at $3. The ligljit colored gladiolus has 

 helped out many a florist who was una- 

 ble to get good roses and carnations. 



A few goo<l asters are beginning to 

 arrive but many of the plants have been 

 burned out by the awful heat and the 

 cut will probably be much less than 

 usual. One giower who is bringing in 

 good asters was enabled to do so through 

 having provided an ample water supply 

 and making liberal use of it. 



Shipping demand holds up well for 

 tne season. Local demand is as slow as 

 ever but there is difficulty in finding 

 stock to fill what few orders are received. 



All the wholesale houses are now clos- 

 ing at 5 p. m. 



Various Items. 



At the meeting of the Florists' Club 

 last Friday evening the picnic and trans- 

 ]iortation committees reported progress 

 and other routine business was transact- 

 ed. This will be the last meeting until 

 the fall season. 



The Florists' Club's special train to 

 Uutfalo by the Wabash Railway will 

 leave Dearborn station at 4 p. m., Mon- 

 day, Aug. 3, and will reach Buflalo at 

 V :30 Tuesday morning. 



McKellar & Winterson are having their 

 entire establishment remodeled. New 

 walls and ceilings will be put in, an 

 immense new ice box built, and the 

 whole place newly painted and decorated. 

 The entrance will also be changed so 

 that the store may be entered from the 

 basement level the same as those south 

 • if them. One can then pass through all 

 I lie wholesale houses on the basement 

 Icvi'l. without climbing a stair, and this 

 rniite will be known as Cut Flower 

 Avenue. 



In years gone by when most of the 

 retail florists were on VVabash Ave., when 

 a "shopper" visited all the stores in 

 succession with the intent of gettinj; 

 prices down to rock bottom by playing 

 one florist's prices against the others, she 

 was said to be "doing the avenue." The 

 retailers will now have an opportunity 

 to "do the avenue" and the wholesalers 

 — if thev can.

A GOOD THING. 



The classified advs. are a good thing. 

 It is easy to find just what is wanted, 

 and I think it is only a matter of a lit- 

 tle time before people generally will 

 realize this.— S. M. Harbison, Danville, 

 Ky. 



Montreal, Can. — The Florists' Club's 

 outing to Isle Gros Boise was very large- 

 ly attended and was most enjoyable. 

 There were some exciting running races 

 by the men, women, young ladies, boys 

 and girls, a cricket match, tug of war, 

 etc.
