The Weekly Florists' Review*

DETROIT. 



The Market 



With Easter still the better part of a 

 week ahead of us at the present writ- 

 ing, one can hardly predict how busi- 

 ness will be, but judging from the prepa- 

 rations that are being made at the dif- 

 ferent stores, there is going to be some- 

 thing doing. The retailers seem to be 

 doing more advertising this year than in 

 former years. Some are resorting only 

 to newspaper space, while others have 

 sent out neat announcements. 



There will, in all probability, be a lit- 

 tle shortage of violets iO our city; that 

 is, of course, of the home-grown ones. 



Boses and carnations will be equal to 

 the demand. Some very fine Kaiserins 

 coming in from Mount Clemens at pres- 

 ent will probably be just, off crop at 

 Easter, 



Of bulbous stock there, is plenty. 



Some fine lilies can be seen at some 

 of the stores. Many have already been 

 sold by the local commission houses, 

 and at the retail stores a great many 

 inquiries were made concerning prices, 

 etc. So indications are that more lilies 

 will be sold than ever before. 



Various Notes. 



Mrs. A. P. Cox is doing business in 

 both the old and new stores this week. 

 The formal opening of the new place, 

 at John B. and Broadway, will be held 

 April 20. 



Breitmeyer's Sons have a fine display 

 for Easter. Some fine standard ramblers 

 and many pink spiraea attracted much 

 attention all the week, 



Schroeter mailed out over 1,000 neat 

 Easter announcements. Several moving 

 van loads of blooming plants were 

 brought down from the greenhouses Mon- 

 day and this was kept up every other 

 day for the balance of the week. 



"We do not know where to put all 

 the stuff," is the cry at J. F. Sullivan's. 

 Last year he had temporary use of a 

 vacant store next door, but this year 

 these accommodations were not to be had. 



W. B. Brown has given his store a 

 complete new attire of white, and being 

 filled with a nice assortment of stock, 

 it makes a handsome appearance. 



G. H. Taepke has mailed out about 

 1,000 dainty little souvenir books, which, 

 besides calling attention to his fine as- 

 sortment of Easter stock, will serve the 

 purpose of a shopping list for milady. 



Not only are the flower stores making 

 a special display of plants, but the 

 fakers, candy stores, and even some of 

 the groceries, have put in a stock of 

 lilies, etc. H. S.
