The Weekly Rorists' Review^ 



Apbil 30, 1908. 



DETROIT. 



The Market. 



There is little to say of special in- 

 terest as regards the market. Business 

 in general is none too brisk, although 

 some of the florists are kept busy with 

 special work. Stock of all kinds is plenti- 

 ful. A large store opening created a big 

 demand for Beauties the first part of 

 last week, and many blooming plants 

 were also worked off in baskets. 



Varioui Notes. 



Peter F. Keuss, of Johannesburg, 

 Mich., who has been at Schroeter's since 

 before Christmas, helping out, is to re- 

 main until the first part of June. 



With Philip Breitmeyer as park com- 

 missioner, a mayor who is interested in 

 clean backyards, and a Civil Service 

 Iieague that will offer all kinds of in- 

 ducements, Detroit is rapidly coming 

 to the front as a clean, model city. 



Louis Charvat, who recently embarked 

 in the retJiil business, purchased a horse 

 from a brother florist. It was just 

 becoming accustomed to its new sur- 

 roundings when it died from an attack 

 of colic. Louis's friends in the trade 

 circulated a contribution list, and soon 

 enough was raised to present him with a 

 new horse. 



That the vacuum system, as installed 

 by the Simonds Heating Co., of Detroit, 

 is becoming more popular every day is 

 evidenced by the growing business of 

 the firm. 



The new music house and concert 

 hall of Grinnell Bros, was formally open- 

 ed this week. The entire six floors, as 

 well as the concert hall, were elaborately 

 decorated with palms, ferns, blooming 

 plants and baskets, by B. Schroeter. Some 

 florists are of the opinion that store 

 decorating does not pay, but Mr. Schroe- 

 ter has put it on a paying basis; in 

 fact, he finds it pays far better than 

 house decorating. 



One of our largest retailers has enter- 

 ed into a conflict with the street flo- 

 rists who fairly swarm on Woodward 

 avenue on a pleasant day. There seems 

 to be no way of compelling them to 

 give up their stands on the street. If 

 this could be accomplished they would 

 have to either go out of business or 

 pay a high rent which would forbid 

 them from cutting prices as they do. 



A small fire in a millinery store in 

 the Michigan Cut Flower Exchange build- 

 ing resulted in a slight damage to the 

 exchange. 



Hugo Werner, a brother of Mrs. B. 

 Schroeter, died April 26 at St. Mary's 

 hospital. H. S.
