The Weekly Florists' Review. 



DETROIT. 



Florists' Qub Outing. 



The outin-; of the Florists' Club took 

 phiee on Saturday, August 31, at Bois 

 IJlanc Island, and was quite well attend- 

 ed, although the day was not an ideal 

 one for an outing. The enthusiasm of 

 those present made up for the lack in 

 the attendance. 



The program was carried out in full 

 with the exception of the sack race. The 

 baseball match was won by Captain 

 Davis and team, 14 to 4. Agricultural 

 race, by Pautka, first; A. Rackham, sec- 

 ond; J. Stick, third. Fat men's race, 

 Beard, first; Hupprich, second. Egg and 

 spoon race, Knope, first; Sullivan, sec- 

 ond. Ladies' race. Miss Sullivan, first; 

 Miss Healy, second. Girls' race, L. 

 Knope, first; F. Engelraan, second. Men's 

 race, A. Rackham, first; William Flower- 

 day, second. Three-legged race, A. Rack- 

 ham and Knope. first; Flowerday and 

 Brown, second. Boys' race, H. Rackham, 

 first ; Stuart Rackham, second. Game of 

 quoits, James Taylor, first; E. A. Sorib- 

 ner, second. In the tug of war the West 

 Side won out. 



This was the first outing of the club 

 and was so successful that it will no 

 doubt become a permanent feature. 



President Rackham will from now on 

 push the coming flower show to be held 

 in November, and with the aid of the 

 club and special committees, is sure of 

 making it a grand success. A committee 

 will be appointed at the coming meeting 

 to prepare a program for the year and 

 as each member of the club always makes 

 an effort to take care of the subjects as- 

 signed him, a successful year is assured. 



One of the most interesting evenings 

 will no doubt be the one assigned to 

 Charles Plumb, who has just returned 

 from England, France and Holland. 

 Photos which were taken during his trip 

 will be used in lantern views to illus- 

 trate the story of his trip, which the 

 president has prevailed upon him to give 

 the club at no distant date. 



Carnations are about all housed and 

 boys are already talking of Asheville.

Business during the month of August 

 has been good; comparing it with Au- 

 gust last year it is away ahead, the de- 

 mand for roses being especially brisk. 



Carnation benching is nearly finished. 

 Notwithstanding the hot, dry summer 

 carnitions in the field did remarkably 

 well, the plants coming in in a nice, 

 stocky form, which made them a pleasure 

 to handle. Roses are looking well. 



The Dunkley Floral Company have re- 

 modeled their carnation houses, and are 

 just about finished benching. G. Van 

 Bochove cSi; Bro. are about finished with 

 their new carnition range, and have 

 most of their benching done. They are 

 cutting some very fine Beauties, Meteors 

 and Kaiserins. Brides and Maids are 

 looking well, and promise a good cut in 

 the near future. They have planted 

 sparingly of Liberty, as it did not come 

 up to their expectations last year. 



The Kalamxzoo Nursery & Floral Com- 

 pany has been absorbed by the Michigan 

 Central Nursery Company. Ihe new firm 

 will be managed by Mr. Charles A. 

 Maxon, general manager of the Michigan 

 Central Nursery Company. 



During the la"st month the weather his 

 been everything tliat a florist could de-
