DETROIT. 



The Market 



With Memorial day over, things are 

 moving along more smoothly again. Why 

 it is that everyone wants planting, win- 

 dow-boxes, vases, etc., done surely by 

 Decoration day the poor, overworked flo- 

 rist cannot understand. People to whom 

 this day means no more than a half holi- 

 day insist upon their hanging baskets 

 being delivered by this day. In our city 

 the weather does not make it safe to do 

 outdoor work until about May 20, leaving 

 ten days, usually cut down to about five 

 by rainy weather, in which to do the 

 work. 



Cut flowers so far are not any too 

 plentiful, even with a somewhat reduced 

 demand. The only really scarce article 

 is lily of the valley. Smilax is in good 

 demand and none too plentiful. Peonies 

 are now coming in, and large quantities 

 are used daily. 



Various Notes. 



A little Miss Pearce arrived at the 

 home of Hubert Pearce June 2. 



Horace R. Hughes, of Chicago, spent 

 several days in Detroit this week. Mr. 

 Hughes believes that by appealing to the 

 children in advertising and window 

 displays the grown folks will follow the 

 little ones' footsteps to your store. 



In one of the recent weddings in our 

 city the skeleton leaves, for sale by the 

 supply houses, were used to good advan- 

 tage ijy the Bemb Floral Co. The leaves 

 were used to form the background for 

 fans of Sunrise roses carried by the 

 bridesmaids. 



By way of diversion the entertainment 

 committee of the Florists' Club provided 

 a little music and vaudeville the evening 

 of June 7. H. S. 



Sharon, Mass. — Mrs. J. P. Snow had 

 an especially complete and attractive 

 stock for Decoration day trade.
