The Florists' Review 



Mav 1, 1913. 



DETROIT. 



The Market. 



Business was fair the first part of 

 last week, a large quantity of funeral 

 work cleaning up all stock. A steady 

 downpour of rain Saturday and Sunday 

 caused a falling oflf in trade and the 

 market was pretty well supplied with 

 stock at the opening of the present 

 week. 



Various Xotes. 



A special meeting of the Detroit 

 Florists' Club was held April 23 at tho 

 store of the Bemb Floral Co. Arrange- 

 ments were made for advertising 

 Mothers' day. 



John Klang will soon break ground 

 for a modern store on Forest avenue, 

 east. This will be the permanent home 

 of Mr. Klang 's business, which has 

 been growing steadily. 



William Wells, of Merstham, Eng- 

 land, paid our city a visit last week 

 and was entertained by Philip Breit- 

 meyer and Eobert M. EahaJey. Mr. 

 Wells came to look over Carnation 

 Philadelphia and was so well pleased 

 that he placed a large order for stock 

 to be shipped out of pots. 



M. Bloy is getting ready for his big 

 spring trade and special sales of bed- 

 ding plants, which have become popular 

 with the Detroit plant buyers. 



Thos. Browne has a fine stock of 

 vincas this year. 



G. H. Taepke is ready for spring bed- 

 ding trade, with a stock of 80,000 

 plants. 



May 1, Ealeigh Wells, who has been 

 connected with the Michigan Cut 

 Flower Exchange for some years, will 

 join partnership with Theodore Michel. 

 Mr. Wells has many stanch friends in 

 the trade and certainly has their best 

 wishes for much success. H. S. 



Indianapolis, Ind.— S. T. Hitz & Son 

 will add to their range this summer 

 two greenhouses, each 30x147 feet. 



Detroit, Mich. — Thieves with a pen- 

 chant for flowers have robbed the trade 

 of hundreds of dollars' worth of cut 

 stock in the last two weeks. G. H. 

 Taepke and J. F. Sullivan are among 

 the latest sufferers at the hands of in- 

 truders, who in every case have made 

 entrance by cutting panes of glass from 

 rear windows and opening the catches.
