The Weekly Florists' Review. 



Afbil 2, 1908. 



DETROIT. 



TlieMaricet 



There has been no real change in the 

 market since last report. Business re- 

 mains about the same. A number of 

 fakers are doing all in their power to re- 

 lieve the carnation glut, by selling them 

 as low as two dozen for 25 cents. Boses 

 clean up well and are bringing good 

 prices. Even though we are in Lent, 

 there seems to be a good demand for 

 violets. Some fine ones are coming from 

 Mt. Clemens. 



Various Notes. 



Fred Pautke, of Grosse Pointe, has two 

 new seedlings that may prove of much 

 value to florists. One is a sweet pea of 

 delicate shade. The other is a seedling 

 from a cross of two of his own seedling 

 carnations. The color is of the Enchant- 

 ress shade, but just a little more de- 

 cided. The flower comes of a good com- 

 mercial size, on a good, wiry stem. 



The Kenneth Anderson Co. reports a 

 heavy demand for Kevero hose. This 

 firm is preparing for more business than 

 ever before in pipe, fittings, etc., for the 

 coming season. 



The suit between Louis Knauss and 

 George Leadly has finally been settled in 

 favor of the former. Leadly still has 

 ninety days in which to decide whether 

 he will carry the case to a higher court. 

 In the meantime the business will be 

 carried on by Mrs. A. P. Cox, a daughter 

 of Mr. Knauss. The building at 233 

 Woodward avenue, where the store is at 

 present located, is to be torn down, so 

 Mrs. Cox is compelled to move this week. 

 New quarters have been taken up in the 

 new Healy building, corner of Broadway 

 and Wilcox. 



William E. Hielscher is just mailing 

 several thousand copies of a handsome 

 new illustrated catalogue of wire work, 

 wire supplies, tinfoil, etc. 



Mr. and Mrs. C. H. Maynard were 

 among the visitors at the rose show in 

 Chicago last week. Mrs. Maynard is de- 

 lighted with . the way the membership 

 list of the S. A. F. Ladies' Auxiliary is 

 swelling. 



Adolph Epding, formerly gardener for 

 Bernard Stroh, at Grosse Pointe Farms, 

 has accepted a position as gardener for 

 E. C. Walker, in Walkerville, Ontario. 



The Michigan Cut Flower Exchange is 

 doing a rushing business in lily plants. 



H.S. 



PENTSTEMONS. 



The value of pentstemons for a long- 

 continued display of bright flowers is be- 

 coming more and more appreciated, 

 though still not so fully as their merits 

 deserve. Good forms raised from seed 

 can be selected and propagated annually 

 in the same way as calceolarias, but 

 where distinct colors are at once desired 

 now is a good time to order named va- 

 rieties. Numerous charming shades are 

 procurable, and a few good varieties are 

 Crimson Gem, George Home, Phryne, 

 General White, Ninon de 1 'Enclos, Talma, 

 Daphne, Edwin Beckett, John Jennings, 

 Lord Lister, and others. Newbury Gem 

 and White Newbury Gem, says an Eng- 

 lish gardening magazine, though not 

 bearing such large flowers, are even more 

 continuous bloomers, and so extremely 

 elegant that they should be included. 



Peoria, III. — Bruno Juergens has been 

 suffering lately from an attack of the 

 grippe.
