The Weekly Florists' Review* 



Mat 30, 1907. 



DETROIT. 



The Market 



Business remains about as reported 

 last week. There seems to be little do- 

 ing except in the line of funeral work, 

 and not enough of this to go around. 

 The weather is still anything but pleas- 

 ant. The few warm days we have had 

 have nearly always ended in a heavy 

 frost at night. Up to the present time 

 there are few orders booked for June 

 weddings. 



Considerable stock arrives daily, but 

 is usually cleaned up by evening. Much 

 stock is shipped to the small neighbor- 

 ing towns. The quality of the stock is 

 good. Some good Kaiserin and La De- 

 troit roses come in handy. Sweet peas 

 are arriving in large quantities and are 

 of good quality, selling readily at 75 

 cents. The first Micnigan peonies put 

 in their appearance May 24. Much ex- 

 cellent Canadian valley is sold in this 

 market. 



Various Notes. 



Owing to the backwardness of the 

 weather, there has been little done in 

 the way of planting outdoors up to the 

 present writing. In former years the 

 work was always about completed by 

 Decoration day. 



August Von Boeselager, of Mount 

 Clemens, is the proud father of a bounc- 

 ing baby girl. This means cigars at the 

 next club meeting. 



J. H. Berry, the capitalist, died at his 

 Grosse Pointe home Wednesday, May 22. 

 It will be remembered that Mr. Berry 

 was a lover of flowers, particularly or- 

 chids, of which he had a fine collection. 

 For the present there will be no changes 

 made at the greenhouses, where Henry 

 Fruck is in charge. 



The Detroit Cut Flower Supply House 

 is handling some fine Brides and Brides- 

 maids, grown by the Pontiac Floral Co. 



Boxwood trees, Buxus sempervirens, 

 sell like hot waflfles in Detroit. 



Robert Eahaly, of the Michigan Cut 

 Flower Exchange, had an exceptionally 

 heavy Decoration day business. H. S. 



Columbus, O. — A. C. Smith, R. B. 

 Smith, E. L. Zimmerman, E. E. Barber 

 and J. B. Kahle have incorporated the 

 A. C. Smith Floral Co., with a capital 

 stock of $10,000.
