The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



September 3, 1908. 



DETROIT. 



The Market. 



Reports from all corners show a de- 

 cided increase in business over the pre- 

 ceding week. There was quite a demand 

 for wedding flowers. Plants were also 

 in more demand and ferns sold especially 

 well. There is a difference of opinion as 

 to what the coining season has in store 

 for us. With a little extra pushing, the 

 returns should not run behind the season 

 of 1907-8. The trouble with some is 

 that they just lie around and wait for 

 work to wake them up. 



At the commission houses all good 

 stock sells readily. Poor stock, of course, 

 does not sell. The best groAvers some- 

 times have a streak of bad luck with 

 some of their stock, but by throwing 

 the poor stuff out at once, instead of 

 unloading it at the commission house, 

 they would save the express charges and 

 aid the commission man in getting a 

 better price for the good stock. 



Various Notes. 



Martin Reukauf and his wife spent the 

 better half of last week in this city. 

 Mrs. Reukauf was entertained by Mrs. 

 Maynard and was highly elated with the 

 City of the Straits. H. S. 



COLUMBIA, S. C. 



Mrs. J. M. Eison has just completed 

 one house, 21x120, making her three 

 houses in all and covering her ground so 

 no other improvements can be made 

 there. A general collection of plants 

 and cut flowers is grown. 



Miss Wittvogel has added one house, 

 35x140 feet, making seven houses in all, 

 for cut flowers and general stock. 



The Rose Hill Greenhouses have put 

 up a splendid cypress tank sixty feet 

 high, with a capacity of 15,000 gallons. 

 The water is for the greenhouses and 

 truck farm. Rose Hill has the largest 

 greenhouse plant in Columbia, eight 

 houses in all. Cut flowers are a specialty 

 there. 



Mr. Becker has charge of the state 

 grounds; the work is mostly done by 

 convicts. This is the first season that 

 the grounds about the State House have 

 received any attention. The beds of 

 ' salvias, eoleus, etc., arc looking well 

 and the grass is kept short. 



Charleston, S. C. — Chas. M. Neuman 

 started six years ago with a hotbed and 

 today has thirteen greenhouses. Trade 

 has been good.
