The Market 



There is, of course, always room for 

 more business, but little complaint is be- 

 ing heard. All good stock available is 

 rapidly disposed of at good prices. Some 

 exceedingly fine Richmond and Killarney 

 are obtainable. White roses are not 

 plentiful. 



Those up on society matters say this 

 is a dull year. It is true that this season 

 we have had only about twenty debu- 

 tantes, as against thrice that number last 

 year. Many costly bouquets are sent to 

 Miss Debutante and in nearly every case 

 some decorating is called for, some of 

 these decorations last year running into 

 considerable money. But there is always 

 other business for those who will have it 

 at a reasonable figure. There has, for 

 instance, been a steady demand for 

 violets all winter; also loose flowers for 

 the many receptions, teas, sick ones, 



birthdays, etc., have sold well. Many 

 funeral pieces have been called for from 

 time td time this winter, but these were 

 mostly moderate-priced orders. Not every 

 city is a second Chicago or New York, 

 whore there are always a number of 

 people willing to pay for a little extra 

 gilt on the box. 



Variout Notet. 



Fetters and Schroeter are the only 

 doAvntown florists who close up promptly 

 at 6 o'clock every evening, except Satur- 

 day. While an occasional sale may be 

 lost, it is doubtful whether these few 

 sales would pay the light and other ex- 

 penses resulting from keeping open 

 evenings. 



Some attractive calendars are being 

 distributed by some of the trade in De- 

 troit. Wm. Hielscher 's is excellent. E. 

 A. Fetters is issuing a pretty monthly 

 calendar, a picture of a charming girl on 

 each one. B. Schroeter is sending out 

 both a monthly calendar and one for the 

 whole year. A handy pocket mirror and 

 card case bear the name of John Breit- 

 meyer 's Sons. 



One hundred and twenty-five couples 



attended the Florists' Club's annual 

 dancing party, given at Harmonic hall, 

 January 7. Besides dancing, there were 

 several good numbers on the program. 

 As a fitting climax our thoughtful enter- 

 tainment committee, under the direction 

 of Charles Plumb, provided a very relish- 

 able lunch. 



The old buildings opposite Taepke 's 

 store are soon to be torn down to make 

 way for a modern eight-story building, 

 the same to be entirely occupied by one 

 of our large retail furniture dealers. This 

 should be good news for Taepke 's. 



Philip Breitmeyer was inaugurated as 

 mayor of Detroit Tuesday morning, Jan- 

 uary 12. The mayor's offices in the City 

 Hall were elaborately decorated by mem- 

 bers of the Detroit Florists' Club. Be- 

 sides several wagon loads of palms, there 

 was a profusion of flowers. A vase of 

 100 best Beauties from Poehlmann Bros. 

 Co., Chicago, attracted much attention, 

 even from the florists. 



J. F. Sullivan, in behalf of the Detroit 

 florists, presented Mr. Breitmeyer with 

 an elaborate desk pad, ink well, pearl 

 handled pen, etc.
