The Weekly Florists^ Review^ 



July 5. 1906. 



DETROIT. 



The Market 



The Detroit market lias shown signs 

 of weakening since the hot weather set 

 in, the public losing nuu-li of their in- 

 terest in flowers. Funeral work has 

 been holding on very regularly, but 

 cut flowers have not done so well. 

 Stock seems plentiful at the wholesale 

 houses, except in Easter lilies, where the 

 demand exceeds the supply. 



Carnations and roses are coming in 

 large numbers. Sweet peas are also 

 quite numerous, but sales are good. 

 These are vacation days for potted 

 plants; they are seldom disturbed. 



Vuioua Notes. 



The Detroit Florists ' Club enjoyed a 

 fishing trip up the lakes June 28. The 

 twenty members who went spent a pleas- 

 ant day. The weather was ideal and 

 the fish plentiful. After being towed 

 out in small boats, each of the party 

 proceeded to catch the largest string, 

 the honor going to the man having the 

 most money along. The natives seemed 

 to have more experience than we in 

 hauling in fish, and they found a ready 

 sale for them. 



W. W. Castle, of Boston, who is here 

 on business connected with greenhouse 

 heating, was one of the party, and says 

 he had a good time. 



Charles Plumb has left on an extended 

 trip to the old country. 



Hugo SchroetcT was married to Miss 

 Aureiia Kussell, of Newport, R. I., June 

 30. Many of his friends among the 

 florists sent tlieir best wislies by tele- 

 gram. 



CHARLOTTE, MICH. 



Charlotte has two greenhouses succeed- 

 ing one which for years was a success. 

 It is doubtful, however, if the one ever 

 did a larger business than is done by 

 each of the two. Competition is said 

 to be the life of trade. One dealer is 

 apt to consider money wasted if spent 

 in advertising, tliinking it would all 

 come to him anyhow, but two people in 

 the same business advertise thoroughly 

 and the result is that eacii sells more 

 than the one. That is the case with 

 Charlotte 's two greenhouse concerns. 

 The Garmans, in the near future, will 

 ere(-t another large greenhouse to be 

 used entirely for carnations, and the 

 Fuller Floral Co. also finds it necessary 

 to enlarge. 



YOUNCSTOWN, O. — Incorporation pa- 

 jters have been issued to the Walker 

 Floral Co. John Walker and others are 

 the incorporators. The capital stock is 

 $30,000. 



The Review has received a souvenir 

 postal from Harry Hayersdorfer, of 

 Philadelphia, dated at Firenze, Italy, 

 June 16, in which Mr. Bayersdorfer 

 couples with regards to the friends at 

 home the information that it is a hot 

 summer in Italy.
