DETROIT. 



The Market. 



Last week was a pretty busy one for 

 «any of the florists. The opening of a 

 large new dry goods store created an un- 

 usually l8(fge\demand for flowers and 

 plants. As blooming plants were scarce, 

 many hundreds of Beauties were used in 

 their place. 



There is a great abundance of first- 

 alaae stock in this market daily, but the 

 demand has been so steady that every 

 day sees it well cleaned up. Roses are 

 eflpeeially fine, Kaiserin attracting partic- 

 ular attention. Beauties, from 6-inch 

 stock to blooms with 4-foot stems, are 

 plentiful and of fine quality. 



Carnations in all varieties are good in 

 both color and stem, and are bringing 

 good prices. Sweet peas are becoming a 

 little more plentiful. 



There is a remarkable scarcity of 

 flowers suitable for funeral design work, 

 white carnations for backgrounds being 

 especially scarce. 



Though Mothers' day did not create 

 any great demand for flowers locally, 

 still this day undoubtedly has a great 

 future, its success depending much on the 

 retail florists. The seed has been sown 

 and is already well rooted; all it needs 

 now is liberal watering and lots of light 

 in the form of advertising and talking 

 up. Many out-of-town shipments were 

 made by our commission houses, resulting 

 directly from Mothers' day. 



Various Notes. 



Frank Holznagle, in Highland Park, 

 just a block north of the city limits, 

 is gradually building up a good retail 

 business, being located in a fine residen- 

 tial section. Mr. Holznagle last week 

 executed an order for a horseshoe stand- 

 ing nine feet high, to be used for a 

 store opening. 



The Breitmeyer Cut Tlower Co., of 

 Mount Clemens, Fred Breitmeyer, pro- 

 prietor, is sending large shipments of 

 excellent roses daily, the Beauties being 

 especially fine. 



B, Schroeter supplied the decora- 

 tions for the Elliott-Taylor-Wolfenden 

 opening, using many palms, ferns, box- 

 wood and laurel. 



The next meeting of the club should 

 prove a most interesting one to the grow- 

 ers, as a great fuel-saving device is to 

 be fully explained by its inventor. 



H. S. 



NORKISTOWN, Pa. — Adolph MuUer, pro- 

 prietor of the flower store at 57 East 

 Main street, has sold his interest in the 

 Acorn Hill Nurseries, at North Wales, 

 Pa., and will devote his entire attention 

 to the store.
