New Carnations- 1 908 -09 



Mrs. Chas. Knopf 



A grand variety; comes Into bloom early and remains steady the balance of the season. 

 One of the best varieties that has ever been introduced, and bound to surpass the grand 

 old variety. Enchantress, from which it is a seedling;. Desorlptlon:— The color of Mrs. 

 Ghaa. Knopf is somewhat darker than Enchantress durlag the winter months. The flower is 4^ inches and over, with a better form than 

 Enchantress, well built up in the center and has a wide guard petal with stifFness that gives it a grand make-up in general. Having much 

 more substance and the petals being stifTer, it keeps and ships much better than the above variety. The calyx is very stiff and large, 

 giving the flower a chance to develop freely, and does not burst as much as Enchantress. The habit is ideal: closely resembles Enchant- 

 ress, but produces more flowers. Can be grown either from the field or Inside all summer. Likes a temperature of 50 to 52. The stem is 

 24 inches and over, holds the flower up gracefully at all times of the year. It gives good stems the first crop. One of the grandest yet 

 sent out and is bound to surpass the old variety, Enchantress. 



Beautiful scarlet-crimson, one of the best ever sent out. Does not turn black with age or after shipping. The size of 

 the flower is 3 to 8^ inches, with a grand form, built up well in the center, having the most substance of any flower we 

 know of. One of the best shippers and keepers. The calyx is short, but of tough texture and well expanded, giving the 

 flower freedom to expand. The habit is ideal; easy to handle; does well from fleld or grown inside all summer. Temperature, 50 to 62. 

 Very free producer and continuing throughout the season. The stem is 24 to 80 inches, and the first crop is very stifT, but holds up 

 the flower gracefully at all times of the year. This variety is sure to give satisfaction and find a place among the standards. 



Tbe above varletleB. $18.00 per 100; $100.00 per 1000; 2SU at 1000 rate.

DETROIT. 



The Market 



Trade has been active all the week. A 

 steady demand for funeral work has kept 

 stock of every description continually on 

 the move. The supply has been about 

 equal to the demand, except in the case 

 of white roses and carnations. White 

 Enchantress is the principal white vari- 

 ety grown hereabouts, and the fact that 

 these are off crop with most of the 

 growers about the same time accounts 

 for the scarcity of white carnations. 



Various Notes. 



Mrs. J. F. Sullivan suffered a severe 

 attack of blood poisoning last week, and 

 for several days was in a critical condi- 

 tion. Monday, March 22, she appeared 

 to be resting more easily, and the at- 

 tending physicians were well pleased with 

 the prospects for her recovery. 



The home of E. A. Fetters was the 

 scene of a rather disastrous fire early 

 Tuesday evening, March 16. Among other 

 things, a number of valuable paintings 

 were destroyed. 



George Browne, of Greenfield, came 

 very close to having pneumonia, but for- 

 tune favored him at the last minute, let- 

 ting him off with a severe cold. 



Openings were in order in many of 

 our leading stores last week, calling for 

 many palms, baskets, etc. B. Schroeter's 

 staff were kept on the jump all the week. 



The Michigan Cut FJower Exchange is 

 handling extra fine fancy ferns. 



The Detroit Landscape Gardening Co., 

 with headquarters at 947 Baldwin ave- 

 nue, is the new concern of which Henry 

 C. Fruck is manager. 



The Lorraine Flower Shop reports 

 trade as bejng very gratifying. The bal- 

 ance of the business in which the firm 

 was interested has changed hands, but 

 this will in no way affect the Flower 

 Shop. H. S. 



Fitzgerald, Ga. — Business is fair and 

 there are excellent prospects ahead, be- 

 cause the cold nights during the big 

 freeze killed practically all the plants 

 outdoors. Joel Thomas says this ought 

 to lead to a big increase in the business 

 this spring.

New Pompon 

 Chrysanthemum 



"Baby Margaret" 



A sport from "BABY" (Yellow) 



This, we think, is the most valuable Pompon 

 to date; is pure white and of as fine form as the 

 famous yellow "Baby." Indispensable for 

 funeral work, brides' bouquets, wedding table 

 decorations and many other purposes.
