with a large store 

 decoration. His stock is also looking 

 good. He makes a specialty of plants, 

 having a fine lot of palms, rubbers, cro- 

 tons, etc. Besides a fine laench of their 

 new pink sport of Enchantress of which 

 S. S. Skidelsky has the sale, they have 

 several houses of other carnations and 

 mums, also some good Meteors and a 

 large collection of orchids. 



A bogus check man has been around 



gathering some loose change among the 

 retailers. 



F. B. Lesher, of Fremont, O., was a 

 recent visitor. H. S. 



ST. LOUIS. 



The Market. 



The florists about the city are still 

 complaining in regard to the extreme 

 dullness of business. The heavy receipts 

 of stock at all the four wholesale houses 

 adds to the embarrassment of the situa- 

 tion. Prices were knocked down to al- 

 most nothing on all grades except the 

 extra fancy. 



In roses there are plenty in all 

 grades and varieties. To quote the prices 

 of the past week would hardly look well 

 cm. paper. Chrysanthemums are hardly 

 in as yet in large quantities and the 

 commission men are holding them at 

 rather stiff prices, considering the dull 

 business. 



Carnations are much better. These 

 are not nearly so plentiful as roses; 

 still, enough of them are in for the de- 

 mand, with extra fancy as low as $2 

 per hundred, Violets have improved 

 greatly since the cool weather arrived. 

 These are selling fairly well at 25 cents 

 per hundred. The frost has put an end 

 to the long lingering outdoor stock, 

 such as cosmos, dahlias, asters and tube- 

 roses. 



In greens there is everything one 

 wants, and plenty of it, at usual prices. 



Quite a number of the' downtown 

 florists are displaying signs in their 

 windows, selling roses at 15 cents per 

 dozen. 



Qub Meeting. 



The club held its regular monthly meet- 

 ing October 12 in Odd Fellows' Hall, 

 twenty-six members being present when 

 Vice-president Steidel called the meeting 

 to order. The flower show committee 

 was making its report when President 

 Ammann arrived and took the chair. The 

 committee reported progress and that 

 everything was in readiness for a suc- 

 cessful show next month. Mr. Weber, 

 the chairman, again stated that the pre- 

 miums will be paid in full the day after 

 the show closes and that the money 

 is already in the hands of the committee. 

 Programs and advertising miatter will be 

 out next week.
