Best Results With Less Ice 



The condition of your stock does not depend upon the amount of ice 

 you use. It depends upon the cooling you get from the ice you use, and 

 this depends upon the patented system of refrigeration which you find 

 in the McCrav Refrigerator. The proper circulation of pure, fresh air 

 keeps perishable stock fragrant, and in perfect, strong condition. At 

 the same time it uses very little ice.

will give an air of elegance to your store. It will save ice for you daily. 

 It will keep your stock right. It will help sell your stock because it will 

 be kept in such perfect <;ondition. Your refrigeration troubles will 

 be over when you buy a McCray. 



McCray Refrigerators are lined with white enamel, tile, opal glass, 

 or with marble or mirrors as you prefer, and are made in a wide range of 

 regular sizes for immediate shipment, or can be built to order for 

 any requirement.

DETROIT. 



TheMaiket 



Business is not exactly rushing; still, 

 everyone seems to have enough to do 

 to keep out of mischief. Much bloom- 

 ing stock is seen at the different stores 

 and meets with a steady demand. There 

 have been no large wedding decorations 

 of late, but a number of small jobs have 

 kept the trade busy. 



Roses clean up well. The price ranges 

 from 4 cents to 10 cents. The quality 

 is good. Some fine La Detroit are 

 attracting much attention. Carnations 

 are still much too plentiful. This has 

 brought the price down considerably, be- 

 sides encouraging the fakers. Most of 

 the carnations are of good quality. The 

 different bulbous stock is plentiful. Smi- 

 lax, as Avell as other greens, meets with 

 a good demand for weddings, etc. 



Various Notes. 



Miss Gentlemen, who is in charge of 

 George Leadley's store, was kept quite 

 busy last week with several small decora- 

 tions. 



A number of 25-foot evergreens, with 

 balls of earth weighing several tons, are 

 being moved about six miles from E. 

 Ferrand & Sons' nurseries. 



The death of Henry F. Rauss is re- 

 ported in the obituary column. 



The appointment of Albert Poehelon 

 as state vice-president of the S. A. F., 

 for eastern Michigan, meets with the 

 hearty approval of all who are acquaint- 

 ed with him. Mr. Poehelon is always 

 enthusiastic about anything pertaining 

 to the trade. 



Assistant Park Commissioner William 

 Dilger entertained a number of his 

 friends of the Harmonic Bowling Club 

 at a supper at Belle Isle last week. 



The Kenneth Anderson Manufactur- 

 ing Co., of this city, reports a good 

 sale on Revero hose. This hose is giving 

 good satisfaction. 



S. S. Skidelsky, who is in town, re- 

 ports business as being satisfactory. His 

 best selling varieties of carnations have 

 been Winsor, White Enchantress and 

 Beacon. He was much pleased to note 

 that B. Schroeter has a good crop of 

 cuttings in the sand. Over 20,000 cut- 

 tings are about to be lifted.
