The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



Decembeb 6, 1906. 



DETROIT. 



The Market 



A favorable report about business is 

 heard from all quarters. Thanksgiving 

 business was a little better than in 1905, 

 but it did not amount to enough to call 

 for a raise in prices. Most of the local 

 growers realized thi* last year. A few 

 tried to get a fancy price for carnations 

 this Thanksgiving, but found it would 

 not work. All the good stock on the 

 market sold well, and a few Enchantress 

 carnations brought $5 per hundred. The 

 few violets handled in this city were 

 sold by Thanksgiving noon. Good 

 flowers are at a premium at present. The 

 chrysanthemum season being practically 

 over, we must now fall back on carna- 

 tions and roses. Some varieties of mums 

 are unusually late this year, and, if good 

 flowers, they meet with ready sale. Koses 

 are nothing extra; the Bridesmaids are 

 off color. Carnations are the most sat- 

 isfactory flowers at present. A great 

 many Khinebeck violets are seen. Most 

 of the violets grown in this vicinity are 

 singles. Paper White narcissi and Eo- 

 mans have again put in their appear- 

 ance, but do not sell readily. Eomans 

 are almost too expensive to use in fu- 

 neral work. Cosmos and valley are daily 

 arrivals, as a great many of the latter 

 are used. 



Various Notes. 



The Michigan Cut Flower Exchange 

 is handling some extra fine Enchantress. 

 They have long, stiff stems and are per- 

 fect flowers, the product of Robert 

 Klagge's greenhouses. 



Herman Dasher, of Ecorse, Mich., is 

 branching out into the florist's business. 

 The first two houses are in course of 

 construction, 20x90 and 10x90 respec- 



tivclv* 



Albert Sylvester, of the Michigan Cut 

 Flower Exchange, has just received a 

 visit from the stork. It is a girl.

 lot of cyclamen.

 Wire Works, reports a steady increase 

 over last year's business.
