The Weekly Florists^ Review* ^^^^^^^ ^i, 1909 



DETROIT. 



The Market. 



Business was satisfactory all last week. 

 Nothing startling happened, but a steady 

 demand has kept the market well cleaned 

 up. All the stock is of good quality. 

 Eoses are coming in nicely. Carnations 

 are fine. Bulbous stock is commencing 

 to come in. Some fine tulips and jonquils 

 are arriving from Mt. Clemens. Bomans 

 and Paper Whites are plentiful. Sweet 

 peas are also getting better. 



Club Meetins. 



The club meeting January 18 was not 

 largely attended, but those on hand were 

 treated to a most interesting account 

 of the development of the flower business 

 in Detroit, by Robert Flowerday. He 

 began with his boyhood days in Holland. 

 It was in 1874 that he began work for 

 Stephen Taplin in this city. Among 

 other things he said he can recall at least 

 135 varieties of carnation^ grown here at 

 different times, but now not seen. 



Charles Warncke was elected to mem- 

 bership. Mr. "Ellis, of Leamington, Ont., 

 was a visitor. 



Variou* Note*. 



Henry Fruck has entered the employ 

 of J. Breitmeyer's Sons and will look 

 after the orchids at the Mack avenue 

 greenhouses. Herman Knope, foreman 

 for Breitmeyer's, has been absent for 

 some time, owing to sickness. 



In the last four years three men have 

 come to grief through attempting to 

 flim-flam B. Schroeter with bad checks. 

 The last of the trio, a young man of 

 rather fine appearance, dropped into the 

 store Saturday evening, January 16, and 

 after having two dozen Beauties packed 

 in a box, tendered one of the clerks 

 a worthless check for $20. At police 

 headquarters he was later identified by 

 Murray Patterson, from whom he ob- 

 tained $4 and a box of flowers last 

 Thursday. He also was identified by W. 

 B. Brown, who would not accept his 

 check, but who did send $6 worth of 

 flowers to a well known family, who 

 later calle<l up and wanted to know who 

 was so kind as to send them flowers. 



One of Detroit 's best candy firms is 

 removing from its present quarters to 

 216 Woodward avenue, which is next door 

 to J. F. Sullivan 's store, meaning addi- 

 tional patronage for "J. F. " H. S. 



Hartford, Conn. — N. F. Beck has 

 gone out of the florists' business. 



Clarinda, Ia. — .1. V. Pfander has re- 

 organized his business, taking a partner 

 and doubling his greenhouse capacity. 

 The name of the firm will be Pfander & 

 Crosthwait.

 has proved to be an acquisition for the average

 [rs. T. W. Lawson in color, and a continuous 

 bloomer. Worthy of trial by all.
