News Items. 



Scarcity of news is a distinct feature 

 at present. Coal is, of course, the chief 

 subject of conversation, and upon this 

 question the florists' opinions are niucli 

 like those upon bloomers — they are di- 

 vided. Some favor the operator and 

 some the operatee. Personally, I notice 

 that if a railroad wants to put a track 

 where your hou.se stands, they put it 

 there and arbitrate afterward. Poor 

 rule tliat will not work both ways. 



ilr. Benwell, salesman for Hews' 

 flower pots, lost an arm some few weeks 

 since by atx'identally getting it caught in 

 some of the manufactory machinery. 



Daily papers make quite an issue of 

 the discovery of an old document by Mr. 

 Waters while lifting up rooms for the 

 Milk Street Floral Cto. It was the en- 

 listment roll of the Old New England 

 Guard, who.se existence was known to 

 military men, but not its location. It 

 is of value to them and is of the date 

 of 1814. It seems the New England 

 Guard was a crack company in its day.

DETROIT. 



On Saturday evening last Messrs. George 

 Keynolds and Harry Smith, of Grosse 

 Point, entertained ten of the florists of 

 the city at a stag dinner with a most 

 elaborate menu. A most enjoyable time 

 was had, and all participating voted the 

 entertainers royal good fellows. 



Cut flowers have been scarce for some 

 time, but the sun has come out again 

 and we may soon look for a larger supply. 

 Rackham is cutting some fine blooms of 

 Kalb and Willowbrook mums. 



At the ne.xt meeting of the club the 

 members will listen to a lecture by Atr. 

 Alexander, the park botanist, on "Bo- 

 tanical Classilication of Plants." The 

 new president seems to be taking hold 

 with a determination to make a record. 

 There are several outings in view for 

 the members, one to Mt. Clemens to 

 visit the boys, one to Wyandotte, as the 

 guests of Mr. Henry Smith, and the an- 

 niversary of the opening of the Michi- 

 gan Cut Flower E.xchange. All these 

 together with the regular club work will 

 keep the boys from getting the blues 

 over the coal question, as the most of 

 them are supplied' in a measure. 



Had a very pleasant visit with W. C. 

 Cook, of Kalamazoo, on Sunday last. 



It looks at present as if there would 

 be quite a delegation from here to the 

 Chicago show in November. Rag. 



THE RETAIL FLORIST, 



Next week we shall publish the first of 

 a series of engravings from photographs 

 of designs arranged especially for illus- 

 trating this department. The series vpill 

 includie hundreds of engravings), jind) 

 they will cover every phase of the work 

 of the retail florist. We believe the 

 series will prove vitally interesting and 

 exceedingly helpful to all in a very prac- 

 tical way.
