city. All of the better stores keep bas- 

 kets of diflferent kinds made up at all 

 times. 



In New York fakers confronted the 

 visitor on all sides and some ox the 

 prices asked for good fresh flowers are 

 really ridiculous. For instance, fine 

 Ehinebeck violets at 10 cents a bunch. 

 Good roses, such as we would have to 

 pay 4 cents for .wholesale in this city, 

 could be bought on the street at 1 cent. 

 It is unnecessary to say that the market 

 is flooded with stock. 



The retailers' windows in New York 

 also showed that they receive much at- 

 tention. In fact, the whole outward ap- 

 pearance of the stores had a character 

 not commonly seen in our city. 



As in the other eastern cities, business 

 in Philadelphia was quiet. The store of 

 Charles Henry Pox interested Mr. Poche- 

 lon. 



In the question box, some one asked: 

 "What should lilies bring at wholesale 

 at Easter?" There was no definite an- 

 swer, for it all depends on the lilies, and 

 the way of counting. The general opin- 

 ion was that lilies will be none too plen- 

 tiful in Detroit this Easter. There is 

 much stock in town, but the majority is 

 poor. 



On a motion by Ed Beard it was de- 

 cided that the president call the meeting 

 to order at sharp eight o'clock hereafter, 

 providing a quorum is present. 



It was decided to hold a show the 

 night of the next meeting, April 1. Any- 

 thing of interest in the plant line should 

 be shown by the growers, who it is to be 

 hoped will take an active interest in the 

 show. If you have any Easter stock to 

 disposfe of for Easter, this is your chance. 

 Thos. Brown and Robert Rahaley were 

 appointed to act as a show committee. 

 A special feature is promised by the en- 

 tertainment committee. 



Variotis Notes. 



The carnation crop at Greenfield is 

 about off, but Mt. Clemens is just com- 

 mencing to get a full cut. 



Owing to continued ill health G. A. 

 Eackham has sold his greenhouse busi- 

 ness and stock to M. Bloy, .at present 

 foreman for Weiland & Olinger, New 

 Castle, Ind. Mr. Bloy has the reputation 

 of being a first-class grower and will find 

 the florists of Detroit ready to give him 

 a hearty welcome* He takes charge 

 April 1. Mr. Rackham highly recom- 

 mends the Review as an advertising me- 

 dium. Four insertions under "Want Ad- 

 vertisements" announcing his place for 

 sale brought him inquiries from all over

Schroeter again did the decorating for
