DETROIT. 



Tlie Market 



The heavy call for funeral work con- 

 tinues, but with all this, flowers of all 

 kinds, except roses, are a glut on the 

 market. Eoses still are quite scarce and, 

 as stated last week, it takes large ship- 

 ments from out of town to help supply 

 the demand. It is with the colored car- 

 nations that the trouble lies. With the 

 price so low that it hardly pays the 

 growers to pick them, there are thou- 

 sands thrown out. Bulb stock also is 

 altogether too plentiful, especially tulips, 

 daffs and valley. The latter has been in 

 good demand all along and it is rather 

 unusual to have it pile up. There has 

 been an overabundance of sweet peas 

 and forget-me-nots. Greens of all kinds 

 clean up well and Asparagus plumosus 

 sprays are scarce. 



Various Notes. 



J. r. Sullivan was compelled to walk 

 several mUes in a recent blizzard at mid- 

 night, and he froze both his ears badly. 

 He was laid up several days, but is again 

 on the job. 



Many thousands of fancy ferns are 

 packed and shipped daily from the Mich- 

 igan Cut Flower Exchange, going to all 

 parts of the state. 



Thos. Browne gave the members of the 

 finance committee of the Florists' Club 

 the use of his touring car for two days, 

 and much of their success in obtaining 

 so liberal a guarantee fund for the fall 

 show is due to his efforts. H. S. 



Ann Arbor, Mich. — G. Bischoff, one 

 of the leading retailers here, has a fine, 

 up-to-date place and grows everything 

 that he needs in his line of trade. He 

 has two houses of carnations, one house 

 of roses, one house of palms and ferns, 

 two houses of bedding plants, one house 

 of lettuce, and one house of smilax with 

 side benches of Sprengeri. John Feme, 

 of Mr. Bischoff 's place, says that busi- 

 ness is good, as this is a great university 

 town, with about 5,000 students, who 

 spend their money liberally for flowers.

 large flower and exceptional keeping qualities. It is in perfect

PINK DELIQHT. Clear waxy shell pink. The variety that 

 won over Enchantress at the A. C. S. meeting, Indianapolis

 keeping and shipping carnation in the light pink class. .

 well shaped growth, and the April cnttinga of this variety are as good as
