The Detroit delegates to the conven- 

 tion are all well satisfied with the trip 

 to Buffalo and feel well repaid for going. 

 < Nothing has been printed in the trade 

 papers about the bicentennial celebration 

 of the founding of Detroit, on July 24 to 

 27, inclusive; but we did have a rousing 

 celebration nevertheless, ending with a 

 floral parade, in which some of our rep- 

 resentative florists took an active part, 

 Messrs. Breitmeyer, Sehroeter and the 

 Detroit Floral Company entering floats 

 which would compare favorably with 

 an}- of those in the California flower 

 festivals, 



Mr, K, Watson is rebuilding his en- 

 tire plant, having bought the cypress 

 material of Gibbons & Co. while in Buf- 

 falo. 



At the annual meeting of the club on 

 Wednesday, August 21, the following of- 

 ficers were elected for the coming year: 

 George A. Eackham, president; F, Holz- 

 nagle, vice-president; J, F, Sullivan, sec- 

 retary; B. Sehroeter, treasurer. 



It "was decided to have an outing for 

 members and families on Saturday, Au- 

 gust 31, to Bois Blanc Island, the boat 

 leaving Wood avenue at 9 a, m, city 

 time. There will be games, etc., and 

 the club invites all florists within reach 

 to join them. 



ilr. Craw, representing Lord & Burn- 

 ham Company, was a visitor at the club.

 go to Louisville, Ky.. next week tx) at-

 clave of Knights Templar. Reg,

Business during August has been com- 

 paratively light compared with that of 

 .July, Outdoor stock, especially asters, 

 is coming in freely now, but owing to 

 the great shortage of carnations the as- 

 ters move fairly well, especially the 

 whites. Gladioli are not as good in 

 quality as they should be and prices are 

 ruling low. Sweet peas had a very short 

 season and in fact were in the market 

 but a few weeks. Roses are coming in 

 better now and they move at good prices. 



During a visit to the various estab- 

 lishments about the city the writer found 

 all the growers stocking up their houses 

 for winter business. 



At the recent meeting of the Ameri- 

 can Ten Pin League C, C. PoUworth, 

 the wholesale florist, was elected presi- 

 dent. The membership of the League 

 includes eight local clubs, one of which 

 is The Bloomers, composed of florists. 

 The Bloomers will rehearse regularly 

 now so as to be in trim during the 

 Chicago chrysanthemum show, P, 



Waco, Tex. — Considering the long 

 drought in our state, we having had no 

 rain in two months, our plants look well, 

 and we are working like beavers to pre- 

 pare for our show in November, Mums 

 are looking fine, roses also, and as soon 

 as it rains will rush along to per- 

 fection.
