The Weekly Florists' Review. 



Mabch 18, 1900. 



DETHOIT. , 



The Market 



Business has been brisk. There has 

 been a heavy run of funeral work and 

 St. Patrick's day created a big demand 

 for white carnations, which, naturally, 

 went up in price. All stock is moving 

 nicely. 



Vaiiout Notes. 



At the club meeting March 15, C. 

 Plumb read a paper on ' ' Dutch Bulbs. ' ' 

 The meeting was fairly well attended. 



Charles Plumb is exceptionally well 

 pleased with some White Killarney stock, 

 Waban variety, which has Just been re- 

 ceived. 



Messrs. Pochelon and Taepke have re- 

 turned from a very pleasant eastern trip. 

 Boston, New York and Philadelphia were 

 visited. Mr. Pochelon had shipped from 

 Wm. Sim, Boston, a bunch of 200 of 

 Boston single violets. The flowers were 

 by far the largest ever seen here, with 

 stems fully nine to twelve inches long. 



J. F. Sullivan's brother, Mark Sulli- 

 van, is one of the editorial staff of Col- 

 lier's Weekly and two of the leading ar- 

 ticles in the Inauguration number were 

 from his pen. 



A vase of Shasta carnation, from Baur 

 & Smith, Indianapolis, caused much fa- 

 vorable comment at the club's meeting 

 March 15. The flowers carried fine. 

 Shasta has a very wiry stem that carries 

 the good-sized, nicely-formed, pure white 

 flowers well. The well-shaped calyx was 

 especially commented upon. 



Some of the finest Beacon and En- 

 chantress seen are being shipped in by 

 Thos. Browne. h. S. 



SPARTA, WIS. 



Alfred Clemens, the night fireman at 

 the establishment of Z. K. Jewett & Co., 

 lost his life early Wednesday morning, 

 March 10, in a fire which partly de- 

 stroyed the greenhouses. His body was 

 found under a pile of rubbish near the 

 boiler, and was cnarred and disfigured al- 

 most beyond recognition. 



The boiler shed was burned and part 

 of the glass in each end of four houses 

 was broken. All of the stock was ruined, 

 either by the flames or by exposure to 

 the cold, as the temperature was then 8 

 degrees below zero. Two of the houses 

 are not considered worth repairing. The 

 loss is estimated at $2,500, with no insur- 

 ance. 



Beaumont, Tex.— C. J. Axelson has 

 built several large greenhouses on the 

 L. P. Ogden property at 1608 Bibb ave- 

 nue.
