The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



Febrdahy 24, 1910. 



lisbed for the same reason, indicating that 

 the result of publication lias been to deter 

 dealers from continuing the sale of adul- 

 terated seeds. Of the nineteen names in 

 this circular irhich have previously ap- 

 peared, only eight have appeared more 

 than once. 



' ' As has been formerly stated in these 

 publications, this Department will exam- 

 ine and report promptly as to the pres- 

 ence of adulterants and dodder in any 

 samples of seed submitted for that pur- 

 pose. According to the location of the 

 sender, these may be submitted to the 

 Seed Laboratory, at Washington, D. C, 

 or to any of the following laboratories 

 maintained through the cooperation of 

 this Department: Branch Seed Testing 

 Laboratory, Agricultural Experiment 

 Station, Columbia, Mo.; Branch Seed 

 Testing Laboratory, Agricultural Experi- 

 ment Station, Lincoln, Neb.; Branch 

 Seed Testing Laboratory, Oregon Agri- 

 cultural College, Corvallis, Ore." 



DETROIT. 



The Market. 



^Market conditions remain about the 

 same as reported last week. Business was, 

 perhaps, not quite so brisk, causing a 

 little jiiliug up of stock. Carnations es- 

 pecially are becoming somewhat of a 

 glut. Tulips in yellow and pink also are 

 too plentiful. Eoses are in good de- 

 mand and by no means abundant. Many 

 out of town shipments of roses arrive 

 dailj' at the various stores, to take care 

 of the demand. 



Club Meeting. 



A fairly well attended meeting of the 

 Detroit Florists' Club was held Monday 

 evening, February 21. The special event 

 of the evening was a paper entitled 

 "Cyclamen Culture," by Christ Win- 

 terich, of Defiance, O. The subject was 

 covered in a most thorough manner, in- 

 cluding every little detail in the success- 

 ful culture of cyclamen, from the care- 

 ful selection of the seed bearing plants 

 to the packing of the large plants full of 

 flowers for long distance shipment. After 

 reading his paper, Mr. Winterich was the 

 target for a fire of questions, each of 

 ■which he answered in a most able 

 manner. 



A new start was given the fall flower 

 show when a goodly sum was guaranteed 

 by the members present. A special meet- 

 ing was called, to be held Wednesday 

 evening, February 23, at the Michigan 

 Cut Flower Exchange, to further the 

 plans for the show. 



Variout Notes. 



B. Schroeter has been having a steady 

 run of funeral work, which has more than 

 kept all hands biisy. Mr. Schroeter is 

 contemplating the purchase of a large 

 delivery auto. 



E. A. Fetters' window was again pret- 

 tily trimmed this week, in honor of 

 Washington's birthday. Mr. Fetters 

 spends perhaps more time in trimming 

 his window than most Detroit florists, 

 but this is one way of advertising where 

 the results can be traced. 



Breitmeyer's have an immense store 

 and more window space than the average 

 store and they always manage to have 

 them well filled with a nice lot of well 

 grown plants. Their store is always kept 

 most attractive, with beautiful vases 

 filled with choice flowers. 



The Detroit Cut Flower Supply House 

 is handling a nice lot of carnations.
