The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



September 19, 1907. 



DETROIT. 



The Market. 



We have been having our Indian siun- 

 nior and it is probably for that reason 

 tliat business has not picked up as it 

 should this season of the year. Still, in- 

 dications are that before long things will 

 he rushing again. Many people are drop- 

 ping in to make inquiries in regard to 

 j)rifes Tor wedding decorations, and one 

 or the other of the florists will surely get 

 these jobs. Funeral work, also, seems to 

 be be^x>ming more plentiful. 



The condition of the market remains 

 about the same. About the best thing in 

 roses is Kaiserin and Killarney — for 

 those fortunate enough to have some. 

 The La Detroits on this market at pres- 

 ent are badly affected with mildew ; so 

 much so tliat the foliage is next to use- 

 less. Carnations are coming along nicely. 

 Some fairly good ones are arriving daily. 

 The white are still small, but Enchantress, 

 rose-pink PJnchantress and Lawson are 

 of j>retty good size. Asters are arriving 

 in altogether too large quantities for the 

 good of the growers. Many hundreds 

 nuist find their way to the waste pile. 

 Even the white ones are overplentiful. 



Varioui Notes. 



J. F. Sullivan is still at large. His es- 

 tablishment is cutting daily a large num- 

 ber of fine Killarney ros^s, which come 

 handy. 



Mr. Dykes has just passed through De- 

 troit and reports business as being good. 

 Not only is his business prosperous, but 

 tiie florists all along the line, he says, 

 liad a good summer season. 



B. Schroeter has just completed a new 

 front on his store. Tliis gives him much 

 more window sj)ace, as well as light in 

 the store. 



There is much complaint among the 

 retailers of this city against the lateness 

 of the arrival of the Mount Clemens cut. 

 As this usually does not arrive until 

 about 11:30, it puts the store men to 

 nuich inconvenience, as well as making 

 many disappointed customers. About 

 two-thirds of the retailers rely on these 

 shipments for their day's supply and the 

 better part of the day is wasted before 

 stock arrives. 



Our friend, Robert Watson, is in hard 

 luck. A contractor who built a cellar 

 for him, and has already received his 

 check from Mr. Watson, failed to pay 

 for the brick used and now the company 

 supplying the brick has put a lien on Mr. 

 Watson's property for something like 

 •tS"). In other words, Mr. Watson will 

 have to pay for the bricks twice.
