The Market. 



There is little or no change in the 

 condition of the market between this 

 and last week. Boses are just equal to 

 the demand, and range in prices from 

 $5 to $12 per hundred. Carnations are 

 quite plentiful, and are selling at $2 to 

 $4 per hundred. Sweet peas, with stems 

 from eight to twelve inches long and 

 the finest of blooms, are going in large 

 lots. Bulbous stock is plentiful, con- 

 siderable of it being lost, owing to its 

 being shipped in too far advanced. 

 Solnan hyacinths are becoming a drug. 

 Freesia also is going to waste. 



St. Valentine's day created a big 

 demand for such flowers as peas, vio- 

 lets, red roses and red carnations, many 

 shipments being made to surrounding 

 cities. 



Various Notes. 



At Mt. Clemens Fred Breitmeyer is 

 adding another house, 40x250, to the 

 new range. 



August Von Boeselager, also of the 

 City of Baths, left Europe February 11 

 for home. 



Everything looks rosy, says John 

 Klang, who recently gave up a good 

 position with Breitmeyer to embark in 

 the retail business. 



The business for many years con- 

 ducted by E. A. Scribner, at 604 East 

 Fort street, has been sold to Eobert W. 

 Jean, a young man of fine character 

 and good business ability, who has been 

 in Mr. Scribner 's employ since boyhood. 

 In all likelihood the firm will hereafter 

 be known as the Scribner Floral Co. 

 Mr. Scribner and his good wife, as he 

 puts it, intend to take a well-earned 

 and much-needed rest. 



A few years ago only one or two of 

 the retailers made any pretense of deco- 

 rating their show windows appropriate- 

 ly for St. Valentine's day. This year 

 every florist downtown showed some 

 valentine suggestions, and no doubt was 

 well repaid. H. S.

There are two kinds of 

 friends in business — those 

 who buy for friendship sake 

 and those who buy for busi- 

 ness sake. Those who are 

 friends for business sake gen- 

 erally last longer, because 

 the other friends go to your 

 competitors when they want 

 to beat down the price or 

 they are jealous of your suc- 

 cess. When the writer start- 

 ed in business he had many 

 friends in the trade. Some 

 of them promised him their 

 business if he started out for 

 himself ; but when he did 

 start there were very few 

 who kept their promise. It 

 was one of life's lessons, how- 

 ever, and now he is thankful 

 the tide turned that way, for 

 he is under no obligations 

 whatever to any of these so- 

 called friends. Business is 

 business, and that ends it. 



In buying bulbs, buy from 

 those who have the best to 

 offer. Make it a business 

 transaction. In lily bulbs 

 and in French bulbs the 

 Horseshoe Brand is superior 

 to anything on the market. 

 Try them for comparison.
