DETROIT. 



The Market. 



A summing up of a report from all 

 the downtown stores is gratifying indeed. 

 "Business is picking up nicely," is 

 heard on all sides. The weather has been 

 favorable. 



There are many fair sized wedding dec- 

 orations being executed, some calling for 

 much good stock, such as orchids, valley, 

 violets, etc. 



Pompons and the single varieties of 

 mums are in demand. In fact, these 

 small varieties sell better this year than 

 ever before. Many large yellow mums 

 were disposed of Saturday, November 14, 

 for the IT. of M. football game at Ann 

 Arbor, Mich. 



Carnations sell readily at good prices. 

 Some fine stock is available. 



Various Notes. 



The revised edition of the new consti- 

 tution and by-laws of the Detroit Tlo- 

 rists' Club was mailed to the members 

 Monday, November 16. The season's 

 program was also mailed this week. 



Business opened up nicely with E. a. 

 Fetters in his new flower shop. Miss 

 Gentlemen, formerly with Mrs. Allen P. 

 Cox, has been engaged by Mr. Fetters to 

 look after the store. An appropriate 

 football window attracted much atten- 

 tion the latter part of the week. 



W. B, Brown reports business in gen- 

 eral as being good. He, being on the 

 avenue, disposed of several hundred large 

 yellow chrysanthemums at a fancy price. 



Murray T. Patterson is well pleased 

 with the outlook for the season. This 

 firm disposes of many violets and these 

 have been in good demand lately. Mr. 

 Patterson claims that when people com- 

 mence buying violets freely, it is a good, 

 omen. 



Breitmeyer's staff has been quite busy. 

 Several fair sized decorations have called 

 for considerable work and stock. They 

 also had a tasteful window in pale blue 

 and yellow, these being the colors of the 

 University of Michigan. 



Walter Taepke reports the usual 

 amount of funeral work, also several good 

 wedding orders. 



Painters and decorators somewhat up- 

 set things at Schroeter's last week, but 

 they are straightened out again. A good 

 run of funeral work and several weddings 

 are keeping this firm busy. 



William is back in harness again at 

 Sullivan's, but is still weak from his in- 

 juries. Many yellow mums were disposed 

 of by Sullivan's for the football fans 

 Saturday, November 14. At the present 

 writing Norman is still sojourning some- 

 where between Detroit and Chicago. Be- 

 fore returning home he will visit with 

 Ernest Sullivan at Notre Dame College, 

 in Indiana. 



Call up Albert Pochelon, of the Bemb 

 Floral Co., when you will and he is al-

 decorations for the Schmidt wedding, at 

 Grosse Pointe. Yellow and white were 

 the predominating colors. Chrysanthe- 

 mums and valley were about the only 

 flowers used. A unique centerpiece 

 adorned the wedding table. Two hearts, 

 made of valley and pompon chrysanthe- 

 mums, were held together by a small 

 Cupid of marble, producing a pretty ef- 

 fect.
