The Florists' Review 



Jandaby 80, 1013. 



DETROIT. 



The Market. 



Business remains good and stock 

 ficarce, though some relief is found in 

 the arrival of spring flowers. Sweet 

 peas are coming along nicely and meet 

 with a ready sale, especially as corsage 

 flowers. Never in the history of Detroit 

 have corsages been so popular and all 

 the stores are getting their share of this 

 business. Nothing special remains to 

 be said of the market, except that the 

 florists do not fear the approach of Lent 

 as in past years. If it is not flowers 

 for dinners, then it is funeral work, 

 and there is always something doing. 



Various Notes. 



W. T. Barthel, who until recently 

 was in the employ of Theo. Michel, will 

 about February 1 open a retail store 

 at 996 Mount Elliot avenue, at the 

 corner of Gratiot avenue. 



A baby girl arrived at the home of 

 Albert Stahelin, in Bedford, Mich., Jan- 

 uary 16. Both baby and mother are 

 doing well and have the best wishes of 

 Mr. Stahelin 's numerous friends in the 

 trade. 



Some blooms of a deep pink sport of 

 Eose-pink Enchantress, grown by Chas. 

 A. Benson, of Denver, Colo., were re- 

 cently received by the Detroit Cut 

 Flower Supply House. These flowers 

 proved to be unusually fine keepers and 

 had fine, wiry stems and a good calyx. 

 Many favorable comments were heard. 



Prof. Filbert Roth, dean of the for- 

 estry department of the University of 

 Michigan, delivered an address on 

 "Michigan and Its Needs" at a lunch- 

 eon given by the conservation commit- 

 tee of the Twentieth Century Club at 

 noon, January 23. Among the guests of 

 the society were Eobert Flowerday, 

 E. A. Fetters, Frank Danzer and Hugo 

 Schroeter. 



Otto Blatt, foreman at Gus. H. 

 Taepke's McClellan avenue houses, cele- 

 brated his twenty-fifth anniversary, 

 January 21 — not his wedding anniver- 

 sary, but twenty-five years of continuous 

 service in Mr, Taepke's employ, the 

 last ten years in the capacity of fore- 

 man. Mr, Blatt is well known to the 

 trade and, even though carnations have 

 been scarce, he has had a good cut all 

 along on his plants. 



Sadness again reigns in the home of 

 J. F. McHugh, where but a short time 

 ago the eldest son died. Now the mother 

 has also been taken to that Great Be- 

 yond from which there is no recall. 

 Mrs. McHugh suffered a stroke of paral- 

 ysis at the time of the death of her son 

 and gradually became weaker until 

 death ended her suffering on Sunday, 

 January 19. 



Peter Papes, formerly with the Alpha 

 Floral Co., of Chicago, and Peter Duris, 

 also of Chicago, opened a retail flower 

 store in the new Broadway theater 

 building, January 27. While their store 

 is not a large one, it is finely equipped 

 and in a good location. H. S. 



Detroit, Mich. — The Evergreen ceme- 

 tery cottteftipiates erecting its first 

 greenhouse during this year, and oper- 

 ating it in connection with the ceme- 

 tery, to furnish the lot owaers with 

 plants and cut flowers. The «Hperhitl9ii- 

 dent, W. K. Nible, has been instructed 

 to procure a suitable plan for the house, 

 which will be ornamental as well as 

 useful.
