DETROIT. 



The Market. 



Although business has been pretty 

 good it is hardly what is expected at this 

 season of the year. If it were not for 

 the large amount of funeral work, things 

 would be rather dull. Large wedding 

 decorations are few and far between, 

 and having had very fine fall weather, 

 people spend their time outdoors, instead 

 of giving parties, etc. 



Although Thanksgiving in Detroit does 

 not draw very heavily on the market, 

 prices took a decided jump for a few 

 days, to keep in line with the east and 

 west. Chrysanthemums are still in the 

 ring, but good white and pink varieties 

 are quite scarce. Roses are selling fairly 

 well, select stock bringing from $6 to 

 $8 per hundred, with a slight advance for 

 Thanksgiving. Carnations, though not 

 exactly scarce, are by no means a glut. 

 Lawson colors are quite plentiful, but 

 Enchantress and good white are at a pre- 

 mium. Violets are a very scarce article 

 at present and short white flowers for 

 funeral work are becoming very scarce. 



Various Notes. 



E. O. Kohler has opened a fine new 

 store on the east side. 



Robert Flowerday was very much im- 

 pressed with the Toronto show. On ac- 

 count of the stormy weather the show 

 was not a success from a financial stand- 

 point, but it seems each and every florist 

 did all in his power to make a fine dis- 

 play and succeeded. 



The store and greenhouses of the late 

 H. G. Flammer are still being offered for 

 sale by Mrs. Flammer. H. S. 



Fort Wayne, Ind. — George Doswell's 

 cow recently killed his fine horse by ac- 

 cidentally cutting its neck with a horn. 

 The jugular vein was severed. 



Detroit, Mich. — The American Blower 

 Co., the maker of the Morehead steam 

 trap so largely used by florists, is erect- 

 ing a three-story steel and brick addi- 

 tion to its plant.
