The Weekly Florists' Review* 



OCTOBEB 14, 1<J(^ 



DETROIT. 



The Market 



Several days of warm, sunny weather 

 have done little to relieve the struggle 

 for flowers, Roses are not any too plen- 

 tiful; still, if other flowers were to be 

 had in any quantity, the rose situation 

 would not bo so bad. A few white mums 

 made their appearance Monday and, with 

 a little more sun, these will soon be ar- 

 riving in quantity. 



The whole trouble lies with the carna- 

 tions. For every flower arriving at the 

 wholesale houses there seems to be a half 

 dozen buyers. Those flotists who have 

 some glass of their own devoted to car- 

 nations are indeed fortunate just at 

 present. The quality of the carnations 

 is not bad, if only the supply would in- 

 crease. 



The demand for house plants is good. 

 Bostons are more popular than ever, and 

 many dozens are sold daily. Fancy ferns 

 also are in good demand. Ficus pandu- 

 rata is quite popular with the buyers of 

 more expensive plants. Some of the re- 

 tailers do a big business in filling fern 

 dishes, and while it takes much of this 

 work to run into money, still it all helps. 



The baseball bugs were buzzing around 

 on Detroit 's streets Sunday and Monday, 

 and whole swarms of them were seen on 

 the avenue, wearing yellow mums. This 

 special demand for yellow chrysanthe- 

 mums has cleaned up the Detroit market, 

 and out-of-town stock had to be used to 

 fill out the gaps. J. F. Sullivan had sev- 

 eral hundred sent from Chicago, and up 

 to nooti nn Monday he reported n good 

 •ale. 



Varioui Notes. 



A)i .iLWoiiiobile wliieli is attracting 

 Jiiueli att«ntioH on the streets of Detroit 

 is the elaborate delivery car of Breit- 

 raeyer's Sons. Seemingly the question 

 of expense was not thought of when the 

 car was designed. The motive power is 

 derived from an engine of the Grabow- 

 sky type. The engine is placed away up 

 in front, under the dash, giving easy ac- 

 cess to it in case of trouble. Heavy solid 

 tires do away with the cost of tire main- 

 tenance. The body is larger than the 

 average delivery wagon. Mr. Breitmeyer 

 is well pleased with his investment. 



The Travor-Bird Co. 's store was elabo- 

 rately decorated for the annual opening 

 by B. Sehroeter, who has been doing the 

 lecorating for this firm for many years. 



The large dry goods store of J. L. 

 Hudson was appropriately decorated by 

 Breitmeyer 's men for the fall opening.
