of than before. Bulbous stock in pans 

 sold remarkably well. Many fine spiraeas 

 were to be seen and sold well. 



Violets were in big demand, the weath- 

 er being warm Hind favorable for wear- 

 ing them. Most of the stores ran short 

 of violets Saturday and were not able to 

 obtain any more until too late to be of 

 any use. Sweet peas were also used in 

 large quantities and these were hardly 

 equal to the demand. 



American Beauties were in about the 

 same class as the more expensive plants 

 and did not sell as readily as some of 

 the florists wished, although many were 

 sold. Roses sold well. Carnations and 

 the general run of spring stuff were sold 

 in exceedingly large quantities. 



The churches went into lilies deeper 

 than ever this year and the few for- 

 tunate ones who get the cream of this 

 business disposed of many lilies and 

 spiraeas at good prices. Eenting palms 

 to the churches is also getting to be a 

 larger feature every year. 



With Lent a thing of the past, the out- 

 look is good for spring business and the 

 fellow who gets out and hustles is going 

 to get it. 



Various Notes. 



The Michigan Cut Flower Exchange is 

 well pleased with its Easter business and 

 business in general. 



Sullivan rented an empty store on 

 Woodward avenue and used it to dispose 

 of a lot of surplus stock. He had stran- 

 gers running the place and in no way did 

 he use his name. The stock was sold 

 for cash only and nothing was delivered. 

 Mr. Sullivan says that the prices real- 

 ized by no means paid for growing the 

 stock and only in case of a surplus would 

 he carry out the plan again. A large 

 wedding in Flint, Mich., will use up all 

 the lilies left over from Easter. 



The Bemb Floral Co. reports a satis- 

 factory Easter business; also a big run 

 on funeral work during the rush. 



Breitmeyer 's, of course, had about all 

 the business that could be handled. 

 Aside from some exceptionally large 

 plants and expensive baskets, they 

 cleaned up pretty well. 



Schroeter, as usual, did a big plant and 

 cut flower business. Not a decent lily 

 was left. This firm has every order de- 

 livered signed for and an actual count of 

 these shows between 1,200 and 1,300 de- 

 liveries made Friday, Saturdaiy and Sun- 

 day. Mr. Schroeter 's receipts for lilies 

 sold at wholesale amount to a nice little 

 sum. 



W. B. Brown says business was splen- 

 did. Being on the main street, natur- 

 ally he sells many violets and cut flow- 

 ers. He also does a nice plant busi- 

 ness.

Easter. They had a large number of 

 roses and carnations from their own 

 plant and realized a nice profit on these. 

 Their Easter stock of plants was excep- 

 tionally well grown this year. 



The Detroit Cut Flower Supply House 

 could have disposed of much more stock 

 could the same have been procured.
