DETROIT. 



The Market. 



Week number one of the New Year 

 was a busy one for some, while With 

 other retail stores it was quiet. Many 

 large funerals created a big demand for 

 flowers. Beauties and other roses are 

 none too plentiful at present, conse- 

 quently prices are high. Carnations 

 came along a little too fast for the 

 demand after New Year's, necessitating 

 a reduction in the market price. Some 

 of the growers are complaining of the 

 receipts for carnations during the holi- 

 days. Many of the carnations shipped 

 to the local commission houses were en- 

 tirely too old and no retailer with any 

 conscience at all would undertake to 

 sell them to his customers at the fabu- 

 lous prices some of the growers ex- 

 pected. 



Single daffodils and freesias are sell- 

 ing readily and are of good quality. 

 Good Paper "Whites and Romans are 

 plentiful and come in handy for the 

 large amount of funeral work. 



Sweet peas in all colors are now in 

 large crop and meet with a welcome 

 among the flower buyers, but put an- 

 other damper on the sale of violets. 

 This latter flower does not seem to be 

 as popular as in former years; at least, 

 such is the experience of Detroit florists. 



Various Notes. 



The annual dancing and card party 

 of the Detroit Florists' Club will be 

 given at Harmonia hall Thursday eve- 

 ning, January 19. 



A banquet at the Hotel Cadillac was 

 tendered by his many friends " to the 

 Hon. Philip Breitmeyer on his retire- 

 ment from the mayoralty January 9. 

 Among the florists to attend were: 

 Eobert Flowerday, Wm. Hielscher, Rob- 

 ert Eahaley, Albert StoU and J. F. Sul- 

 livan. 



Robert Flowerday, Jr., better known 

 to the trade as "Tut" Flowerday, and 

 Miss Petrequin, of this city, were mar- 

 ried "Wednesday, January 4. The happy 

 young couple are spending their honey- 

 moon in Chicago.

 siasts to attend the auto show in •''ew
