The Weekly Florists' Review* 



OCTOBBR 17, 1©07. 



^ - DETROIT. ' -r ' ' 



The Market 



Business was considerably enlivened 

 last week. There was more funeral work 

 than before. The demand for flowers for 

 parties, receptions, etc., is also increas- 

 ing with the coming of cooler weather. 



The market keeps well cleaned up on 

 all stock. Beauties are selling well. 

 Very few find their way to the local 

 commission houses, as none are grown 

 for the wholesale market in this vicinity. 

 Koses meet with a ready sale. The best 

 stock at present is Kaiserin, Bride, 

 Bridesmaid, Richmond, Meteor and La 

 Detroit. The La Detroit is growing 

 smaller in size, but still sells well. 



Chrysanthemums are selling fast. 

 There was a good demand for white and 

 pink for funeral sprays. Yellow was 

 also in big demand, as yellow and black 

 are the colors of the Tigers, who won 

 the American League pennant. Mums 

 are bringing from $1 to $2.50 per dozen. 



Carnations are arriving in fairly large^ 

 quantities, but, the demand being good,'' 

 all are disposed of at prices ranging 

 from $1 per hundred up. Enchantress, 

 white, red, etc., is of fairly long stem, 

 but Lawson is still short. 



Very fine valley arrives daily from 

 MounC Clemens and Canada. Smilaz, 

 ferns, asparagus, fancy ferns and south- 

 ern smilaz are plentiful. 



Variout Notes. 



I presume that by this time the whole 

 world knows that the Cubs defeated the 

 Tigers for the world's baseball cham- 

 pionship. This is a sad story, but we 

 still have the American Lea^e pen- 

 nant, and in honor of the event the city 

 of Detroit presented the players with a 

 huge tiger made of flowers. W. B. 

 Brown was the artist 'and he did his 

 work well. The body of the tiger was 

 over six feet long. It required in the 

 neighborhood of 800 mums to cover the 

 frame. The head was of papier-mache 

 and this was also partly covered with 

 flowers. The black stripes were produced 

 with black immortelles. The whol^ was 

 mounted upon a large platform covered 

 with sod. 



Many palms, ferns and other plants 

 are being sold, now that the people are 

 coming back to winter quarters. 



Howard W, Metz, of the firm of C. H. 

 Fisk, Chicago, was in this city last week, 

 attending to the burial of his mother, 

 who died in the east at the ripe age of 

 90 years. 



J. Gammage, of London, Ont., paid 

 this city a visit last week. H. S.
