DETROIT. 



The Market. 



Business has been exceedingly brisk. 

 Both Valentine's day and Washington's 

 birthday helped create quite a demand 

 for a variety of flowers. Violets sold in 

 larger quantities than in former years 

 for these holidays. 



The weather has been quite mild, with 

 a good deal of sun, being very favorable 

 for roses and carnations, which have im- 

 proved considerably in quality, but are 

 still very scarce. White roses, especially, 

 are scarce. Carnations are 'coming in 

 larger quantities, white and Enenantress 

 sell readily at $2.50 to $3 per hundred; 

 Lawson bring $2 per hundred. Eed car- 

 nations were in big demand the past 

 three weeks. Tulips and daffodils are 

 a glut at present. Smilax and other 

 greens are not overplentiful. 



Among the Retailers. 



Beginning a visit to the retail stores 

 with the Detroit Floral Co., we find Rob- 

 ert Flowerday a very busy man. He is 

 seldom seen among the trade except on 

 meeting night, as he has his hands full 

 looking after a large span of glass as 

 well as the store. Mrs. Flowerday is an 

 able assistant, looking after the store 

 when her husband is busy elsewhere. 

 ' Wm. Brown is doing a nice business, 

 getting his share of the funeral and deco- 

 rative work. He also has the able as- 

 sistance of his wife, who always wears 

 a smile, no matter how long she has 

 to keep the coffee warm, waiting for 

 William to finish some design. 



From here we go diagonally across the 

 avenue, where we find E. A. Fetters; al-

though the youngest firm in Detroit, 

 they by no means do the least business. 

 The tasty window displayed by this en- 

 terprising firm is a great drawing card 

 and should set an example for all re- 

 tailers. Mr. Fetters always keeps his 

 window just a little ahead of the times, 

 and no doubt it serves as a gentle re- 

 minder to many passers-by. Miss Fetters 

 is also a great help looking after the 

 books. 



George Leadley is the next down the 

 street. He makes good use of a large 

 show window, always showing a good, 

 fresh collection of flowers and blooming 

 plants. 



At Sullivan's it is the same old song; 

 work until you cannot rest. It is a won- 

 der Norman does not get thin. With 

 sleeves rolled up to his elbows, he is 

 generally making up some design. Mrs. 

 Sullivan is always on deck, wearing a 

 pleasant smile for all comers. 



Taking a jaunt up a side street we 



find Sehroeter's, head over heels in fu- 

 neral work, this being their long suit, 

 although they get their share of the 

 decorative work also. Having a 100-foot 

 house in connection with their store, 

 they are always able to display a fine 

 collection of plants in season. It is 

 easily to be seen that Mr. Sehroeter's 

 hobby is orchids and, judging from the 

 perfect blooms on his plants, he stands 

 alone as an orchid grower among De- 

 troit 's florists. 



On the next corner is Breitmeyer's 

 elaborate new ^tore, where an extra large 

 force of help is always kept busy. Among 

 a number of decorations this firm had 

 charge of were those for the banquet 

 tendered Secretary of War Taft by the 

 board of commerce, spring flowers in 

 red and white predominating. F. Dan- 

 zer, their window trimmer, deserves great 

 credit, the five large show windows being 

 always tastefully decorated. The foun- 

 tain attracts an unusual amount of at-
