The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



\Ubch 14, 1907. 



DETROIT. 



ThcMaAct 



Busiuess remains fairly good, but the 

 market is glutted with colored carnations 

 and a variety of bulbous stock. 



A few years ago few orchids were 

 used in this city, but they became more 

 in vogue from year to year and this win- 

 ter played an important part in the 

 daily program of the leading retailers. 



Beauties are scarce. A fair supply 

 of other roses is arriving daily, but they 

 remain well cleaned up. White carna- 

 tions are just about equal to the de- 

 mand. An attempt was made to clean 

 up the colored stock by selling on the 

 street, but the weather was unfavorable. 

 Smilax is exceedingly scarce. Common 

 ferns are arriving in fair supply, but the 

 stock is poor. 



Qub Meeting. 



The last regular meeting of the De- 

 troit Florists' Club was held March 6. 

 After the regular routine of business, a 

 paper, entitled "My Experience in Car- 

 nation Growing" was read by A. J. 

 Stahelin. The paper was well received 

 and brought forth quite a discussion. 

 Mr. Stahelin was given a vote of thanks. 



The question of having to deliver 

 flowers at the back door of apartment 

 houses was talked over. Some of the 

 members claimed they had given their 

 drivers and boys instructions not to go 

 around to the rear, as flowers were not 

 for the kitchen, but for the lady of the 

 house. This is one way of looking at it, 

 but if our customers insist on it, we 

 must, if we care for their patronage, 

 abide by their wishes. 



A spring flower show is on for the 

 next meeting night, March 20. Mr. 

 Unger, of Belle Isle, has promised to 

 make an exhibit of some unusually fine 



cinerarias. 



Various Notes. 



After adjournment of the meeting 

 March 6 the majority of the members 

 of the club betook themselves to a nearby 

 refreshment parlor and enjoyed the hos- 

 pitality of Albert Pochelon, it being the 

 occasion of his birthday. 



Sunday visitors to the horticultural 

 buildings at Belle Isle are pleased with 

 the unusually fine collection of ciner- 

 arias. 



The decorations for spring openings 

 have created a big demand for blooming 

 plants. Schroeter is busy getting ready 

 for the spring opening of Newcomb, 

 Endicott & Co. H. S. 



Lexington, Ky. — Invitations are out 

 for the opening of the new store of 

 Honaker the Florist March 19.
