The Weekly Florists' Review* 



JUNE 22, 1899. 



DETROIT. 



One of the main points to be re- 

 membered in locating one's self in the 

 convention city is that all the main 

 avenues start from or pass the city 

 hall, and that all lines of street rail- 

 ways run their cars past the city hall, 

 thus making it the starting point for 

 each trip one wishes to take. 



If you wish to find your position 

 you have only to look up or down any 

 of the main avenues and you will see 

 the Majestic building showing up its 

 fourteen stories, and right alongside 

 of it the city hall. Now, suppose you 

 wish to visit the university town of 

 Ann Arbor or the State Normal school 

 at Ypsilanti, where the beautiful 

 buildings, designed by the M. C. R. R., 

 spoken of by Mr. Hammond last year 

 at Omaha, are located. You can take 

 the cars (which are large and roomy) 

 of the suburban line, and the ride is 

 a beautiful one, full of interest from 

 start to return. There are no large or 

 small greenhouses on this route, for 

 the soil seems more adapted to the ed- 

 ucation of the young man than the 

 growing of plants, for at Ann Arbor 

 is located the University of Michigan, 

 with a yearly attendance of over 2,500 

 students from all points of the U. S., 

 and is well worth a visit by anyone 

 interested in such matters. 



In the matter of the trade exhibit 

 it is a very noticeable fact than east- 

 ern men are quicker to secure space 

 than those of the west. Why is this 

 so? Surely Chicago has as large grow- 

 ers and business houses as those in 

 the east, and should not let the east- 

 ern men secure all the blessings of a 

 trade exhibit so near home. They 

 will do well to secure space soon or 

 I shall have to send them to an over- 

 flow meeting in the corridor. RAG. 



PRIZE FOR THE GUN CLUBS. 



The Lockland Lumber Co. has se- 

 lected the trophy to be shot for by the 

 S. A. F. Gun Clubs at Detroit. It is 

 a solid silver pitcher with ebony base. 

 It stands about 13 inches high and is 

 eight inches wide over all. It will be 

 a prize well worth winning and the 

 Lockland Lumber Co. is certainly en- 

 titled to much credit for its generos- 

 ity. 



RACINE, WIS— Mrs. C. W. Pike has 

 removed to her new building at No. 

 506 Wisconsin street. The structure 

 has been remodeled from top to bot- 

 tom and in the basement has been ar- 

 ranged a pretty and attractive flower 

 store. The room is conveniently de- 

 signed and finished in clear white, giv- 

 ing the surrounding a beautiful ef- 

 fect. Critics who have visited the lit- 

 tle store are loud in their praises of 

 the exquisite taste in the arrange- 

 ments. 



HILLSDALE, MICH.— S. J. Shank 

 will build several greenhouses on 

 Bacon St. soon. The main house will 

 be 30x180.
