DETROIT. 



The Market 



Thanksgiving business caught the De- 

 troit retailers napping. We experienced 

 a small Christmas rush, with no one pre- 

 pared, consequently most of the stores 

 were completely cleaned out. In former 

 years the demand for violets was not near 

 that of this year. The weather ou 

 Thanksgiving day and for several days 

 previous was fine, it being much like the 

 beautiful days in spring. Chrysanthe- 

 mums are thinning out ; the smaller varie- 

 ties, which were so popular, are about 

 done for. This market will afford mums 

 until about Christmas, but only a few 

 kinds will be available. 



The stock and quality of roses is all 

 that can be desired. The only thing lack- 

 ing, when compared with some of the 

 Chicago stock, is length of stems, not but 

 that they are long enough for all ordi- 

 nary purposes, but Killarney and Rich- 

 mond, on stems as long as Beauties, we 

 do not often see. Carnations are well 

 equal to the demand now, with those of 

 the Lawson shade almost too plentiful. 

 Much green is being used for decorating 

 and in bouquet work. 



Various Notes. 



Prof. L. R. Taft, of the Michigan 

 Agricultural College, spent several days 

 in Detroit recently in the interest of the 

 U. S. government. He was inspecting 

 azaleas, lilacs and other imported stock 

 for signs of the brown tail moth, which 

 has even the San Jose scale backed off the 

 board, when it comes to doing damage. 



Theo. Damerow has been doing well 

 all fall, but now comes his harvest. He 

 still has untouched about 15,000 Jerome 

 Jones mums, which will bring good 

 prices. 



Michael Bloy should be termed the 

 cyclamen and begonia specialist of the 

 Detroit market. Not only does Mr. Bloy 

 grow these plants by the thousand, but 

 he grows as fine plants as were ever seen 

 here. He has at present about 2,500 

 cyclamen and perhaps half as many Lor- 

 raine, all one mass of flowers. 



The Simonds Heating & Specialty Co. 

 reports an unusually busy season. Their 

 vacuum system is meeting with great 

 favor among the florists. H. S.
