The Weekly Ftorists* Review. 



February 20, 1908. 



DETROIT. 



The Market 



Business for Valentine's day exceeded 

 all expectations. Violets sold much bet- 

 ter than last year, probably owing to the 

 better quality of the flowers. There was 

 a good demand for flowers of all kinds. 

 Blooming plants sold remarkably well. 

 The weather up to Thursday was all 

 that could be expected, but on Friday 

 the weather man went back on the flo- 

 rists. It rained all day, and if you add 

 to this a lot of thawing snow you can 

 well imagine the effect on business. It 

 was just like putting on the lid. 



Business in general has been satisfac- 

 tory. There is considerable funeral work. 

 Roses about equal the demand. Carna- 

 tions are still a little too plentiful. Con- 

 siderable bulbous stock is arriving. 



Various Notes. 



A water main burst in front of G. 

 H. Taepke 's Gratiot avenue store about 6 

 o'clock in the evening of February 12. 

 The car tracks and sidewalks on that 

 side of the street were undermined and 

 the street was turned into a veritable 

 river for some time. The water in Mr. 

 Taepke 's store was about five inches deep, 

 "but as the floor is of tile and there is no 

 basement it caused little damage. Some 

 business, of course, was lost through the 

 accident, as it was necessary to close off 

 that side of the street for nearly a whole 

 day. 



J. F. Sullivan is again back at the 

 store, after being absent nearly six weeks. 

 The St. Valentine's business at his place 

 was exceptionally good. 



J. H. Smith, proprietor of Peter Smith 

 & Sons' grocery, is building four green- 

 houses in East Sandwich, Ontario. Two 

 of the houses are to be devoted to vege- 

 tables and two to growing flowers. Mr. 

 Smith has about seventy-five acres of 

 land and intends to erect more houses 

 from time to time. The J. C. Moninger 

 Co. has the contract. 



The Detroit Cut Flower Supply House 

 reports a good St. Valentine's business. 

 About twice as many violets could have 

 been disposed of if they could have been 

 procured. 



Every Monday about 8,000 to 15,000 

 rooted cuttings of Winsor, W. Enchant- 

 ress, Beacon, etc., are shipped broad- 

 east over the countrv by B. Schroeter. 



H. S. 



Rock Island, III. — Ludwig Stapp is 

 preparing to build a new house for car- 

 nations during the coming summer. It 

 will be the first wide house ever built 

 here, the dimensions being 51x160.
