August 3, 1911. 



DETBOIT. 



The Market. 



"Witli tJie advent of another spell of 

 warm weather, business became more 

 quiet .itg£iiii after a short busy time. 



.Stock is greatly improved in qjaality; 

 roses and asters, especially, are Ufetter* 

 than a week ago. The supply is>aJso: 

 not so limited and indications are that 

 there will be no more trouble' on this 

 score this season. 



Gladioli are coming in quantity and 

 are of good quality. 



Various Notes. 



Mr. and Mrs. Bissinger, of Lansing, 

 were in the city Monday, July 31, to 

 attend the outing to Peche Island. 



Miss Julia Dreher, of W. B. Brown's 

 staff, has just returned from a long 

 vacation. 



Most of the downtowji retail florists 

 closed their stores Monday afternoon, 

 .luly 31, in order to enable theif em- 

 ])loyees to attend the outing given by 

 the Michigan Cut Flower ' Exchange. 

 This never before happened in this city 

 as far back as the writer can remember, 

 but there is no reason why a flower 

 store <an not close for a half day once 

 during * the year, when grocers and 

 butclKTS do it. 



Hubert Pearce, proprietor of the De- 

 troit Cut Flower Supply House, has 

 been cohfined to his home for many 

 weeks with a severe attack of rheuma- 

 tism. After nearly three weeks in bed, 

 Mr. Pearce is now able to get about on 

 crutches and is confident that he will 

 soon be back in his office. 



What remains of the greenhouses 

 occupied for the last tliirty years by 

 Stephen Tapliu, at Twenty-fourth street 

 and Fort street, west, is being removed. 

 Mr. Taplin's sons, who have been run- 

 ning the establishment for some time, 

 have gone out of l>usiness. About thirty- 

 five years ago the houses belonged to 

 Ferrand & Osborne, Mr. Taplin being 

 manager. Later thev were sold to Hub- 

 1 ard & Davis; then Mr. Davis acquired' 

 sole ownershi]), and about thirty years 

 ago Mr. Taplin, who was still manager, 

 bought out Mr. Davis. 



On Monday, July ."Jl, the florists of 

 Detroit and vicinity, with their friends, 

 spent a most en.ioyable afternoon as the 

 guests of the Michigan Cut Flower Ex- 

 change. At 2 p. m. the party boarded 

 the beautiful new steamer, St. Claire, 

 and were taken on a trip up and down 

 the river. Dancing and refreshments 

 added to the pleasure. In all, there must 

 have been fully .'SOO people on board. 

 The weather was ideal. Among the 

 party were A. Miller and President 

 H. E. Philpott, of the Chicago Florists' 

 Olnb. 



The conservatory and greenhouses at 

 the residence of th« Ut^ O. S<>otton «re 

 being torn down. Harry Pickworth, 

 now with Asman & Dunn, was gardener 

 for many years at Mr.' Scotton 's. 



On Monday evening. August 7, the 

 annual election of officers of the De- 

 troit Florists' Club will take place. 

 Eyery member is urged to attend this 

 meeting, as much of importance, besides 

 the election, is on the program. 



Thursday, July 27, B. Schroeter cele- 

 brated his seventieth hirthday. Mr. 

 Schroeter does not show his age; in fact, 

 he is the first and last man on the job 

 every day in the year, and has just com- 

 menced the erection of a beautiful new 

 store and conservatory at .56 Broadway. 



Wm. Starret, of the Kenneth Ander- 



son Co., together with his wife, spent a 

 most enjoyable afternoon at the Michi- 

 gan Cut Flower Exchange outing to 

 Peche Island. 



Mrs. J. F. Srtllivan had to undergo 

 another operation last Fi'iday, but is 

 now resting much more easily and her 

 speedy recovery is hoped for, H. S. 



NEW BEDFORD, MA3S. 



The Market. 



' Flowers are a little more plentiful 

 bwing to the recent rains, and asters 

 are coming in regularly and show a 

 ^te6dy'iitiprt)vemerit in quality. Carna-. 

 tiohs are small and will soon Ije thrown 

 out to make room for the young stock 

 from the fields. Boses are quite good 

 for this time of the year and sweet peas 

 are blooming freely on account of the 

 rain. Some of the growers are bench- 

 ing their young carnations and the 

 stock looks fine. Funeral work is good 

 and uses up lots of short-stemmed stock. 

 The retail prices are as follows: 

 Asters, 35 to 50 cents per dozen; carna- 

 tions, 35 cents; roses, .$1 to $1.50; 

 sweet peas, 50 cents per hundred; 

 gladioli, $1 per dozen. 



Varioiis Notes. 



We are having unsettled weather, 

 with lots of rain. 



Vacations are now the order of the 

 davand earlj' closing is the rule.
