The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



June 18, 1908, 



INDIANAPOLIS. 



The Market. 



Business has kept up remarkably well 

 this month so far, but, with the closing 

 of the schools and a general exodus to 

 summer resorts, the trade will experience 

 the usual summer quietness and all will 

 be able to devote their energies toward 

 getting their places in readiness for an- 

 other season. Emptying and refilling 

 the benches, painting and repairing and 

 a general overhauling of the whole plant 

 will keep all hands busy during the 

 summer months. 



Various Notes. 



Baur & Smith are cutting a fine lot of 

 blooms off their bench of May. This 

 carnation is proving itself to be a splen- 

 did summer variety, not burning or 

 bleaching like so many others. 



At the last meeting of the City Flo- 

 rists' Club a committee was appointed 

 to make arrangements for a picnic, to be 

 held in July. 



John Berterman is a busy man these 

 days as chairman of the decoration com- 

 mittee of the Saengerfest, to be held in 

 the city this week. 



John Hartje is making fine progress 

 with the erection of his new houses, 

 south of the city. S. 



DETROIT. 



The Market. 



Things were rather quiet in our city 

 last week. Business started in pretty 

 briskly on Monday, June 15. There was 

 a marked scarcity of pink roses on this 

 day. The graduating exercises have cre- 

 ated a demand for all kinds of flowers, 

 particularly roses and sweet peas. The 

 latter are fine. Peonies are also meet- 

 ing with a good demand this year. The 

 quality* of the flowers seems to be un- 

 usually good. They have good stems and 

 are very lasting. 



The less said about carnations at the 

 present time the better. The price is 

 away down and the market flooded. 

 "When it gets along about this time of 

 the year the people, with few exceptions, 

 seem to have tired of carnations and 

 many do not want them at any price. 



Smilax and other greens are plenti- 

 ful. 



While there are a number of small 

 wedding decorations called for, the big 

 jobs are few and far between. A nuhi- 

 ber of our society buds are being mar- 

 ried, but they are not making as much 

 show this year as in the past.
