The Florists' Review 



Januaby 16, 1918. 



DETROIT. 



The Market. 



Trade was fairly good last week. 

 Stock is still scarce. Boses are nowhere 

 near being equal to the demand. Car- 

 nations are arriving in larger shipments 

 than for some time, but still the supply 

 is inadequate. Lilies are also unusually 

 scarce. Bulb stock is becoming more* 

 plentiful as the season advances. Yel- 

 low daffodils and freesias are already 

 in fairly good supply and are selling 

 readily. The same is true of Paper 

 White narcissi. A few tulips are ar- 

 riving daily and selling at sight. Some 

 fine sweet peas are now available. "Val- 

 ley is selling by the thousands. Greens 

 of every description are in heavy de- 

 mand. 



Various Notes. 



Robert Jean, proprietor of the Scrib- 

 ner Floral Co., is much pleased with 

 the manner in which business has 

 opened up this year. This firm was the 

 first in this city to use an auto for 

 delivery purposes and has just secured 

 a Ford car to replace the former ma- 

 chine. 



The Florists' Telegraph Delivery As- 

 sociation is being extensively advertised 

 by its secretary, Albert Pochelon, of 

 Detroit. It also has a walking delegate 

 in the form of Sam Seligman, of Wer- 

 theimer Bros., who has his sample case 

 and order book pasted over with circu- 

 lars recently issued by Mr. Pochelon. 



A felon on one's finger is nothing 

 pleasant under any circumstances, and 

 when a man so full of business as 

 Michael Bloy is compelled to put in 

 three sleepless nights on account of 

 having a felon on his finger, it is seri- 

 ous, indeed. 



S. S. Skidelsky has been in the city 

 for a week, negotiating some important 

 business. 



The Michigan Cut Flower Exchange 

 has been awarded the contract to sup- 

 ply the southern smilax to be used in 

 decorating for the automobile show. 

 The order calls for two carloads of 

 smilax, which is the largest quantity 

 used here on one decoration for some 

 time. This firm has just put in a car- 

 load of a fine grade of sphagnum moss. 



Hubert Pearce has been in Colorado 

 for some time, installing steam traps. 



Mr. and Mrs. E. A. Fetters treated 

 their whole staff, from the errand boy- 

 and his best girl to the head book- 

 keeper and her best fellow, to a full 

 course dinner. During the evening the 

 party was entertained by Mrs. Fetters 

 and all enjoyed themselves immensely. 



The Detroit Cut Flower Supply 

 House is constantly adding more ship- 

 pers of first-class stock. 



The regular meeting of the Detroit 

 Florists' Club will be held Monday 

 evening, January 20. An exceptionally 

 good attendance is looked for, as the 

 members are well rested after the rush.

 1911, St. Paul and Cleveland Flower Shows, 1912. 



The Herald is an early, free and continuous bloomer, giving a heavy crop 

 by October 1 and continuously afterwards. Cuttings propagated in March made 

 large plants and were in full crop by October 1. They gave a h^avy cut for 

 Christmas. 



The flowers are large; full and deep calyx, which is absolutely non- 

 bursting; stem long and stiff; color is a clear, even shade of scarlet. 



Cuttings, strong and well rooted, ready for delivery, $12.00 per 100, 

 $100.00 per 1000. All stock guaranteed. 



STANDARD VARIETIES READY 



We are propagating from flowering stems only, not from cut back stock. 



Propagating from stem cuttings only insures perfect health 



and the most free-flowering qualities. 



Renew your standard varieties by g^ettingr healthy 

 cuttings from the stock that produced the blooms 

 which won more prizes at the fall exhibitions than 

 were won by the flowers of any other g^rower.
