DETROIT. 



The Market. 



So far spring has been here in name 

 only, the weather having been anything 

 but spring-like. Many of the stores have 

 had a heavy run on funeral work of late, 

 but aside from this there is little doing. 



A shortage of stock is apparent on all 

 sides, the cold weather having had its 

 effects on the crops. 



Long stemmed roses are at a premium ; 

 shorter grades are more plentiful, but 

 everything was cleaned up Saturday. 

 White carnations are unusually scarce; 

 colored stock is a little more plentiful. 

 Bulbous stock is thinning out, but many 

 hyacinths are being used in sprays for 

 funerals. Smilax is a scarce article, 

 with common ferns a close second. 



The Michigan Cut Flower Exchange 

 has someone busy all the time picking 

 over ferns; some bunches of twenty-five 

 have nothing but the string left after 

 the bad ferns are picked out. Many thou- 

 sands have been thrown out. 



Qub Meetin£. 



There was but a small attendance at 

 the last meeting of the Detroit Florists' 

 Club. George Eackham, the essayist of 

 the evening, was absent, owing to sick- 

 ness, but sent word that he will be pre- 

 pared May 1. His paper is entitled 

 "Wholesale and Retail." The meeting 

 was adjourned early in the evening. 



Various Notes. 



The advent of warmer weather has 

 brought forth the street faker in all his 

 glory, but, despite the fact that fairly 

 good stock is almost given away on the 

 streets, good prices are still holding their 

 own in the stores. The commission men 

 are using the fakers to good advantage 

 by unloading old, full blown roses upon 

 them. 



Mr. and Mrs. E. A. Fetters are in 

 Cleveland. 



A lecture on "Civic Improvement" 

 will be delivered by the lecturer of the 

 National Cash Register Co., under the 

 auspices of the Detroit Florists' Club, 



at Harmonic hall the evening of May 1. 

 There will be no admission fee and all 

 are welcome. 



Judge and Mrs. Vesey, of Fort Wayne, 

 Ind., were visitors last week. 



Frank Holznagle is cutting some ex 

 ceptionally fine Brides and Maids. Rich- 

 mond is also very fine with this firm. 



Wm. Hielscher's wire working force is 

 working overtime making hanging bas 

 kets. H. S. 



Hartford, Conx. — Clarence L. Sadd, 

 of Wapping, will break ground for two 

 large greenhouses on Burnside avenue, 

 just beyond the state rifle range, early 

 next month. 



Warwick, R. I. — Work is being 

 pushed on the splendid and extensive 

 block of houses being built on the estate 

 of Senator N. W. Aldrich, where F. C. 

 Green has charge. The Pierson U-Bar 

 Co. has the contract. Six houses will be 

 devoted to fruits, the balance to growing 

 plants and cut flowers.
