The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



April 19, 1906. 



DETROIT. 



The Easter Business. 



Reports of an exceptionally good Eas- 

 ter business are beard all over town. 

 Up to Friday evening the weather was 

 exceptionally fine and tended to start 

 the buying earlier than usual. Satur- 

 day and Sunday we had cloudy weather 

 with an occasional shower. This hurt 

 the cut flower sales a great deal. 



Violets were exceptionally good for 

 this season and sold away beyond all ex- 

 pectations. Roses were also very good, 

 but did not find a ready market. Carna- 

 tions showed evidence of pickling, and as 

 a result did not give satisfaction to cus- 

 tomers. Lilies, both cut and in pots, 

 sold very well, as did all potted plants, 

 especially azaleas, ramblers, lilacs, etc. 



Now that Lent is over, parties, recep- 

 tions, weddings, etc., will have a tendency 

 to add a little variety to business, as 

 lately it has all been funeral work. 

 Stock in general is very good. 



Various Notes. 



Fred E. Walker, formerly head gar- 

 dener at the Eastern Michigan Asylum, 

 and who last summer gained national no- 

 toriety through being mistreated by offi- 

 cers of the government at Panama, has 

 been appointed manager of the Michigan 

 State Prison farm at Jackson. Mr. 

 Walker will also have charge of the 

 ' prison greenhouses. 



During Easter week E. A. Fetters' 

 window was very tastefully decorated, an 

 immense cross of boxwood studded with 

 lilies and having as a base an assort- 

 ment of foliage plants, forming a very 

 pretty background. 



Philip Breitmeyer has been appointed 

 park and boulevard commissioner, to suc- 

 ceed Robert xj. Bolger. This will place 

 Mr. Breitmeyer in complete charge of 

 all the public parks and boulevards in 

 this city, and with the able assistance of 

 Wm. Dilger, who is to act as his assist- 

 ant, our parks, already well known for 

 their attractiveness, will become doubly 

 so. At present the new commissioner 

 will be somewhat handicapped, as the 

 former one refuses to accept his dis- 

 charge, as also do some of his subordi- 

 nates. • H. S. 



BoQNE, Ia. — Martin J. Lockard has 

 branched out in business, has put in a 

 handsome refrigerator and now carries 

 a good line of cut flowers. 



Johnstown, Pa. — Traugott Malbrane 

 secured G. A. R. hall for his Easter dis- 

 play of plants, his store opposite the 

 City hall being entirely inadequate.

PEOPLE who know a good thing when ther see it, and will take advantage 

 of the same, must be possessed with gooo jud^ent and are generally sac- 

 cessfnl. One of onr successful growers has this year taken out 6000 feet of 

 wooden gutters, which were only 5 years old, and replaced the same with 6000 feet of 

 the GARLAND IRON GUTTER, this being his fifth annual order. 



Onr long list of orders of this kind is our best reference. By writing any of 

 the large growers at Chicago yon will confer a favor on the
