AN ATTRACTIVE SHOW HOUSE. 



We present in this issue a view of 

 the store and show house of Mr. Gus. 

 Knoch. of Woodmere, Mich., a suburb 

 of Detroit. Mr. Knoch does a general 

 business, making- rather a specialty of 

 palms and ferns. Being located near 

 a large cemetery, he naturally gets a 

 good many orders for planting beds 

 and filling vases in same, as well as 

 floral designs. 



But what seems to us of special in- 

 terest is the style of construction of 

 the show house. It is certainly a very 

 pretty architectural effect, and indi- 

 cates that Mr. Knoch understands the 



Showhouse of Mr. Gus. Knoch, Woodmere, Detroit, Mich. 



Best and most artistically arranged display 

 of cut roses. 1st. Ellison & Tesson; 2nd, C. 

 Young & Sons Co. 



Best table decoration, plants were used in 

 connection with cut flowers, 1st, C. Young & 

 Sons Co. ; 2nd. EU'ison & Tesson. 



Largest, best and most artistically arranged 

 collection of cut flowers, any kind except 

 roses, all to be properly labeled, 1st, C. Young 

 & Sons Co. : 2nd, Wm. Schray. 



Best pair of parlor bouquets. 1st. C. Young 

 & Sons Co. ; 2nd, Ellison & Tesson. 



Best collection cut carnations, 1st, Ellison 

 •& Tesson. 



Best ladies' bouquet, 1st, C. Young & Sons 

 Co.; 2nd. Ellison •S; Tesson. 



Col. Max Herzog, of Gratiot Station, 

 was judge on all the above awards. 



The rule of the Fair association that 

 all cut flowers and designs must be on 

 ■exhibition (positively) by 10 a. m. 

 Thursday to be judged was not lived up 

 to by some of the florists. Those that 

 had their displays ready by 10 a. m. 

 were very much disgusted, as other 

 exhibits were not ready by 4 p. m.. and 

 the stuff staged early was very much 

 withered when the judge made his 

 rounds. 



The executive committee of our 

 coming Chrysanthemum Show say this 



is still with us. He and his brother 

 Pat were out at the fair on big Thurs- 

 day. 



The October meeting of the club will 

 be held Friday night, October 14. All 

 members are requested to be present, 

 as business of great importance will 

 be transacted. 



The big lithograph posters announc- 

 ing our Chrysanthemum Show are out 

 and in the windows of all the florists 

 by this time. From all appearances 

 St. Louis will score a big success this 

 year. 



Bowling. 



The Bowling Club rolled four games 

 on Monday night, eight members roll- 

 ing, and some very good scores were 

 made. It was decided to roll a match 

 with a team composed of all outside 

 of the trade. The team is known as 

 Capt. Schaff's team; match to take 

 place Thursday night of this week. 

 Scores of Monday night were as fol- 

 lows: 



importance of presenting an attrac- 

 tive exterior as well as keeping the 

 kind of stock to tempt buyers after 

 they have been attracted. 



BUFFALO. 



There is little new in our frontier 

 town that will interest the readers of 

 The Review. Flowers are improving 

 in quality and demand Is making 

 feeble efforts to keep the pace. If she 

 does not we throw a bouquet back at 

 her encouragingly to help a halting 

 step, knowing that in a few weeks with 

 cooler weather her second wind will 

 be recovered and then we will have to 

 travel at a rapid gait to keep abreast. 



Visitors. 



The only notable in town this week 

 was the honorable E. H. D. F. O. B. 

 Balsley, representing the Detroit 

 Flower Pot Mfy. Doors and entrances 

 and exits of all kinds will need a re- 

 modeling enlargement It Harry con-
