ThcWcckly Florists^ Review* 



Mabch 21, 1912. 



DETEOIT, MICH. 



The Market. 



While the outlook was rather dull, 

 business picked up toward the end of 

 last week, resulting in a clean-up of all 

 available stock on the market. Carna- 

 tions and roses piled up, but the spe- 

 cial sales relieved this situation Friday 

 and Saturday. 



On the whole the prices which stock 

 brought were nothing startling, but 

 almost any price is better than the ash 

 barrel. 



Until now we have had winter weath- 

 er, but the last few days brought a 

 heavy thaw and indications are that 

 spring has come at last. Bulb stock is, 

 of course, plentiful, especially yellow 

 daffodils. Lilies are also seen in large 

 quantities. 



Various Notes. 



A most cordial invitation is extended 

 to all florists, their wives and employees 

 to spend Monday evening, March 25, 

 at the beautiful new establishment of 

 the Bemb Floral Co. There will be 

 music and plenty of lunch. Florists 

 from anywhere in the universe are wel- 

 come. While the store, which, by the 

 way, will be one of the finest and most 

 complete flower stores in the country, 

 is practically completed, Mr. Pochelon 

 will not open it to the public until 

 about Wednesday, March 27, with a 

 formal opening later. 



One of the most attractive show 

 windows on Woodward avenue last 

 week was that of J. F. Sullivan. It 

 was a typical St. Patrick 's day window. 

 In one corner stood a large painting of 

 St. Patrick. In the foreground were 

 numerous snakes, apparently winding 

 their way over the grass amidst clumps 

 of shamrock plants; to top off the whole, 

 a small piece of the famous Blarney 

 stone was conspicuous. 



This is spring opening week at the 

 stores and it has kept some of the flo- 

 rists decidedly busy. J. L. Hudson's 

 store was tastefully decorated by 

 Breitmeyer's staff. B. Schroeter sup- 

 plied the decoration for Crowley, Milner 

 & Traver, and the Bird Co. openings. 



Walter Mundt was elected a member 

 of the Detroit Florists' Club at a re- 

 cent meeting. 



About April 1 Hufford & Mabius will 

 move from their present quarters to 

 their new location at 247-249 Eandolph 

 street, where they will have all modern 

 conveniences to be found in a first- 

 class flower store. H. S. 



Provincetown, Mass. — James Biram 

 has been making preparations for the 

 erection of another greenhouse, 24x60.
