January 2. The plants carried splendid 

 spikes and most closely resembled C. 

 Regnieri. The cross between the early 

 and late flowering sections has resulted in 

 a mid-winter blooming sort, which will 

 prove useful. A first-class certificate was 

 awarded. 



Johnson & Neilson, of Framingham, 

 have a splendid crop of sweet peas at 

 present. Their carnations are also doing 

 finely. 



William Thatcher will replace James 

 Farquhar as a member of the plant and 

 flower committee of the Massachusetts 

 Horticultural Society. 



The executive committee of the Gar- 

 deners' and Florists' Club is arranging 

 for a unique entertainment for ladies' 

 night, January 19, when the new officers 

 are to be installed. A big attendance 

 is assured. 



The Boston Cooperative Flower Market 

 will hold a trade exhibition about the 

 end of February, open to all exhibitors 

 and non-members will be made especially 

 welcome, according to President Elijah 

 Cartwright. 



The last year gave us a heavy excess 



in temperature over the normal and a de- 

 ficiency of over ten inches in precipita- 

 tion. 



Penn Bros., on Bromfield street, did 

 the biggest Christmas trade in their his- 

 tory, disposing of an immense quantity 

 of cut flowers and plants. This up-to- 

 date and enterprising firm always has an 

 attractive window display and deserves 

 the success achieved. W. N. Craiq. 



DETROIT. 



Tlie Market 



The new year began with a rush of 

 business that was too much for this mar- 

 ket, which has not recovered from the 

 shock. The demand was heavy for cut 

 flowers of all varieties. 



Neither roses nor carnations are any 

 too plentiful at present. Eoses in par- 

 ticular are quite scarce, causing the price 

 to remain pretty stiff. Richmond and 

 La Detroit range in price from 6 cents 

 to 12 cents. White roses are few and 

 far between. 



Paper White narcisei and Roman hya- 

 cinths are helping out considerably. 



Various Notes. 



W. B. Brown was kept on the go last 

 week with several decorations. One, in 

 particular, at the Twentieth Century 

 Club building, called for much southern 

 smilax. Large baskets filled with south- 

 ern smilax and poinsettias were suspend- 

 ed from the ceiling, some of the smilax 

 hanging quite low, producing a pretty 

 effect. On the tables were centerpieces 

 of holly and poinsettias. 



A. M. Patterson, father of Murray 

 Patterson, died on the morning of De- 

 cember 31. 



The month of December was the best 

 the Michigan Cut Flower Exchange has 

 had since being in business. Mr. Rahaley 

 attributes this to the good stock they 

 are handling and also to advertising in 

 the Review. 



George Peters, for several years with 

 the Detroit Cut Flower Supply House, 

 has left for Chicago, where he will study 

 for the ministry. 



Tuesday, January 12, Philip Breit- 

 meyer begins active service as mayor of 

 Detroit. H. S.
