SUBJECT TO MARKET CHANGE. 



Mention The Review when you write. 



Kaiserin are seen, but the shorter grades 

 are scarce. 



Carnations are still a scarce article on 

 this market. From the appearance of 

 things at Mount Clemens, there should 

 be a better supplj soon. Many good 

 callas were seen at Bath City and 

 these will come handy for work. Easter 

 lilies are in good demand. Cosmos, snap- 

 dragon, pompons, etc., sell fairly well. 

 Oreen is plentiful. 



Variouf Notes. 



The Greek who ran a flower stand 

 for some time in the entrance to the 

 Majestic building has found the rent 

 too high and has vacated, going out of 

 the flower business entirely. 



Three of our hard workers were re- 

 membered by the boys last week. Just 

 before leaving the Breitmeyer establish- 

 ment, at Mount Clemens, last week, Sec- 

 retary Sullivan presented the retiring 

 president, Wm. Dilger, with a fine set 

 of German drawing instruments, on be- 

 half of the club members. Our secre- 



tary went on to say that there was no 

 harder worker in the whole club, and 

 no one who took more interest in its 

 welfare. He said that, although at times 

 the ex-president was rather gruff and 

 quick-tempered, still, this is but the out- 

 side. In the inside there is a heart as big 

 as that of an ox, and no one ever asked 

 a favor but what he received it, pro- 

 viding it were in Mr. Dilger 's power 

 to give it. 



The retiring president had a surprise 

 in store for J. F. Sullivan, in the form 

 of a fine solid gold watch. This also 

 was from his fellow club members, for 

 his untieing work for the club as sec- 

 retary for the last six years. Mr. Sul- 

 livan was about the most surprised man 

 the writer has ever seen; a photo of 

 him at the time would have been a 

 study. The watch has the recipient's 

 initials engraved on the outside. In- 

 side is the wording, "Detroit Florists' 

 Club,. November 1, 1907." 



Walter Taepke, our present treasurer, 

 in his second term, was also remembered 



by the members with a gold-mounted 

 fountain pen. Walter was, of course, 

 also much surprised, and when called 

 on for a speech he was just about able 

 to thank the boys. 



That mums of medium size are the 

 most popular can readily be seen. Most 

 of the growers have given up the large, 

 fancy varieties, as few people in this 

 city are willing to pay the price for 

 them. 



Breitmeyer 's had a large wedding 

 decoration at Grace church last week, 

 requiring several hundred yellow and 

 white mums, as well as a number of lilies 

 and cosmos. The pillars in the church 

 were banked up with autumn foliage 

 and Bostons. Down the center aisle, 

 fastened to the pews, were large bunches 

 of yellow mums representing torches, 

 the whole making an elaborate effect.
