DETROIT. 



The Market. 



"When these few lines reach our read- 

 ers all indications are that Detroit flo- 

 rists will be in the midst of the best 

 Easter business ever experienced. All 

 kinds of cut flowers probably will be 

 found equal to the demand except per- 

 haps sweet peas and small rosebuds 

 for corsage purposes. Good violets also 

 will sell readily. The finest snaps ever 

 seen are available. 



In plants the market is well supplied. 

 In several instances lilies came with 

 short stems, but other growers had 

 more than the required number. Rho- 

 dodendrons will play an important part 

 this Easter, many beautiful specimens 

 being seen in the stores. Azaleas also 

 are of excellent quality. Bulbous stock 

 is plentiful and in most instances the 

 quality is good. Many splendid rose 

 plants of various kinds are available. 



Various Notes. 



The writer recently paid a visit to 

 the florists in the extreme western part 

 of the city and found them all busy 

 preparing for Easter. Gus. Knoch, 

 Ohas. Warncke and John Warncke 

 were visited and much fine stock was 

 seen. 



A trade show was held in the new 

 quarters of the Michigan. Cut Flower 

 Exchange April 1, the building prov- 

 ing as well adapted for show purposes 

 as it is for a wholesale house. The 

 lighting facilities nrezgood. John Din- 

 ser had a fine lot of bulbous stock, his 

 daffodils being exceptionally fine. His 

 lilies and azaleas also were much com- 

 mented upon by other growers. Fred 

 Miesel showed some fine genistas and 

 primroses. Beard Bros, showed roses, 

 bottle brush and acacia of excellent 

 quality. Fred Breitmeyer was on hand 

 with an attractive lot of Japanese ma- 

 ples and a fine vase of Philadelphia 

 carnation. Chas Plumb, one of our 

 largest plant growers, was equal to the 

 first priztf bn genistas, lilies and aza- 

 leas, his Blushing Bride azalea being 

 especially jftae. Arthur Von Beversluys 

 had a va.se of white carnations and a 

 delicate pink snapdragon, the latter at- 

 tracting much attention. Albert Stah- 

 elin showed two lots of snaps, one deli- 

 cate pink and the other deep pink, 

 both of which were excellently grown. 

 Mr. Stahelin recently returned from a 

 Chicago visit. Robert Klagge had the 

 cut flower field all to himself, with fine 

 Philadelphia carnations, valley, gladi- 

 oli, callas, Spanish iris, bulbous stock 

 and roses. J. F. Sullivan was the only 

 strictly retail man to make an exhibit 

 and took the prize on well grown palms 

 and aspidistras. He also showed some 

 fine lilies. J. M. Gasser Co., of Cleve- 

 land, showed a vase of cut American 

 Pillar roses, of the rambler type. They

 H. Maynard as manager. Mr. May- 

 nard reports having a number of first- 

 class growers who will consign their 

 stock to him. His quarters are well 

 equipped and, being already well known 

 to the trade, the success of the con- 

 cern seems assured.

 a new enterprise, known as the Glen- 

 dale Nursery Co. H. M. Hunter, for- 

 merly city forester, will act as man- 

 ager. Their aim is to build up a nurs-
