The Weekly Florists' Review* 



AnonsT 17, 1911. 



DETROIT. 



The Market. 



Business remains good considering 

 the time of the year. Stock is plenti- 

 ful at present; in fact, there is an over- 

 abundance of gladioli and asters. So 

 far good asters have been few and far 

 between, this being no doubt one rea- 

 son so many remain unsold at the 

 wholesale houses, as the demand for 

 good asters has not been supplied. 



Koses are quite plentiful and of good 

 quality. A good supply of Beauties in 

 different lengths are taking the place 

 of red roses, the latter being quite 

 scarce. Sweet peas are short of stem. 



Various Notes. 



Ernest Sullivan has just returned 

 from a tour through New York state. 



Indications are that begonias will 

 be rather scarce on this market this 

 season. 



Sobert Klagge, of Mount Clemens, 

 and a staff of assistants, are busy 

 planting thousands of bulbs. 



J. Carey, of Mount Clemens, and 

 Mr. and Mrs. Henry Rahaley, of De- 

 troit, left Wednesday, August 16, for 

 Atlantic City. Mr. Carey expected to 

 spend some time at the S. A. F. conven- 

 tion. 



When interviewed by the writer last 

 week, August Von Boeselager, of the 

 Bath City, was busy planting carna- 

 tions. Many improvements have ueen 

 made by Mr. Von Boeselager on his al- 

 ready most modern place, one being the 

 forming of an immense cistern under 

 the whole potting shed. Into this cis- 

 tern empties all the rain water, which 

 is then pumped into the watering pipes 

 by a gas engine. Mr. Von Boeselager 

 intends to have no trouble with sulphur 

 in the water. 



From present indications the supply 

 of chrysanthemums from Mount Clem- 

 ens this coming season will be the best 

 ever. J. Carey has a bench of ex- 

 ceptionally fine October Frost, which 

 will soon show color. 



Mr. and Mrs. E. A. Scribner are at- 

 tending the S. A. F. convention. 



An heir to the throne arrived at the 

 home of our president, George E. 

 Browne, Tuesday, August 8. Both 

 mother and child are doing well. 



Fred Graessle, of Schroeter 's, is away 

 spending two weeks' vacation and, inci- 

 dentally, several weeks' pay. 



B. Schroeter 's Buick delivery car, 

 which has already covered over 15,000 

 miles, has been repainted and looks 

 like new. H. S,
