The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



Februauy 3, 1910. 



DETROIT. 



The Market. 



January, 1910, appears to have been a 

 good month with nearly everyone. The 

 one trouble we all experienced was get- 

 ting stock, roses especially. There has 

 been much call for funeral work, and 

 when you have to pay 5 c^nts and 6 

 cents for roses and cut theni short for 

 trimming a pillow or other design, it 

 puts a big dent in the profit on that 

 piece. It has been impossible to get good 

 Beauties in our city for some time. The 

 stems are usually weak and the flowers 

 crippled ; in fact, one of our leading 

 retail men had to resort to stiffening the 

 stems with wire. 



The steadily increasing quantity of 

 bulbous flowers is somewhat relieving 

 the cut flower situation. Carnations are 

 again more plentiful and the quality 

 good. Smilax is quite scarce here lately. 



Various Notes. 



Chas. Plumb is cutting some fine Kil- 

 larney and Bichmond, as is evidenced by 

 the stock seen at the Michigan Cut 

 Flower Exchange. 



A Northern touring car has been 

 added to Eobert Watson 's line of 

 equipages. Mr. Watson is also talking 

 auto delivery, and no doubt will soon be 

 building a private garage. 



Robert Klagge is building up a repu- 

 tation as a valley grower. His valley is 

 first-class, long stem, nice foliage and 

 well grown. 



Breitmeyers are showing some pretty 

 table decorations in their window from 

 time to time, which attract many who 

 would otherwise pass by without stop- 

 ping. H. S. 



Lake Geneva, Wis. — At the meeting 

 of the Foremen 's and Gardeners ' Asso- 

 ciation of Lake Geneva, January la, a 

 handsome silver cup, beautifully en- 

 graved, was presented to James Living- 

 ston, head gardener for Mr. Potter. The 

 cup was offered by Arthur T. Boddington 

 for the best twelve varieties of sweet 

 peas. It must be won three times in 

 order to become the property of the 

 winner.

These square pots economize space, give more room 

 to the roots than the tapering round pots. In setting 

 out plants the pots are not removed. Simply unlock the 

 bottom flaps and turn them up (see cut), allowing the 

 roots to grow down.
