DETROIT. 



The Market. 



Business has been having its ups 

 and downs lately. Some days trade is 

 more than can be nicely handled and 

 the next day there may be little doing. 

 Stock is scarce, excepting dark colored 

 carnations. Shipments of bulbous stock 

 are already quite heavy, but even this 

 is well cleaned up. 



Various Notes. 



Leopold Mallast, of Mt. Clemens, is 

 shipping some exceptionally fine peas 

 and snapdragon to the Detroit Cut 

 Flower Supply House. 



Carnations and peas at Stevens' place 

 in Mt. Clemens are bringing good re- 

 turns. Robert Klagge, just across the 

 way, can be proud of his single violets. 

 Some of his houses, those in which 

 his thousands of bulbs are coming into 

 bloom, remind one of the pictures of 

 the bulb fields in Holland. 



Fred Breitmeyer's whole plant is in 

 the pink of condition. The roses look 

 especially fine. The old range is partly 

 devoted to vegetable growing and 

 brings nice returns. Carey's roses were 

 always famous and this year is no ex- 

 ception. Aug. Von Boeselager, also of 

 the City of Baths, is growing a few 

 orchids. Here is a man who believes 

 in making his employees comfortable, 

 evidence of which is a pretty bungalow 

 just finished for his foreman. 



Mrs. E. A. Fetters has been appointed 

 on the board of directors of the Ladies ' 

 Society of American Florists by the 

 president, Mrs. James Boone, of Balti- 

 more. 



A vote of thanks was tendered Mrs. 

 C H. Maynard and Mrs. E. A. Fetters 

 by the Detroit florists for their coopera- 

 tion in entertaining the visitors to the 

 rose and carnation convention. 



The work on the beautiful new store 

 and conservatory of the Bemb Floral 

 Co. is progressing nicely and Mr. Poch- 

 elon should be nicely settled in his new 

 quarters by Easter. The florists of De- 

 troit can surely feel proud of an estab- 

 lishment such as Mr. Pochelon is build- 

 ing. He is overflowing with good ideas 

 and all are being embodied in this new 

 store. H. S.

 houses had a narrow escape from fire 

 January 24. The loss did not exceed 

 $500.

About This Very Greenhouse 



ALL about it, and a good deal about some 60 others, is told 

 and illuBtrated in our new catalogue. And such splendid 

 illustrations as they are ! Many o1 them occupying a full 

 page — one of the interiors is printed in five colors. But, best of all, 

 it tells just the things you want to know and in just the way that 

 it's no trouble to find them. That's the kind of catalogue it is— 

 the kind of catalogue you want if you want a greenhouse. 

 Glad to send you a copy.
