The Market 



"With the month of roses over, business 

 has decreased considerably, an occasion- 

 al good funeral job being about the only 

 thing to break the monotony. June 

 seems to have somewhat exceeded ex- 

 pectations; the first part of the month 

 was quiet, but toward the end it bright- 

 ened up. The custom of sending flowers 

 to the pretty girl graduates, and to the 

 boys as well, is becoming more popular 

 every year, and it is up to us to help it 

 along. 



Stock is plentiful and of good qual- 

 ity, considering the hot days we have 

 had. Brides and Maids are small, but 

 the color is good. Carnations are also 

 small. 



Sweet peas are holding on well. Those 



of a distinct color, as pink, lavender, 

 red, etc., sell more readily than the va- 

 riegated ones. 



The local commission houses report 

 a good month. 



Various Notes. 



Arthur Linke, Jr., of Alpena, Mich., 

 was in this city recently to consult an 

 eye specialist. While riding home from 

 the depot in the dark, with a large box 

 of flowers under his arm, he was thrown 

 to the pavement, resulting in an injury 

 to one eye. It is feared he will lose 

 the eye. 



A postal has been received by the 

 writer from Wm. Hielscher, mailed at 

 Portland, Ore. Mr. Hielscher • left for 

 the extreme west some time ago, in com- 

 pany with his mother, to visit several 

 of his sisters. 



Henry Truck, gardener to the Berrys, 

 of Grosse Point, sailed from Hoboken 

 last Saturday for Germany, where he will 

 spend several months at Carlsbad, in 

 the hope of building up his health. 



Hubert Pierce, of the Detroit Cut 

 Flower Supply House, was married to 



Miss M. Waltz on the evening of June 

 30. Miss Waltz comes from a family 

 of florists, being a sister of Mrs. Taepke 

 and Mrs. Flammer. Two of her brothers 

 are also engaged in the same calling. 

 Miss Waltz was in a retail store for 

 some time. 



The popular slogan of the Detroit 

 Board of Commerce, ' * In Detroit Life is 

 Worth Living," has been worked out by 

 the park board employees in Grand Cir- 

 cus park. Much credit is due the park 

 commissioner and his able staff of as- 

 sistants for the manner work has pro- 

 gressed in the public parks this year. 



B. Schroeter's plant is receiving thor- 

 ough overhauling this season. Two 

 houses were practically built over. A 

 new house is also under way. Moninger's 

 material is being used throughout. Mr. 

 Schroeter is a firm believer in the policy 

 of having modem houses. 



An early closing wave has taken this 

 city by storm. Most of the stores are 

 displaying signs to this effect in some 

 conspicuous place. Mr. Brown, who is 

 located on Woodward avenue, the main
