The Weekly Florists' Review.

DETROIT.

Trade was pretty lively last week. 

 Stock remains well cleaned up. Carna- 

 tions are somewhat scarce at the present 

 time. The demand for violets, valley, 

 orchids and this class of stock has been 

 good. 



The Michigan Cut Flower Exchange is 

 handling many single and double locally 

 grown violets, and finds a ready sale for 

 them, although the competition with the 

 Ehinebeck violets is pretty keen. 



VaxiotM Notes. 



Harmonie hall was beautifully deco- 

 rated for the Harmonie Society's annual 

 masquerade ball. Wm. Dilger, chair- 

 man of the decorating committee, su- 

 perintended the work of decorating. Over 

 thirty cases of southern smilax were used, 

 with many wagon-loads of evergreen 

 trees. 



Another most attractive decoration 

 was executed last week by the Bemb Flo- 

 ral Co. 



Owing to the heavy snow storm falling 

 at the time, several exhibits intended for 

 the club's last trade exhibit arrived too 

 late to receive mention in last week's 

 issue of the Review. The following 

 were worthy of special mention: Leo- 

 pold Mallest, of Mount CMemens, sent a 

 lot of fine Beacon and Lawson. J. K. 

 Stock showed a vase of double snap- 

 dragon, which drew much attention. The 

 Chas. Knopf Floral Co., of Richmond, 

 Ind., showed its new carnations, Ruby 

 and Mrs. Chas. Knopf. The Highland 

 Park Floral Co., of Highland Park, ill., 

 shipped a lot of its latest introduction, 

 Lucille. This variety has proved itself 

 a wonderful keeper, being still in good 

 condition. Indianapolis was also repre- 

 sented by Bertermann Bros., with a vase 

 of the beautiful, solid yellow, James 

 Whitcomb Riley, which also seems a good 

 keeper. The color is a delicate shade of 

 yellow. 



Henry Fruck has finished repotting 

 the collection of orchids at Breitmeyer 's. 

 From now on Mr. Fruck will devote his 

 time to landscape work, for which he is 

 well fitted, having had a lifetime's ex- 

 perience on private places. 



The fall show premium committee has 

 been requested by President Brown to 

 submit an outline for a premium list at 

 the next meeting of the club, March 1. 



J. J. Karins, of Dreer's, passed 

 through our city this week, homewafd 

 bound. He reports an exceptionally 

 gratifying trip. During Mr. Karins' 

 absence a little boy arrived at his home.
