DETSOIT, MICH. 



The Market. 



The cut flower market was well sup- 

 plied last week with all flowers except- 

 ing roses and valley. These two items, 

 owing to the cold weather, did not 

 come along as fast as expected and 

 for a few days this stock was hard to 

 pick up; however, conditions changed 

 toward the latter part of the week and 

 little trouble was experienced getting 

 what was needed for orders. Peonies 

 are in heavy supply and just at the 

 turning point. The crop will be all 

 cleaned up this week and, from reports, 

 the season has been quite satisfactory. 

 Several of the large growers have large 

 amounts in storage and there will be 

 all kinds of peonies to be had for some 

 time to come. 



Carnations have been the one big 

 problem with the wholesalers and, from 

 the looks of the tables, they have not 

 solved the question of how to move 

 them out in time of oversupply. The 

 retailers who run special sales tried 

 their best to start something, but found 

 there was nothing doing. Easter lilies 

 have also been a tough proposition al- 

 most continually since Easter. It is 

 reported that some of the larger grow- 

 ers have cut their orders for next sea- 

 son on these and, from the looks of 

 the market, they are using good judg- 

 ment, as at the prices asked there can 

 be little money in growing them. 



Sweet peas have been in good supply, 

 with the spring bloomers having the 

 call. The winter flowering varieties do 

 not sell at this season, when there are 

 80 many of the better kinds to be had. 

 American Beauties have been short in 

 supply and have been cleaned up as 

 fast as they came in. Other roses are 

 about normal for this time of the year; 

 the supply is fair, quality up to grade 

 and prices are satisfactory. Plumosus 

 and Sprengeri are on the short side and 

 there seems to be an increasing demand 

 for greens right along. 



Larkspur, gypsophila and other out- 

 door flowers have made their appearance 

 and the market is fast assuming its 

 summer air. We have enjoyed a good 

 month all around, as the retailers have 

 had a nice lot of work and the feeling 

 of satisfaction is noted on all sides. 

 This week will end up the business and 

 the boys in the various stores are al- 

 ready figuring out their vacation trips. 

 New ferns have made their appearance 

 in the market and are being shipped 

 in large quantities. H. S. 



Penllyn, Pa. — Campbell Bros, are 

 erecting four greenhouses, each 17x150.
