DETROIT. 



The Market. 



Business last week was satisfactory 

 to all concerned. Boses were not any 

 too plentiful, while carnations were in 

 heavy supply. Toward the end of the 

 week the demand was not equal to the 

 occasion. Bulbous stock is moving 

 nicely, as are also peas, violets and 

 valley. Considerable southern smilax 

 was used for decorating last week. 



Various Notes. 



Herman Knope, foreman for Breit- 

 meyer's, is suffering from a nervous 

 breakdown, having been ill practically 

 all winter. 



B. Schroeter has commenced getting 

 his temporary quarters at 90 Broadway 

 into shape, so that he can move on a 

 few days' notice. 



Philip Breitmeyer and wife returned 

 home February 26. Mrs. Breitmeyer 

 had been in the east, while the ex- 

 mayor spent a few weeks in Cuba and 

 the south. He will address the mem- 

 bers of the Detroit Florists' Club Mon- 

 day evening, March 6, giving a talk on 

 the trip. H. S. 



BAK HABBOB, ME. 



John H. Stalford, who last fall pur- 

 chased the property known as the Mal- 

 vern Greenhouses, with an adjoining 

 tract of land, has completed the work 

 of renovating and rebuilding, and his 

 place is now a model of completeness 

 and convenience. The grounds them- 

 selves are particularly attractive, being 

 almost entirely surrounded by tall 

 trees. 



The old greenhouses and other build- 

 ings were removed and a new range, 

 containing 11,000 square feet of glass, 

 was built. Two houses will be used for 

 melons in summer and for carnations 

 the rest of the season. Besides these 

 there is a grapery, a house for palms 

 and ferns, two plant houses and a 

 storage house. All the work of con- 

 struction, including the installation of 

 the heating system, was in charge of 

 the Lord & Burnham Co. The heating 

 outfit includes one Burnham boiler, two 

 Hitchings boilers and a Castle circu- 

 lator. Adjoining the greenhouses is a 

 roomy and handily arranged service 

 building, containing an office with a 

 fireproof vault, a potting room with 

 seed cases, a tool shed, a packing room, 

 a bulb room, a sleeping apartment pro- 

 vided with modern conveniences, and a 

 baseinent for storage.
