DETBOIT. 



The Market. 



Usually there is a lull in business be- 

 fore the Christmas rush commences, but 

 this year seems to ,have been an ex- 

 ception. The demand for cut flowers 

 has been heavy and there has been a 

 general shortage of stock of all de- 

 scriptions, white roses being the only 

 exception. Carnations have been re- 

 , markably scarce all this fall and this 

 probably is a reason for the heavy 

 demand for other stock. 



From present indications the supply 

 of flowers for Christmas trade will 

 be far short of the demand and plants 

 will have become still more popular. 

 The market is well supplied with 

 plants and the retailer converts cut 

 flower buyers into plant buyers, feeling 

 that by this course he will make friends 

 as well as add to his sales. One of the 

 plants with which the market was well 

 stocked was the ardisia. The lasting 

 qualities of this plant will make it 

 more popular from year to year. Poin- 

 settia plants were plentiful, but in 

 many instances devoid of foliage. 

 Azaleas were good, but not any too 

 plentiful. Cyclamens are becoming 

 more and more popular. Begonias sell, 

 but there is always a kick coming. 

 Boston ferns, although nothing new, 

 started to sell early and were sold by 

 the hundreds. 



Red ruscus, boxwood, dogwood ber- 

 ries, prepared ferns, statice and artifi- 

 cial poinsettias were disposed of in 

 quantities far ahead of former years, 

 due no doubt to the skill displayed 

 in the arrangement. Holly was a dis- 

 appointment. The supply was enough, 

 but the quality so poor that the sale 

 suffered. Better mistletoe has also been 



seen. 



Various Notes. 



Breitmeyer's advertised Ardisia cren- 

 ulata as the Christmas plant and sold 

 large numbers. One of the large win- 

 dows was banked almost entirely with 

 this plant. 



Walter Taepke had his whole store 

 appropriately decorated, and business 

 opened up well.

wide and, with the exception of a nar- 

 row walk down the center, it was one 

 solid mass of plants before the rush 

 began. 



B. Schroeter had his usual fine stock 

 of plants and did a splendid business. 

 Both the large windows were attract- 

 ively decorated. 



J. F. Sullivan made a specialty of 

 baskets of prepared ferns and sold 

 immense quantities. 



The retailers above the park, Patter- 

 son, Brown, and Norman Sullivan, have 

 attractive window displays and -were
