DETROIT. 



The Market* 



The unseasonable weather is being felt 

 in all lines of business, the florists ' not 

 excepted. There was a decided lull in 

 business last week. Eoses are about 

 equal to the demand. Carnations are ar- 

 riving in fairly large shipments, the 

 quality is good and the price ranges 

 from 2 cents to 3 cents. Sweet peas 

 are arriving in large quantities, but 

 hardly enough to equal the demand. They 

 bring from 50 cents to 75 cents per hun- 

 dred. Ferns are of a better grade and 

 in larger supply than for some time. 

 The supply of sphagnum has about given 

 out in Detroit, bringing the price per 

 bale up to $2. 



Various Notes. 



The Detroit Cut Flower Supply House 

 is handling some fine sweet peas. 



On the night of May 2 about 200 ice 

 wagon drivers went on a strike for a raise 

 in wages from $17.50 per week to $19.50. 

 The dealers offered them a raise of $1 

 per week during the summer months. 

 This they refused, also refusing to arbi- 

 trate the question. Friday the dealers 

 called for a general lockout of about 

 500 drivers. No ice is being delivered, 

 but consumers sending to the ice-houses 

 for ice have not been molested by the 

 strikers. An early adjustment of the 

 trouble is expected. 



Norman Sullivan went to Toledo ^lay 

 3 with the Knights of Columbus bowling 

 team. 



David Byer has accepted a position 

 with the Wavne hotel for the summer. 



H.S. 



Des Moixes, Ia. — May 1 was the oc- 

 casion for a general cleaning up in this 

 city and nearly all florists and dealers 

 in articles used in outdoor work made 

 special prices for the day. 



Freeport, III. — In John Bauscher's 

 store, on the evening of April 26, while 

 Miss Bauscher was in the act of blacking 

 the hot stove, the plate of blacking ex- 

 ploded and set fire to the floor and coun- 

 ter. The blaze was extinguished, how- 

 ever, before it did much damage.
