The Weekly Ronsts' Review* 



December 20, 1906. 



DETROIT. 



The Market 



There is an unusual activity in the 

 trade, as all are looking forward to a 

 banner Christmas business. A stretch of 

 dark weather, the worst kind for bring- 

 ing out blooming plants and cut flowers, 

 has made stock scarce. As is usual at 

 this season of the year, there is con- 

 siderable funeral work and white flowers 

 are wanted. 



Boses and carnations are at a pre- 

 mium. Extra fine Bridesmaids are 

 bringing from $4 to $12.50 per hundred. 

 Although but few Beauties are handled 

 by our local commission-houses, still large 

 shipments are received daily at the down- 

 town stores from outside growers. 



Carnations bring from $2.50 to $5, for 

 the quality of stock varies a great deal. 

 Many growers send in fine large blooms, 

 but weak stems. The best outside stock 

 comes from Mount Clemens, some of the 

 Enchantress being unusually fine. 



Chrysanthemums, though reported a 

 thing of the past in the last issue, are 

 still hanging on and we will have mums 

 through the holidays. Yanoma, Arline, 

 Chadwick, white and yellow Jerome Jones 

 are still in the ring. The whites move 

 fast, but this can hardly be said of the 

 yellows. 



Violets are scarce and most likely will 

 be away up in price for Christmas. Val- 

 ley is used in large quantities, for 

 corsages, debutante bouquets, funerals, 

 etc. Stevia, cosmos, Eoman hyacinths 

 and narcissi sell well. Poinsettias seem 

 plentiful. Owing to the unfavorable 

 weather, azaleas are scarce. All the 

 stores are well supplied with poinset- 

 tias in pots, cyclamens, cherries, prim- 

 roses, and the usual run of palms and 

 ferns. 



Various Notes. 



Louis Busk has received many orders 

 for ground pine garlands from the local 

 florists. 



Clyde Chase, of Schroeter's, picks up 

 many an odd dollar through his ability 

 as a musician. 



August Von Boeselager, of Mount 

 Clemens, is shipping some of the finest 

 carnations seen in this vicinity. A white, 

 Moonlight, is especially fine. H. S. 



Fargo, N. D.— Prof. Waldron, of the 

 State Agricultural College, while at Chi- 

 cago to attend the stock show, visited a 

 number of greenhouse establishments 

 and formed definite ideas of what the 

 college needs in the shape of two new 

 greenhouses it is hoped the legislature 

 will provide money for.
