The Weekly Florists' Review* 



JUNB 6, 1912. 



DETBOIT. 



The Market. 



The last week in May was quite a 

 busy one for all concerned. Those of 

 us who cater to the cemetery and gar- 

 dening trade were, of course, doubly 

 busy. Years ago it was only the ceme- 

 tery work which had to be completed 

 before Memorial day, but now the plant- 

 ing in every back yard must be done by 

 May 30 and, with several rainy days 

 as a setback, it kept some of the flo- 

 rists in hot water all the time. Memo- 

 rial day business was far better than 

 ever before and the florists of this 

 city mean to make it a big day in years 

 to come. This year considerable adver- 

 tising was done by the florists as a 

 whole, with extremely satisfactory re- 

 sults. 



Stock is just about equal to demand. 

 Carnations are just a little smaller. 

 Some fine La Detroit roses are coming 

 in and are most welcome. Peonies, peas, 

 snaps, miniature gladioli, etc., are plen- 

 tiful. Green is in big demand and al- 

 ways remains well cleaned up, especially 

 Asparagus plumosus. 



Various Notes. 

 .John B. Dinser, of Highland Park, 

 recently purchased a touring car and is 

 now in position to make rapid deliv- 

 eries. 



Mrs. Hugo Schroeter is visiting at 

 her old home at Newport, E. I. 



J. F. Sullivan's window was appro- 

 priately decorated for Memorial day. 

 As a setting for the various styles of 

 wreaths shown, a plot in a ceftietery 

 was nicely arranged. 



An automobile has been recently ac- 

 quired by Robert Jean, of the Scribner 

 Floral Co., to be used for both pleasure 

 and business. 



B. Schroeter has been using an open 

 Buick light delivery truck successfully 

 for handling his plant deliveries. 



Michael Bloy's annual plant sale is 

 each year becoming more popular and 

 this year over 50,000 plants were sold. 

 While the most of the plants are sold at 

 5 cents, still Mr. Bloy says he gets all 

 the plants are worth, as they are out of 

 small pots and those out of larger pots 

 are sold at the regular retail price. All 

 pots are removed and in nearly every 

 instance the people take the plants with 

 them. H. S. 



Dixon, HI. — N. H. Long has installed 

 a large, handsome new refrigerator in 

 his retail store on Galena avenue.
