DETROIT. 



The Market 



A steady flow of business has kept the 

 market pretty well cleaned up. Koses, 

 carnations and in fact all flowers are 

 very good. 



The boys are all very glad that Easter 

 with all its trials and tribulations is over, 

 and before long we will find them head 

 over heels in outdoor work. 



Qub Meeting. 



Easter trade was thoroughly discussed 

 at the Detroit Florists' Club's last meet- 

 ing. The sale of potted plants was re- 

 ported as having been exceptionally 

 heavy. The lateness of Easter and the 

 warm weather were given as the main 

 reasons, it being easier to persuade peo- 

 ple to buy plants when the trees com- 

 mence to leaf than in wintry weather. 

 In cut flowers, violets were of fine qual- 

 ity and sold very well. Sweet peas also 

 found a ready market. Roses were very 

 good, but the money made on violets 

 was lost on roses and carnations, as 

 neither of these sold well. Spring flow- 

 ers sold fairly well, but the inclination 

 toward buying bloomiiig plants seems 

 more noticeable each year. 



During the evening the remark was 

 made that the retailers are too extrava- 

 gant in the use of boxes, fancy cords, 

 foil, etc.. one grower averring a tendency 

 toward lowering the market price of cut 

 flowers. Quite a discussion followed, 

 during which the growers were shown 

 that the retail man is just as anxious to 

 keep down his expenses as anyone, but 

 that competition and the demands of the 

 better class of trade are responsible for 

 this seeming extravagance. 



Secretary J. F. Sullivan was instruct- 

 ed to write Mayor Codd congratulating 

 him as well as the city of Detroit in hav- 

 ing secured so capable a man as Philip 

 Breitnieyer for park commissioner. The 

 secretary was also instructed to write 

 Mr. Dreitmeyer on behalf of the club 

 congratulating him on his appointment 

 and the help of .so able an assistant as 

 Wm. Dilger. 



J. Oooding and F. J. Wells, both of 

 Mount Clemens, were elected members. 



The entertainment committee was in- 

 structed to make a report at the next 

 meeting in regard to the club 's outing. 

 Quite a freak in the shape of a carna- 

 tion was exhibited by E. A. Kuhnke, of 

 Toledo,
