best in, which is a soil containing a 

 large proportion of peat. In most cases, 

 however, there is but little difficulty in 

 obtaining a supply of leaf-mold, which 

 is a good substitute for peat for rhodo- 

 dendrons. A still more satisfactory soil 

 for rhododendrons is made from leaf- 

 mold and well rotted manure in equal pro- 

 portions, which, when dug into the soil 

 where the plants are to be, will help 

 greatly in their well-doing. 



Jt will also help these plants, if neither 

 peat nor any other suitable soil had been 

 used Avhen they were planted, to lightly 

 fork in a liberal quantity of leaf-mold 

 and well rotted nmnure early in the 

 spring, and if there is a superfluity of 

 this material at hand it will benefit the 

 j)lants wonderfully to put a layer over 

 the surface and leave it there untouched, 

 to form a mulch. M. 



DETROIT. 



The Market 



Monday is usually about the best day 

 of the week with the retailers in this 

 city, but last Monday was an exception. 

 There was but little funeral work and 

 this caused the dullness. 



Roses are hardly equal to the demand, 

 but carnations are piling up. While the 

 demand for carnations is by no means 

 small, every one seems, to have an 

 exceptionally heavy crop coming on. 



Much bulbous stock is on the market 

 and considerable is going to waste. About 

 the only article that sells as well as 

 ever is ferns. The Michigan Cut Flower 

 Exchange shipped in the neighborhood 

 of 600,000 or 700,000 fancy ferns last 

 January. Southern smilax meets with 

 a good demand. 



' Various Notes. 



Frank Danzer is on duty again. A 

 bad fall on a slippery walk a few weeks 

 ago resulted in a lay-up for a few weeks. 



Schroeter had a big call for spring 

 flowers for a large wedding decoration 

 last Tuesday. 



J. F. Sullivan is again confined to 

 his bed. Since the first of the year he 

 has not been able to attend to business, 

 being laid up most of the time. 



S. S. Skidelsky has just sent to B. 

 Schroeter an order for another 1,000 

 rooted cuttings of Winsor, to go to Rob- 

 ert Klagge, at Mount Clemens. This 

 beautiful carnation is a favorite with 

 the growers in the Bath City. 



With the president, secretary and some 

 of the other regidars on the sick list 

 and car service badly crippled by a 

 blizzard, it is no wonder that there wsis 

 nothing doing the night of the last meet- 

 ing. In fact, the meeting was not called 

 to order, owing to the small attendance. 



Breitmeyer's Sons had quite a large 

 wedding decoration this week and are 

 preparing for another good-sized job for 

 next week. One of their large show
