The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



NOVBMBHR 21, 1007. 



DETROIT. 



The Market. 



There is little of special interest to tell 

 concerning business last week. Of course 

 some have been rather busy decorating, 

 but the business in general has been 

 dull. Many of the florists are complain- 

 ing of trouble in making collections. 



The football game at Ann Arbor creat- 

 ed a big demand for yellow mums 

 the latter part of the week, as pale 

 blue and gold are the colors of the 

 U. of M. The Michigan Cut Flower 

 Exchange alone shipped about 500 to 

 Ann Arbor. 



While the good chrysanthemums re- 

 main well cleaned up in all colors, the 

 poorer stock is piling up; in fact, there 

 seems to be a scarcity of good stock 

 this year. The stock of roses is about 

 equal to the demand. Some fine Brides 

 and Maids are arriving from Pontiac 

 and Mount Clemens. With carnations 

 it is about the same as with the mums; 

 the good stuff sells at sight, while the 

 poor remains for the fakers. Some fine 

 ferns, this year's galax and fine leu* 

 cothoe are on the market and meet with 

 a ready demand. 



Various Notes. 



Schroeter's beautiful display of or- 

 chids in the window attracted so much 

 attention that it was rearranged for an- 

 other week. 



The Breitmeyers had their annual 

 chrysanthemum show November 14 to 16. 

 Their intention was to hold the show 

 this week, but having several large dec- 

 orations on hand which would take all 

 their time, the date was changed on short 

 notice. For this reason the display of 

 mums was not as elaborate from a 

 florist 's point of view as in former years, 

 but still they had a fine display of the 

 beet stock to be had, and it attracted 

 much attention. Some very neat engage- 

 ment books were distributed to the vis- 

 itors. 



G. H. Taepke had his hands full v?ith 

 funeral work for the funeral of Mrs. 

 Katherine Waltz. Mrs. Waltz died at 

 the age of 74 years. She was the widow 

 of Frederick Waltz, one of Detroit's 

 first florists, and the mother of Mrs. 

 Taepke and Mrs. M. Flammer. 



Henry Ferguson, aged 12 years, died 

 suddenly at the home of his father, An- 

 drew Ferguson, November 12. The fu- 

 neral took place the following Thurs- 

 day. Among the floral offerings was a 

 large piece from the Detroit Florists' 

 Club. 



The large conservatory at Belle Isle 

 is attracting much attention with a beau- 

 tiful display of chrysanthemums. There 

 is hardly an hour in the day but what 

 some customer remarks about this an- 

 nual exhibition of flowers, and this goes 

 to show that the flower lovers take an 

 interest in such exhibits. H. S.
