DETROIT. 



The Market 



Businesis lias been quite brisk since the 

 holidays, recoptions and weddings being 

 added to a lot of funeral work. Beauties, 

 as almost always, arc a scarce article 

 on this market. Best Brides and Maids 

 are bringing from $10 to $14, while good 

 roses for funeral work can be bought at 

 from $;} to $5 per hundred. Carnations 

 are becoming quite plentiful, for the first 

 time this season, but they are still com- 

 manding good prices, from $3 to $4 per 

 hundred for the best stock. Stevia is in 

 great demand at 25 cents per bunch. 

 Tulips are being shown in some stores, 

 "but so far do not move very rapidly. 

 Schroeter has been having a good run 

 on some fine early yellow narcissi. Vio- 

 lets are seemingly out of style. Although 

 the shipments are much smaller than in 

 former years, still there are plenty to 

 go .iround. 



Various Notes. 



Friends of Herman Knope will no 

 doubt be pleased to learn of his rapid 

 recovery from his long illness. 



A stag party was given by Theo Mit- 

 chell to a party of friends in remem- 

 brance of the good time at Washington. 

 After some interesting card games a 

 grand supper was spread before the boys, 

 with broiled steak as a headliner. 



Breitmeyer's had charge of the decora- 

 tions for a very elaborate wedding at the 

 Cadillac hotel on Monday. 



George A. Kackham has been on the 

 sick list the past few days. 



James Taylor is contemplating the 

 changing of his heating system from 

 steam to hot water under pressure with 

 a forced circulation.

 cago; F. R. Pierson, Tarrytown, N. Y. ;

 ner, Philadelphia. H. S. 



Oxford, Pa. — All the growers in this 

 section seem pleased with prices this 

 winter; they are all cutting good stock. 

 George B. Barnett is to build another 

 house 24x75 feet, for carnations. 



Macon, Ga. — The Idle-hour flower 

 store has increased facilities in the form 

 of a conservatory at the rear, which adds 

 much to the appearance of the establish- 

 ment. D. C. Horgan, the proprietor, is 

 well pleased with the way the business is 

 increasing. H. E. .Tephson is the man- 

 ager of the store. Three or four more 

 greenhouses will be added to the range 

 before next season.
