The Weekly Florists' Review. 



Febhuaey 17, 1910. 



DETROIT. 



The Market 



Reports regarding business vary some- 

 what; still, taking it as a whole, it has 

 been most satisfactory. The bulk of 

 the business has been for funerals, many 

 large orders being placed in some cases. 

 With the exception of roses, stock is com- 

 ing in in good quantities and moving 

 rapidly. St. Valentine's day created a 

 big demand for cut flowers, not only in 

 Detroit, but many large shipments to 

 neighboring cities were made by tlie 

 wholesalers. Bulbous stock is slow this 

 year with all the growers. Smilax is 

 still quite scarce and out-of-town stock 

 is being used to help satisfy the demand. 



St. Valentine's Business. 



Some years ago there was but little 

 demand for flowers as valentines, in De- 

 troit at least. This year only a moderate 

 sum of money was spent in this city 

 with the florists for valentines. At 

 Easter and Christmas all of the florists 

 doing a retail business receive a fair 

 share of the orders, but not so on St. 

 Valentine's day. The book and confec- 

 tionery stores have so trained the public 

 that the most of them never think of 

 flowers as valentines; consequently, the 

 florist who comes right out and shows 

 and tells the people that flowers and 

 plants are the most acceptable valentines, 

 gets the business. 



Various Notes. 



Breitmeyer's Sons have several big 

 decorations on hand for the near future. 

 Their St. Valentine business was most 

 satisfactory. 



W. B. Brown put in a busy St. Valen- 

 tine's day, decorating Masonic Temple 

 for the annual ball of the Oriental 

 Lodge. The decorations were unusually 

 elaborate and were nmch admired. 



The Bemb Floral Co. had a special 

 St. Valentine's rush. A. Pochelon usually 

 has some cute little original ideas for a 

 day like St. Valentine's and, even though 

 his store is where it is hard to find, people 

 always manage to locate it. 



The window of E A. Fetters' store 

 was prettily trimmed the week previous 

 to Valentine's day. Many ways of using 

 flowers as valentines were shown, result- 

 ing in a big increase over last year's 

 sales. H. S.
