DETBOIT, MICH. 



The Market. 



Since the commencement exercises are 

 at an end and all the schools closed, 

 business will, no doubt, be quiet for a 

 time, although last week it was brisk. 

 Stock of every description is plentiful 

 and some kinds too abundant. Carna- 

 tions are small and sweet peas not of as 

 good quality as is desired. There are 

 still a fewljtrgi wedding orders booki94 

 for June and these will keep some of 

 the retailers busy.

W. B. Brown is contemplating the 

 purchase of a piece of property in the 

 vicinity of his present location, upon 

 which to erect a store and conservatory. 

 The lease on his present place expires 

 April, 1^4. 



J. F. Sullivan had a special sale of 

 valley at 25 cents per dozen June 18, 

 While many were disposed of by this 

 sale, it is doubtful if it proved at la^l 

 profitable to Mr. Sullivan. Still the 

 grower of the valley realized something 

 at least, through Mr. Sullivan's efforts. 



Albert Pochelon, of the Bemb Floral 

 Co., is the proud owner of a handsome 

 new seven-passenger touring car. Mr. 

 Pochelon can use a seven-passenger car 

 quite readily, as there are just five little 

 ones in the lamily.

TANKAGE 



PRACTICALLY every grower now finds that one of his chief problems is an 

 adequate supply of first-class Fertilizer— the available quantity of barn- 

 yard manures is inadequate and street and stable manures are poor, impure 

 and of uncertain value, though expensive. Large growers are meeting the 

 need of a safe, sure, well-balanced fertilizer of unlimited supply by using
