DETROIT. 



The Market 



St. Valentine's day created a big de- 

 mand for violets and cut flowers in gen- 

 eral. With the advent of Lent business 

 has quieted down some and with this 

 decrease in demand is the influx of bul- 

 bous stock, the result being a glut of 

 colored carnations, tulips, hyacinths, daf- 

 fodils, etc. White carnations and, in 

 fact, all white flowers keep well cleaned 

 up, owing to the large amount of fu- 

 neral work. 



Even though other stock is plentiful, 

 roses are not equal to the demand. The 

 Michigan Cut Flower Exchange is han- 

 dling some fine La Detroit. Short- 

 stemmed roses are scarce. 



Various Notes. 



Theodore Mitchell played the genial 

 host to a number of the younger mem- 

 bers of the club Tuesday evening, Feb- 

 ruary 12. 



S. S. Skidelsky spent several busy 

 days in and about Detroit recently. He 

 was much pleased with the appearance 

 of the Rose-pink Enchantress stock at 

 Schroeter's greenhouse. As a result of 

 the big demand Mr. Skidelsky has found 

 it necessary to refuse orders until those 

 already on hand are filled. 



If you have some chenille lying 

 around that has become soiled through 

 exposure to dust and dirt, take a coil at 

 a time and give it a good washing with 

 soap and water, rinse and hang up to 

 dry. It will come out as clean and soft 

 as when new. 



It has been rumored that a new store 

 is to be ojiened on Broadway in the 

 near future. 



E. A. Fetters is back in the city 

 again. 



A ridiculous adx-ertisement was recent- 

 ly seen in the Detroit daily papers. Jt 

 was inserted by the flor^ (itepar,tment 

 of one of the large drygoo^s stores and 

 ran in part as follows: "Carnations 35 

 cents per dozen. Only three dozen will 

 be sold to one customer, so as to keep 

 them out of the dealers' hands." 



M. Keller, of Reed & Keller, New 

 York, was a visitor last week, 



H. S. 



PouGHKEE?siE, N. Y. — James Cole- 

 man's boiler burst during the recent cold 

 spell and he lost a house of antirrhinums. 



Denver, Colo. — J. A. Valentine 

 reached home February 18 after a visit 

 to eastern growers following the carna- 

 tion meeting at Toronto. Among the 

 growers visited were those at New York, 

 Philadelphia, Richmond, Lafayette, Chi- 

 cago and Council Bluffs.
