The Weekly Florists' Review. 



JUNE 8, 1899. 



DETROIT. 



Everything is progressing finely for 

 the convention of the S. A. F. now the 

 executive committee has granted the 

 local club permission to use the larger 

 hall of the Harmonie Society for the 

 trade exhibit, which was made neces- 

 sary by the great number of applica- 

 tions for space coming in, and it was 

 made apparent that the trade exhibit 

 of the meeting of 1S99 was to be the 

 banner one in the history of the soci- 

 ety. Supt. Rackham mailed over 200 

 circulars on May 26th and received 23 

 applications for space before June 3d, 

 besides inquiries before sending out 

 circulars. And it is not to be won- 

 dered at, for "The Convention City" 

 is central and easy of access from all 

 directions and with its beautiful parks 

 and the opportunities for enjoyment 

 on Lake St. Clair and Detroit river we 

 are sure that every florist who can se- 

 cure the wherewithal to come will be 

 here with his wife and daughter. 

 Speaking of the convention, it is the 

 desire of the local club that all details 

 of the bowling and shooting contest 

 be arranged as soon as possible, so 

 that they may make all arrangements 

 here, and to that end would suggest 

 that John Wescott take the matter in 

 charge and correspond with the dif- 

 ferent captains of the teams and also 

 with our chairman of bowling, Mr. F. 

 Holznagle, Highland Park, Mich., and 

 with Frank Heard, Fort street, W., 

 Detroit, in regard to the shoot. The 

 ■committee on entertainment think 

 they have a surprise in store for the 

 visitors, but every one must be a mem- 

 ber of the S. A. F. in order to take 

 part in the enjoyment of the surprise.
