DETROIT. 



The Market. 



Business is good and all stoek re- 

 mains well cleaned up excepting some 

 poorer grades of violets. All grades of 

 roses move rapidly. Pink stock is quite 

 scarce. Prices range from $5 to $14 

 per hundred. Many orchids are being 

 used in funeral work. Carnations are 

 arriving in fairly large quantities, but 

 remain well cleaned up. About one-third 

 of the carnations are Enchantress, and 

 these are mostly of excellent quality and 

 sell readily. Many Paper White nar- 

 cissi are used. Bomans are too high- 

 priced to be used freely, although many 

 are seen. Sweet peas sell well at $1 

 and $1.50 per hundred. Cold storage 

 lilies, valley, callas, daffodils, etc., sell 

 fast; in fact, any good flower sells. 

 Single and the smaller double violets 

 bring from 50 cents to 75 cents, while 

 the eastern ones bring $1.50 per hun- 

 dred.

DALLAS, TEX. 



Floriculture in the South. 



The most striking example of the un- 

 usual boom in the growing of cut flowers 

 in the south is the success made by Col. 

 E. H. B. Green. Colonel Green has en- 

 gaged successfully in the railroad busi- 

 ness, in baseball, in chicken raising, poli- 

 tics and automobiling, but he declares 

 that none of these diversions pay so 

 large a return on the investment as does 

 the flower business. 



The Green Floral Co. started in busi- 

 ness at Terrell five years ago. Beady 

 sale of stoek indicated a lucrative busi- 

 ness if handled properly. Two years ago 

 Terrell w.is outgrown and Colonel Green

 Dallas. 



Three miles south of the city he has 

 the largest and most complete system of 

 greenhouses south of Chicago. A large 

 force of workmen are now building ad- 

 ditional greenhouses. Colonel Green 

 has twenty-seven acres devoted to the 

 business and several acres are under 

 glass. The plant is heated by steam. 



' ' We have been overwhelmed with or- 

 ders since we first began to put our 

 stoek pn the market, ' ' said Colonel 

 Green. "We have been gradually in- 

 creasing our output, yet we are getting 

 still further behind the demand. It is 

 estimated that Texas does a flower busi- 

 ness valued at about $400,000 a year.

the great demand and the output will 

 compare with the other big cities. ' ' 



The following expressions were given 

 by the local florists: 



John E. Lomas : * ' From present pros- 

 pects and the rate of increase in our 

 business for the year 1906 I regard the 

 future as holding out much encourage- 

 ment to the florists of this city. I can 

 safely say that 1906 was at least fifty 

 per cent better than 3905. Present con- 

 ditions are in every respect satisfac- 

 tory. ' '

 of Dallas this has been a very successful
