The Weekly Florists' Review. 



Jolt 11, 1907. 



DETROIT. 



The Market 



In my last report I stated that busi- 

 ness was dull. Well, it was at the time 

 of writing, but took on an unusual spurt 

 on Monday, July 1, lasting all the week. 

 With some of : the help away on vaca- 

 tions, most of the florists had about all 

 they could handle in the way of funeral 

 work. 



The condition of stock remains about 

 the same as last reported. Brides and 

 Maids are small and in most cases are 

 damaged by thrips. Carnations, of 

 course, are plentiful; the quality is still 



food. Sweet peas also are abundant, 

 'he white and lavender kinds meet with 

 a good demand; pink also sell readily, 

 but as many more are grown, some go to 

 waste. Centaurea, larkspur, coreopsis, 

 gypsophila, etc., help to swell the bill. 

 Green stuff is not any too plentiful. 



Various Notes. 



Wm. Dilger's nephew, of Chicago, on 

 the way home from the east, is visiting 

 with Mr. Dilger on Belle Isle. 



Harry J. Hunter, city forester, is busy 

 about the parks, spraying trees with ar- 

 senate of lead as a -protection against 

 moths. 



B. Schroeter has been having an un- 

 usually large amount of funeral work 

 for this season of the year. 



Bruno Schroeter, Jr., has left for Ann 

 Arbor to take a summer course in chem- 

 istry, preparatory to taking a course in 

 engineering. 



Wm.. Brown reports a busy week. He 

 also states that it would have been neces- 

 sary to hire extra help but for the as-- 

 sistance of his son, who is rapidly ac- 

 quiring the tricks of the trade. 



The writer is glad to report that, as 

 far as he knows, none of our friends 

 are carrying around any of the scars of 

 battle from the Fourth of July celebra- 

 tions. H. S. 



Lawton, Okla. — W. H. Hornaday's 

 greenhouses were badly damaged recent- 

 ly by a hail storm. Fully h-alf d carload 

 of glass will be needed to make the re- 

 pairs. The plants were but slightly in- 

 jured. 



LiBEBTY, Ind. — W. N. Tharp, propri- 

 etor of the City Garden, has entered into 

 partnership with Joseph E. Cully, and the 

 new firm will enlarge its facilities for 

 business by building a vegetable bouse, 

 23x139 feet.
