The Florists^ Review 



July 4, 1912. 



DETROIT. 



The Market. 



The week we have just passed 

 through has been a busy one for all 

 concerned. We now have Mothers' 

 day, McKinley day, Memorial day, and 

 last Wednesday, June 26, was without 

 doubt Cupid 's day, in this city at least. 

 There were weddings on every sidej 

 commencing with the 6:30 a, m. cere- 

 mony and continuing all day. Every 

 retailer had from two to a dozen or 

 more bouquets to make up. This nat- 

 urally created a heavy demand for 

 valley, pink and white peas, and roses, 

 and practically cleaned up the supply. 



Bedding plants are now practically 

 all sold and the greenhouse men are 

 planning their building, repairing, etc. 



Varioiis Notes. 



Murray Paterson has purchased a 50- 

 foot frontage on Woodward avenue, 

 about a mile north of the boulevard, 

 where he contemplates erecting a mod- 

 ern store and conservatory within the 

 next few years. 



Eva Campbell, of Schroeter's, is 

 spending several weeks of well earned 

 rest at the home of her parents in Bad 

 Axe, Mich. 



Sullivan's supplied the flowers for 

 the immediate family of the late E. A. 

 Skae and so large was the order that 

 it necessitated their working all Thurs- 

 day night. One order, a blanket cov- 

 ering the whole casket, called for the 

 use of 4,200 valley. 



Robert Rahaley and several friends 

 spent June 30 touring in Canada. Mr. 

 Bahaley is becoming quite a motor 

 enthusiast and when he solves the prob- 

 lem of making gluts profitable he will 

 no doubt invest the proceeds in a gaso- 

 line buggy. 



Mrs. Raleigh Welh is again at Har- 

 per hospital, having undergone another 

 serious operation June 26. 



The Michigan Cut Flower Exchange 

 last week received several carloads of 

 new Wisconsin sphagnum moss. 



The Pontiac Floral Co. had a large 

 amount of funeral work last week for 

 the Skae funeral. All tfcis work was 

 later shipped to Detroit 



C. L. Washburn, of Bassett & Wash- 

 burn, Chicago, and his bride spent sev- 

 £al days in Detroit while en route to 

 e east^ Sunday aftemodlk |U»d -eve- 

 ning they were the guests of Mr. and 

 Mrs. Fetters, who showed them the 

 city in their touring car. Monday they 

 embarked on the noon boat for Buffalo. 



Ed. Beard, of Beard Bros., is now 

 driving around in a fine new Reo tour- 

 ing car. H. S.
