The Weekly Rorists' Review/ 



Mat 28, 1908. 



DETROIT. 



' ■ ' . . , ' 



The Market 



Business remains about the same as 

 it has been for the last few weeks. Last 

 week the market was flooded with a va- 

 riety of stock, but toward the end of 

 the week this glut was greatly relieved, 

 partly by the street venders and also by 

 a brisk spell of business. 



In previous years Decoration day busi- 

 ness has not amounted to much in this 

 city, except with the few stores that are 

 located near the cemeteries. At present 

 it is too early to tell what this year will 

 bring forth. There will be a slight rise 

 in prices, although from the present out- 

 look stock of all kinds will be plenti- 

 ful. There is a good crop of carnations 

 coming on; also a fine lot of Kaiserin 

 and La Detroit roses. 



Some fine swe^t peas are now on sale. 



Ferns, smilax, asparagus, boxwood, 

 etc., are plentiful. 



Varloot No^ 



George R. Muckey, . who was found 

 guilty of fleecing several florists of this 

 vicinity by forging some checks, was 

 sentenced to from four to fourteen years 

 in Jackson penitentiary. 



The Detroit Ploripts' Club, in session 

 Wednesday evening. May 20, sent a let- 

 ter of condolence to Mrs. Wm. Scott and 

 family. The members also extended their 

 sympathy with a wreath bearing the 

 card of the Detroit Florists' Club. 

 Friend Scott 's death cast " a glooin over 

 the whole proceedings of the meeting. 



One of our leading retail stores made 

 a special effort- to relieve the -oversupply 

 of roses and carnations last week. The 

 big show window was stacked with roses 

 and carnations bearing signs offering 

 them at 25 cents and '50 cents per dozen. 

 Many were disposed of, but no police- 

 man was necessary to keep the crowd 

 back. While the public patronizes the 

 fakers freely, it seems to hold back 

 when a first-class store sells so cheaply. 



A red-hot ball game has been a,rranged 

 for between the Detroit Cut Flower 

 Supply House team and the Michigan 

 Cut Flower Exchange team. Bemember 

 the day, June 5, at Belle Isle. Captains 

 Pierce and Eahaley are both going 

 around with blood in their eyes. Even 

 though you are not a fan, be on hand to 

 help cheer the boys- along. Bring your 

 wives and sweethearts, for Mrs. Wm. 

 Dilger has kindly turned over the hos- 

 pitalities of their home on Belle Isle to 

 the club. men^)er8 for the evening, and 

 such a kind invitation should bring out 

 the whole club. 



The fine weather of the last two weeks 

 has created a big demand for outdoor 

 stuff. It has also proven a blessing to 

 the florists who do much planting, as it 

 gives them a chance to get the bulk of 

 the work done before Decoration day. 



Fred Pautke, of Grosse Pointe, is 

 sending some exceptionally fine pale pink 

 and lavender peas to the city. 



Wm. Hielscher reports some fine orders 

 for hanging baskets through his ad in 

 the Review. This firm is-''als& making 

 a specialty of wire trellises and is doing 

 a big business. 



The Kenneth Anderson Mfg. Co. has 

 been called upon to fill many large or- 

 ders for Revero hose. H. S.
