The Weekly Florists' Review^ 



Jakuart 16, 1908. 



DETROIT. 



The Market 



The general business report for the 

 first half of January is good. In most 

 instances it is ahead of the same period 

 in 1907. 



Roses and carnations clean up nicely, 

 carnations at from $2 to $4 per hun- 

 dred. Some exceptionally fine La De- 

 troit and White Enchantress being han- 

 dled by the Michigan Cut Flower Ex- 

 change are in big demand. 



Violets have not been moving very 

 readily since the holidays. The price 

 has dropped down to $1 and $1.50 per 

 hundred. 



Bulbous stock, consisting mainly of 

 tulips, daffodils and Roman hyacinths, 

 is a glut. 



Several large decorations have created 

 an unusually heavy demand for southern 

 smilaz. 



Various Notes. 



J. F. Sullivan was laid up with the 

 grippe for over a week. Mr. Sullivan's 

 housekeeper, who has been with the 

 family for a number of years, died of 

 pneumonia last week. 



B. Schroeter had several decorations 

 for the B. & M. I. U., which was hold- 

 ing a convention in Detroit. 



JIugo Schroeter has been out of com- 

 mission several weeks, owing to sick- 

 ness. While he has been suffering from 

 a severe cold himself, his wife has been 

 laid up with the grippe. H. S. <
