The Weekly Rorists' Review. 



AcavST 6, 1008. 



DETROIT. 



The Market ^ 



A continued call for funeral work has 

 kept this market pretty well cleaned up. 

 So far, the supply has not been heavy, 

 but asters are becoming more plentiful 

 and, as is the case every year, consider- 

 able stock will be lost during the bal- 

 ance of the summer. 



The roses are small, but the stems are 

 good, as is also the color. Brideaf, 

 Maids, Killarney, La Detroit, Richmond, 

 Kaiserin, etc., are all available. The 

 price runs from 3 cents to 6 cents for 

 the best stuff. 



Very few carnations are seen. A few 

 fairly good Enchantress and Lawson 

 arrive daily. 



Asters are becoming quite plentiful, 

 with the exception of white, which is 

 still not quite equal to the demand for 

 good stock. The asters are not any too 

 large, but the flowers are clean and free 

 from disease. Gladioli are commencing, to 

 arrive, but so far not in large quantities. 

 Some fine sweet peas are arriving at both 

 commission houses, and these are imme- 

 diately disposed of. 



^ Aside from smilax, all greens are plen- 

 tiful. 



Various Notes. 



Miss Julia Drehr, bookkeeper, designer 

 and assistant manager for W. B. Brown, 

 is spending a few weeks' well earned 

 vacation at Weston, O., with an uncle. 



Miss Gentlemen, of Leadley's store, is 

 back after an extended journey through 

 the eastern cities. 



B. Schroeter and his son, Bruno, leave 

 Sunday for a trip up the lakes. Miss 

 May Wright, of Schroeter 's, leaves for 

 her vacation August 14, 



The Peter Koenig Coal Co., of this 

 city, has started filling up Schroeter 's 

 bins. This firm supplied several of our 

 largest growers with coal last season, 

 with most satisfactory results. They han- 

 dle a semi-bituminous coal, which is prac- 

 tically smokeless and is a money saver. 



William Hielscher is expected back in 

 Detroit this week from his western visit. 

 Although there is not much call for wire 

 designs at this season of the year, still 

 we are all pleased to hear that he is 

 homeward bound. 



Max Laurisch, of Saginaw, rose grower 

 for Grohman Bros., was a recent visitor. 



Other visitors were: W. W. Coles, of 

 Kokomo, Ind.; Harry Bunyard, of New 

 York. H. S. 



Ckestune, O.— The Crestline Floral 

 Co. has been incorporated, by Daniel 

 Babst and others, with a capital stock 

 of $5,000.
