DETROIT. 



The Market 



It is rather too early to be able to go 

 into details about the Christmas trade, 

 but we can say that it certainly was 

 good with everyone. 



Roses were exceedingly scarce. What 

 there were on the market brought good 

 prices for this city, about $15 per hun- 

 dred for the best. Carnations arrived in 

 larger quantities at the last moment 

 than was at first expected, but still not 

 enough to meet the demand. The stock 

 was good and ranged in price from $5 to 

 .$8 per hundred. Poinsettias went well 

 at from $3 to $3.50 per dozen, wholesale. 

 The grade of these beautiful flowers 

 varies much. Some are grown right and 

 keep remarkably well, while others look 

 like a dishrag on a busy day. 



Many eastern violets are handled in 

 Detroit, as well as many singles and some 

 few doubles grown in this vicinity. The 

 price for Christmas was $2.50 per hun- 

 dred for either variety. Valley is prov- 

 ing a good substitute for violets, and 

 many thousands were sold. The price 

 was $4 to $5 per hundred. Many orchids 

 were also sold. Narcissi, daffodils, Ro- 

 mans, sweet peas and a few stray mums 

 completed the stock. Smilax is plenti- 

 ful. 



Qub Meeting. 



The last meeting of the club was well 

 attended considering the busy times. The 

 paper by Robert Flowerday having been 

 postponed until January, there was little 

 done. Philip Breitmeyer held the floor 

 for some time, giving a talk on Christ- 

 mas preparations. He spoke mainly of 

 the importance of keeping up prices. 



January 2 will be "Christmas trade 

 discussion. ' ' 



Various Notes. 



George Leadley, formerly at 245 Wood- 

 ward avenue, is defendant in a suit 

 started by Louis Knauss to have a prop- 

 erty trade declared void. Mr. Knauss 

 says he exchanged a flat at Jefferson 

 avenue and Riopelle street with Leadley 

 for the latter 's business, but now wants 

 his property back. He declares that the 

 books were "fixed" to show net profits 

 in 1905 of about $7,000 and charges that 

 he was imposed upon. The business, he 

 contends, is not now on a paying basis. 

 Judge Hosmer has issued a temporary 

 restraining order preventing Leadley 

 from encumbering or disposing of the 

 property. Mr. Knauss is a well-liked 

 and respected German fellow citizen. 

 When he bought Leadley out he placed 

 his daughter, Mrs. C. P. Cox, in charge 

 of the store.

 second edition of Scott's Florists' Manual, and request that vou enter our order
