The Florists' Review 



OCTOBBB 8, 1914. 



DETROIT. 



The Market. 



As the weather has been fine for out- 

 door sports, the flower buyers have not 

 started their usual entertaining indoors. 

 This would, of course, mean a loss of 

 some business for the florists, but on 

 the whole there is no reason to com- 

 plain. 



Never before has the local supply of 

 dahlias been so good as this season and 

 this flower is now recognized as being 

 of considerable value commercially, 

 though but a few years ago dahlias 

 were hardly ever seen in this market. 

 Carnations are coming along nicely, 

 with fairly long stem and blootns of 

 good size. Eoses are of fine quality 

 and the supply is such as to bring the 

 prices within easy reach of all buyers. 



Various Notes. 



Hudson's store was appropriately 

 decorated for the fall' opening by 

 Breitmeyer 's. This firm also did the 

 decorating for the fall opening of the 

 Crowley-Millner Co. 



B. Schroeter had the fall opening 

 decorations for the Newcomb-Endicott 

 Co. In addition to several hundred 

 palms and ferns, several thousand 

 roses and Beauties were used. 



E. A. Fetters' window is most at- 

 tractively decorated in autumn colors, 

 with highly colored crotons predom- 

 inating. Mr. Fetters spent several 

 days last week in Grand Kapids with 

 the Kotary Club. 



Mark Sullivan, editor of Collier's 

 Weekly and a brother of J. F. Sulli- 

 van, was a recent visitor in this city.

At the annual dahlia show of the 

 Connecticut Horticultural Society, held 

 September 23 and 24 in Unity hall, the 

 displays by commercial growers at- 

 tracted a great deal of attention. George 

 L. Stillman, of Westerly, E. I., showed 

 in the neighborhood of 200 varieties of 

 dahlias, it is stated, and carried off the 

 first prize for fifty varieties of three 

 blooms each, as well as many other 

 prizes. Other professionals who figured 

 largely in the list of dahlia awards are: 

 N. Nelson, of Hartford j C. Louis Ailing, 

 of West Haven; Alfred E. Doty, of New 

 Haven; Nathaniel Slocombe, of Farm- 

 ington; Warren S. Mason, and John F. 

 Huss, of Hartford. Most of these ex- 

 hibitors also won prizes in the classes 

 for asters, gladioli, vegetables, etc. W. 

 W. Hunt & Co., of Hartford, received a 

 special diploma for their exhibit of bay 

 trees and boxwoods, and took second 

 place in the hardy perennial class.
