DETROIT, 



The Market 



I think I am safe in saying that 

 Christmas business was away ahead of 

 expectations. There was a big demand 

 for plants of all kinds at good prices. 



There was a scarcity of roses of all 

 kinds. Carnations were plentiful; the 

 price ranged from 4 cents to 8 cents. 

 Violets were also in good supply; the 

 demand for them up to the present writ- 

 ing has been good. Contrary to my last 

 report, holly and ground pine were a 

 scarce article by Christinas. The supply 

 of holly was not nearly equal to the do« 

 mand. 



Qub Meeting. 



The last regular meeting of the De- 

 troit Florists' Club was held Wednes- 

 day, December 18. About one-third of 

 the members were in attendance. 



A lengthy discussion was held con- 

 cerning the advisability of giving a fall 

 or spring flower show. The matter was 

 finally left in the hands of a committee 

 of six. This committee is to be appoint- 

 ed by the president and the names are 

 not known as yet. 



There will be no meeting January 1. 

 The next regular meeting will be held 

 Wednesday, January 15.
