The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



Mabch 8, 1006. 



DETROIT. 



The Market. 



Lent does not seem to have much ef- 

 fect on local business. Theaters are 

 drawing as large crowds as before and, 

 judging from the society news, many 

 dinners, parties, etc., are booked for the 

 near future. There has been an extra 

 heavy run on funeral work of late, it 

 being pretty well divided among the 

 trade. All this has tended to keep up 

 prices. 



Very few Beauties find their way into 

 this market. White roses are much in 

 demand, the best grades bringing from 

 $8 to $12 per hundred. In fact, all roses 

 are moving well. 



Carnations are arriving in larger quan- 

 tities, but so far have sold readily from 

 $2.50 to $3 per hundred, excepting Law- 

 son, which are a glut at $2 per hun- 

 dred. 



Violets are meeting with good de- 

 mand despite the fact that a local paper 

 recently spread the report that violets 

 are out of style. Asparagus plumosus is 

 at a premium, while Sprengeri is quite 

 plentiful. Smilax is also scarce. Tulips, 

 particularly yellow, and daffodils are 

 more than plentiful. 



Various Notes. 



The local growers are thoroughly dis- 

 gusted with Harrisii lilies and from 

 present threats there will be but few 

 grown in this vicinity next season. 



Jerome K. Stock is a busy man these 

 days. After completing a new floor he 

 intends to install a fine new ice-box. 



Gus H. Taepke contemplates the erec- 

 tion of three rose houses the coming 

 spring, each 28x175 feet. It is under- 

 stood that the Foley Mfg. Co. has the 

 contract for the material. Cypress 

 benches are to be used. 



B. Schroeter is receiving some fine 

 Brides and Maids from Van Bochove & 

 Bro., of Kalamazoo, Mich. 



John Klein and Miss Lempke, both at 

 Breitmeyer 's, have been on the sick list. 



H. S. 



ALLIANCE, OHIO. 



Harry Miller, of Salem, O,, and Austin 

 Cowgill, of this city, have purchased 

 the extensive greenhouse plant of Leroy 

 L. Lamborn on West Main street and 

 will continue the business under the 

 firm name of Miller & Cowgill. Mr. 

 Miller was formerly in the employ of 

 Mr. Lamborn, but for the past year has 

 been the proprietor of the Garfield ave- 

 nue greenhouses in Salem. Mr. Lam- 

 born, who has been in business in Alli- 

 ance for thirty-five years, will become 

 connected with a wholesale greenhouse 

 at Mt. Union.
