The Weekly Rofists^ Review* 



June 3, 1909. 



DETROIT. 



The Market 



The last was by far the best Decoration 

 day Detroit has ever experienced ; in fact, 

 there was much more business than was 

 anticipated. Carnations, roses, peas, tu- 

 lips, outdoor lilac, which is just coming 

 in; iris and every other variety of flower 

 were cut to the last one and still stock 

 ran short. The demand for plants of 

 every description was also unusually 

 good. We have had a backward season 

 and this set those having outdoor plant- 

 ing to do far back, and the warm weather 

 just previous to Decoration day caused a 

 general scramble. 



Our local commission houses report a 

 splendid out-of-town business. Those flo- 

 rists located near the cemeteries, to whom 

 Memorial day is a sort of Easter, had 

 about all they could handle. The stores 

 downtown also noticed a decided increase 

 in local business, much of which consisted 

 of shipments. 



The call for smilax, ferns, asparagus 

 and the ever-popular galax leaves was 

 heavy. 



Various Note*. 



A new, modern front in the store ad- 

 joining that of Patterson has added con- 

 siderable to the value of the latter 's 

 store, giving it much more light. 



It looks now as though Eobert Flower- 

 day would be this city's next superin- 

 tendent of parks. The question just at 

 present is, will Wm. Dilger serve under 

 the new commissioner appointed by 

 Mayor Philip Breitmeyer? Mr. Dilger is 

 talking of resigning as superintendent 

 and in that event Flowerday will most 

 likely succeed him. Both the gentlemen 

 are well liked by the florists and equally 

 well qualified for the position. 



The Detroit Cut Flower Supply House 

 handled a fine lot of peas and carnations 

 last week. 



Chas. Warncke, Jr., is now dividing his 

 time between the florists' and automo- 

 bile business. He is conducting a branch 

 agency for the Buick Motor Co., in the 

 western part of Detroit. 



So great was the demand for stock 

 from out of town at the Michigan Cut 

 Flower Exchange that it became neces- 

 sary to substitute any available flower on 

 some late orders. Many thousands of 

 tulips were disposed of in this way, being 

 the best thing on hand. 



Philip Breitmeyer and J. F. Sullivan 

 made the trip to Milwaukee last week 

 with the members of the Detroit Board 

 of Commerce. H. S.

 building seven houses, 28x100, using ma- 

 terial from the Moninger Co.
