DETROIT* 



The Market. 



The wave of prosperity which struck 

 this city shortly before Christmas was 

 still with us December 31. All the 

 available good flowers were disposed of 

 at good prices. 



Eoses met with good demand. Many 

 thousands of violets were disposed of by 

 some of the stores. Plants were in good 

 demand. All of the good stock not 

 cleaned up on Christmas was readily 

 disposed of for New Year's. In fact, 

 blooming plants have been selling well 

 all along. The popularity of Boston 

 ferns is by no means dying out, as the 

 recent sales will prove. 



Since the holidays roses, carnations, 

 valley, violets, etc, have been moving 

 nicely. Considerable bulbous stock has 

 already appeared, namely. Paper "Whites, 

 Boman hyacinths and daffo(Uls. Many 

 daffodils were disposed of at New Year 's. 

 Poinsettias were pretty well cleaned up 

 during the holidays. There is plenty of 

 green on the market. Stevia has been 

 m big demand. 



Various Notes. 



A peek into the reception room of one 

 of the season's debutantes in the city 

 will reveal the fact that it is perfectly 

 nseless to try to educate the public aa 

 to what is artistic in the way of bou- 

 quets. Seventy-five per cent of the peo- 

 ple want the old-fashioned, stiff, crowd- 

 ed-up style of bouquet, such as anyone 

 can make up without much practice. 

 Well, perhaps it is a good thing for the 

 florist. It gives him a chance to get 

 fancy prices for short stock of all kinds. 

 Wire takes the place of long stems, and 

 a lavish use of stevia or green covers all. 



A streak of hard luck put rather a 

 damp finish to the year of 1907 in J. F. 

 Sullivan's store. The night of Decem- 

 ber 30 some careless person left the fau- 

 cet open on the third floor of the build- 

 ing. In the morning the newly decoratojd 

 ceiling was ruined. Over a foot of water 

 came through from above, penetrating 

 every nook and corner, and it will take 

 some time before books, boxes, clothes, 

 etc., will have lost the appearance of 

 having gone through a flood. 



W. B. Brown is sporting a flne new 

 delivery wagon, with rubber tires and 

 all the rest. 



Beard Bros, furnished some chrysan- 

 themums as late as January 1. 



Jerome K. Stock has a valuable nov- 

 elty in the form of a pure white, double 

 flowering snapdragon. It is from a seed- 

 ling of his own. He has been watching 

 it carefully for about two years and 

 now has considerable stock. H. S.
