DETROIT. 



The Market 



A steady flow of business has Itept 

 stock moving nicely. With Lent over, so- 

 ciety is doing things again. One of the 

 largest, most elaborate weddings of the 

 season took place Wednesday, April 21. 

 This affair also called for a number of 

 dinners for the bride, in all using up 

 many hundreds of dollars' worth of flow- 

 ers. 



Various Notes. 



Daffodils came in so plentifully at Sul- 

 livan 's last week that they were obliged 

 to advertise a sale at 25 cents a dozen for 

 Saturday, in order to dispose of a part 

 of the surplus. 



Many dinners and the decorations for 

 the Stearns-Boyer wedding, April 21, kept 

 some of the florists on the jump. The 

 house and church decorations, which were 

 unusually elaborate, were carried out by 

 the Bemb Floral Co. 

 • E. A. Fetters and B. Schroeter both 

 had some costly tables to decorate for 

 the aforementioned function. 



With the spring weather coming on, 

 the call for laurels and boxwood has 

 again begun. H. S. 



Mayor Phil Breitmeyer opened the 

 baseball season here and got his picture 

 in the papers, tossing out the first ball. 



ERIE, PA. 



The usual reaction has set in and busi- 

 ness has been pretty quiet since Easter. 

 Stock is keeping up well, though the de- 

 mand is not so great. 



Miss Thekla Baur is visiting relatives 

 and friends at Toledo. 



Baur 's are putting in concrete benches 

 on their new place. B. P. 



Ogden, Utah. — John Chopp, Sr., an 

 early settler and one of the leading 

 florists of the city, died at Rock Springs, 

 Wyo., March 28, at the age of 76 years. 



Attleboro, Mass. — ^Business has been 

 excellent this spring, owing largely to a 

 demand for funeral work, but cut flowers 

 have been selling fairly well. Martin 

 Ockert reports an excellent Easter busi- 

 ness.

CONQUEST 



A new seedling Carnation to be disseminated next season. This is a variety that florists 

 have been wanting ever since they discarded Prosperity. 



CONQUEST '^ ' ''^''^ flesh-pink, overlaid with a deep rose-pink, the color extending 

 ■i.^— _ over the petals from the center almost to the edge. It does not fade, 

 making it a most beautiful and attractive flower. Its habit is somewhat on the order of Lawson, 

 although the stem is somewhat longer, and very stiff. The flowers are well filled and nicely 

 formed, which add to its attractiveness. Without a doubt, it will be the most attractive, as well 

 as the most profitable variety to be disseminated the coming season. 



Orders booked now for January 1, 1910, delivery. $12.00 per 100; $100.00 per 1000.

MARY TOLMAN 



A nevr Ugh.t aalznon pink Carnation, of a somewhat warmer tone than Enchant- 

 ress and does not fade on the ed^e ot the petals, having a clear, even shade all over the 

 flower, whith measures from 3 to 3^ inchf s, although 4-inch flowers are very common. The 

 stem is long and stiff holding the flower perfectly erect. The calyx is very strong, and as a 

 producer it comes early, is very free and continuous. 



Orders bo< ked now for January 1910 delivery. $12.00 per 100; $100.00 per 1000.
