Brides and Maids 



FROM GRAPTED PLANTS 



Are much finer in the Spring than OWN-ROOT stock, for the grafted plants 

 have rested during the Winter. All our MAIDS, BRIDES, RICHMONDS and 

 KILLARNEY are grafted plants. OUR BEAUTIES have started on the new 

 Spring Crop of flowers and are exceptionally fine. Plenty of GREENS, 

 CARNATIONS and BULB STOCK.

of last week, although at a low figure. 

 The fakera are out in full force, more 

 than were ever seen on the streets of 

 this city before. These will, of course, 

 go with the present large carnation crop. 

 Many thousands of carnations were sold 

 to fakers at $5 per thousand. These 

 in turn were retailed, or rather resold, 

 at 15 cents per dozen or two dozen for 

 a quarter. 



St. Patrick's day created a good de- 

 mand for white carnations. The mar- 

 ket price on these was 3 cents for white 

 and 4 cents for colored. This price 

 was only for a few days. 



Roses have just been equal to the de- 

 mand until the last week. Now these 

 are becoming more plentiful. 



There is plenty of asparagus and smi- 

 lax for all. 



Various Notes. 



Louis Charvat, who was with the 

 Michigan Cut Flower Exchange for 

 years, has given up his position, owing 

 t« ill health. He will hereafter be 

 found at Rowena street, where he and

his father will conduct a retail busi- 

 ness. 



Chas. R. Tuson, of Windsor, Ont., is 

 the star curler in this vicinity. He and 

 his rink of curlers cleaned up every- 

 thing in Windsor. A valuable tie-pin 

 was his share of the prizes. Mr. Tuson 

 was seen at Beard Bros. ' last week, lay- 

 ing in a supply for Easter. 



F. J. Rosser disposed of a large num- 

 ber of well done cyclamen to several 

 of the downtown stores this season. 



Beard Bros.' place is no exception to 

 the general rule at present. The car- 

 nation houses are one mass of flowers 

 and buds. A fine lot of Bostons and 

 Whitman! also promise good returns this 

 spring. 



Henceforth the San Jose scale and 

 other tree exterminators will be kept 

 under the eagle eye of three tree in- 

 spectors. The mayor signed papers to 

 this effect last week. This is a step 

 in the right direction and, no doubt, 

 was brought about by our able park 

 commissioner. 



Henry Fruck will leave the first part 



of June for a three or four months' 

 stay at the baths in Carlsbad, Germany. 

 His health has not been of the best 

 for the last year and it is to be hoped 

 that he will benefit by this rest. 



William Hielscher is confined to his 

 home at present. He has been ailing 

 for some time. 



otto, a brother of Louis Charvat, is 

 the latest acquisition at the Michigan 

 Cut Flower Exchange. 



The florists will be pleaaed to hear 

 that Mrs. Robert Watson's health is 

 improving. 



Mr. Pierce, of Pontiac, Mich., has 

 been in St. Paul, Minn., attending the 

 funeral of his father. 



Among many other orders last week, 

 Schroeter's made a complete casket cov- 

 er of La Detroit roses. This fine rose 

 is certainly well adapted for this pur- 

 pose. 



William Waltz is on the recorder's 

 court jury.
