The Florists' Review 



Makcu 0, 1913. 



DETROIT. 



The Market. 



Business was brisk last week. Stock 

 was cleaned up well, with the exception, 

 perhaps, of lilies, valley and some of 

 the bulbous stock. The market is well 

 supplied with pans of tulips, daffodils 

 and hyacinths, and they move readily. 

 There appears to be a scarcity of large 

 azalea plants; those growers who have 

 some are apparently holding them over 

 for Eastec :«t\,C'«*t: 



Various Notes. 



\Vm. A. McAlpine, of Exeter, N. H., 

 owner of the New England Rose Con- 

 servatories, spent a few days here last 

 week. He appears to like this part of 

 the country well. 



Mr. Scharff, of Scharff Bros., Van 

 Wert, O., was a recent visitor at Thomas 

 Browne's establishment. He came here 

 to see the new carnation, Philadelphia, 

 growing, and was favorably impressed. 



Mrs. Sylvester, mother of Albert Syl- 

 vester, died recently, and was buried 

 February 28. 



Schroeter's Studebaker 20 was con- 

 siderably damaged in a collision with 

 another auto last week. Fortunately, 

 the driver, the sole occupant of Schroe- 

 ter's car, was not injured. 



The committee, with Philip Breit- 

 meyer as chairman, that has taken up 

 the fight on behalf of all the users of 

 steam for heating greenhouses in Michi- 

 gan, against the two bills recently pre- 

 sented at Lansing, is sadly in need of 

 funds to pay attorneys' fees and other 

 incidental expenses, and will greatly ap- 

 preciate a check for $5 from any inter- 

 ested grower who has not already con- 

 tributed. Make the check payable to 

 Hugo Schroeter, 56 Broadway, Detroit, 

 who has this matter in charge. 



Ed. Hampton, representing J. G. 

 Neidinger, was in town last week. 



Mr. Maynard, manager of the Detroit 

 €ut Flower Supply House, is well pleaSed 

 with trade. 



S. S. Skidelsky was in the city and 

 met with Fred Breitmeyer and Robert 

 Rahaley at the office of the Michigan 

 Cut Flower Exchange to formulate more 

 extensive plans for the handling of the 

 sales of Carnation Philadelphia, over 

 60,000 cuttings of which have already 

 been ordered. After viewing the plants 

 at Thomas Browne's houses, Mr. Skidel- 

 sky is so highly elated over the carna- 

 tion, and has so much confidence in it, 

 that all orders are booked with the 

 privilege of canceling them' should the 

 buyer be disappointed after having seen 

 the plants growing. H. S. 



A GREENHOUSE without The Review 

 would be like a ship without a rudder.
