DETROIT. 



The Market. 



* ' Something doing every minute ' ' are 

 the glad tidings from Detroit this week. 

 In fact, business has been lively for some 

 time. Funerals have created most of the 

 demand, but there have been some wed- 

 dings and social events to help matters. 

 There has also been a steady call for 

 plants. 



Considerable stock of all kinds is arriv- 

 ing daily, but it is usually cleaned up be- 

 fore evening. About the only stock 

 hanging fire is perhaps some varieties of 

 bulbous stuif. Tulips, especially, do not 

 move any too rapidly. 



There is every indication that lilies 

 will be a scarce article this Easter. Warm 

 weather would, of course, help consider- 

 ably, but the main reason for the scar- 

 city is the heavy losses some growers have 

 experienced through diseased plants. 



No doubt there will be plenty of 

 bulbous stock of all kinds for Easter. 



Various Notes. 



The two Bobs, Klagge and Eahaley, 

 took a flying trip to Canada last week. 

 At the Dale estate, Brampton, the vis- 

 itors were especially interested in the 

 construction of the greenhouses. The 

 Jennings plant was also visited. Here 

 the carnations and violets were far above 

 the average. In Toronto some of the re- 

 tail stores were seen, and a stop was 

 made at Dunlop 's, where the stock looked 

 tiptop. 



What are perhaps the finest Eichmond 

 ever produced in this vicinity, comparing 

 favorably with any ever grown, are being 

 shipped in by Eobert Klagge. » 



An observing person can learn much 

 by studying show windows, especially in 

 the florists' business. The clever window 

 decorator is continually showing new 

 ways of using flowers or plants. Or, per- 

 haps you will see what would otherwise 

 be an ordinary plant, so touched up as to 

 tempt many a purse. Not always the 

 largest stores have the best "silent sales- 

 men," either. In our city the window of 

 E. C. Fetters is one of the smallest, but 

 much about the art of arranging flowers 

 can be learned here. 



When heard from Monday, March 29, 

 Mrs. J. F. Sullivan was still seriously ill, 

 but the critical stage is past, and the fu- 

 ture looks bright again for J. F. 



A special meeting of the club was held 

 Monday evening, March 29, for the pur- 

 pose of further discussion of the fall 

 show question. ^H. S. 



Greenwich, Conn. — McMillan & Co., 

 florists, have attached the $18,000 auto- 

 mobile of James Everard, of this place, 

 who has disputed a bill of that firm.

NEW GERANIUMS 



If you are interested In Geraniums we would call your special attention to the collection 

 of 1907-1908 DoveltieB we have to offer this season, fully described on pages 3-17 of our 1909 

 Geranium Catalogue, as nearly as possible with the introducers' description. We have made 

 a specialty of importing new varieties for Beveral years, and fully believe that this represents 

 the best collection we have ever offered, or, in fact, the best collection ever gotten together 

 in this country: embracing a range of diversified coloring with combinations of marking 

 almost endless; every color and shade in Geraniums is among them.
