The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



March 31, 1910. 



DETROIT. 



The Market* 



The florists of Detroit have had some 

 big Easters in past years, but this year 's 

 rush was the biggest ever. We have 

 had remarkably fine weather so far this 

 month, rather more like June than March. 

 For the entire week preceding Easter, we 

 had continual sunshine, and it was so 

 warm that even spring coats were dis- 

 pensed with. It was entirely too warm 

 for the good of stock, but fine for Busi- 

 ness and delivering. 



In cut flowers, sweet peas, violets, 

 valley and carnations were entirely 

 cleaned up. Every available sweet pea 

 was cut and sold. Many callas were dis- 

 posed of, but good long-stemmed cut 

 Easter lilies were scarce, although the 

 market was fairly flooded with short 

 stuff. Roses sold well, with much good 

 stock available. 



Entirely too much bulb stock is being 

 grown hereabouts, and as a result thou- 

 sands of daffodils and tulips were 

 dumped Monday. 



White carnations were all sold out 

 Saturday, but large shipments arrived 

 Monday, as the result of the warm 

 weather. 



Eerns, leucothoe, asparagus, etc., sold 

 in large quantities. 



Various Notes. 



Charles Plumb has found it necessary 

 to place in service another large wagon 

 to assist in handling his ever-increasing 

 wholesale business. 



C. H. Maynard, who attended a ban- 

 quet at Rochester, N. Y., March 14, given 

 by the Rochester Florists' Association to 

 the executive committee of the S. A. F., 

 has nothing but words of praise for the 

 city and its florists and nurserymen. 



But for the help of William Dilger, 

 who donned his overalls last week and 

 gave a helping hand at the Michigan 

 Cut Flower Exchange, it is doubtful if 

 they could have handled the rush. Some 

 few years ago there were but two people 

 on the pay roll; now there are seven or 

 eight. 



J. A. Briscoe, for many years engaged 

 in the nursery business in Highland Park, 

 died at the age of 72 years, Friday, 

 March 2o. Further particulars will be 

 found in the obituary column. 



B. Schroeter placed an order, March 28, 

 with the Buick Motor Car Co. for one of 

 its florists' delivery wagons. U.S. 



Ansonia, Conn. — J. W. Willis, pro- 

 prietor of the Cottage avenue green- 

 houses, has opened a store in the Y. M. 

 C. A. building. The new place was ready 

 for business in time for Easter.
