DETROIT. 



A Visit to Mt. Clemens, 



On Thursday, October 30, the Detroit 

 Florists' Club to the number of forty- 

 three, having been invited by John Breit- 

 meyer's Sons, E. Klagge, James Taylor 

 and the other Mt. Clemens florists, paid 

 a visit to the Bath City, the home of 

 the violet. Leaving Detroit by special 

 car at 10 a. m., they arrived at ISreit- 

 meyer's at 11, where a substantial lunch, 

 spread in the large sorting room, was in 

 readiness, to which the party did ample 

 justice, then separating into groups they 

 began a long walk through the various 

 houses to inspect the stock. The writer, 

 being more in touch with carnations and 

 chrysanthemums, spent his time in look- 

 ing them over, and must say that with 

 few exceptions they are in fine condition 

 and give promise of a rich harvest soon. 

 Mr. Fred Breitmeyer will make several 

 entries of mums at the coming show in 

 Chicago. 



At the sound of the bell the party reas- 

 sembled in the lunch room and went 

 from there over to the house of the 

 Violet King, Robert Klagge, who has 

 made extensive improvements the past 

 season by building another house, a large 

 brick boiler room and coal shed and in- 

 stalling a new boiler. Here, as usual, 

 was seen the modest violet, grown as 

 only "Bol)" can grow it in this section, 

 while his carnations are a sight, es- 

 pecially a bench of Prosperity, which was 

 full of flowers on stems twenty inches 

 long, stifT and erect. Here, again, was 

 the inner man looked after. 



Moving across the street we came to 

 the place of Gutschow & Son, enlarged 

 by two houses since the last visit of the 

 writer, which are planted with carna- 

 tions and violets, and they are looking 

 flne. Here meat and drink were provid- 

 ed for the third time since 11 a. m. and 

 it was not yet 2:30 p. m! 



Next was a long walk to the establish- 

 ment of James Taylor, which is located 

 near the cemetery. Sir. Taylor is an 

 Englishman who can grow good carna- 

 tions and mums and very fair violets, 

 who does not drop his h's, and whose 

 wife can make as fine coffee and dough- 

 nuts as any florist could wish. I can- 

 not help digressing a little here to say 

 that Mr. Taylor showed good judgment 

 in serving the coffee instead of other 

 lubricators, for by this time somethini; 

 normal and common was needed to "kind 

 of settle things"' and level them up. 



Another stiff tramp to J. Carey's place 

 was well repaid by the sight of the 

 elegant roses, which at the present time 

 fill the larger part of his plant, the other 

 houses being filled with mums and car- 

 nations, all of which are looking well. 

 After the usual feed and oil up (and 

 where on eaith do florists put away all 

 they eat and drink? And the thin ones 

 seem to have more capacity than the 

 fat ones) Mr. E. A. Scribner was chosen 

 temporary chairman and called on sev- 

 eral members for talks and songs, and 

 a most enjoyable hour was spent. Mr. 

 Trillow, of Chicago, and Mr. Zerkmann, 

 representing Sigmund G«ller, of New 

 York, were present and contributed to 

 the entertainment. A vote of thanks was 

 tendered the Mt. Clemens florists for the 

 very enjoyable day. 



Club Notes. 

 Prof. L. R. Taft, of the Michigan Ag- 



ricultural College, gave the club a very 

 interesting talk and had a very appre- 

 ciative audience. At the next meeting 

 we will have a musical program. 



Some ten or twelve members will visit 

 Chicago to attend the chrysanthemum 

 show. 



Bowling goes on every Monday evening 

 and some good scores are being made. 



J. K. Stock is slowly recovering from 

 a long siege of typhoid fever. 



The Michigan Cut Flower Exchange 

 celebrated its first anniversary on No- 

 vember 1 by giving a spread, which was 

 enjoyed by some thirty of the craft.

GRAND RAPIDS, MICH. 



We have been having bright days and 

 cool nights mostly, with a few rainy 

 days. Carnations are flowering freely 

 and are of fair quality, but in spite of 

 the quantity cut, the demand more than 

 keeps pace with the supply and nothing 

 is going to waste. Mums are in their 

 glory and moving fast. The main varie- 

 ties now in are: \Vhite Robinson, yel- 

 low Robinson, Major Bonnaffon, V. Morel, 

 J. K. Shaw, pink Ivory and white Ivory. 

 Shaw for an early pink is fine, being a 

 great improvement over Mrs. Perrin. 



Roses are in crop, but none are going 

 to waste. Business continues good, and 

 from indications will be even better than 

 last year. 



The Grand Rapids Floral Co. has all 

 its carnations housed, but still has one 

 more house to rebuild, which is expected 

 to be finished this fall and used for 

 bedding stock, etc. 



Tliere is a new florist in town and Eli 

 Cross is the happy father. 



Henry Smith is hurrying his new 

 houses along as fast as possible, one of 

 which will be used for green stuff ex- 

 clusively and will be of large size. 



At the recent West Michigan Fair, the 

 only exhibitors were Henry Smith and 

 Crabb & Hunter. In the design entries, 

 some good work was put up. Premiums 

 were awarded as follows: Best design, 

 Henry Smith first, Crabb & Hunter, sec- 

 ond. Basket of flowers, Crabb & Hunter 

 first. Smith second. Table arrangement, 

 same award. Cut roses and carnations. 

 Smith first, Crabb & Hunter second. The 

 show was a financial success, and was 

 held this time independent of the State 

 Fair. 



Crabb & Hunter have acquired the 

 Robertson farm of eighty-four acres ad- 

 joining the Masonic Home grounds, and 

 intend to build a modern range of glass 

 in the spring and to go extensively into 

 fruit growing. The farm is leased for 

 seven years, subject to terms of sale. 



Harm Bruins-Slot and Helen Eich- 

 mann are married, and the craft wish 

 them a happy career. Harm still con- 

 tinues with the firm of Bruins-Slot & 

 Sons. Geo. F. C.

 mum show will be held Nov. 11 to 14,

WATEttLOO, N. Y. — Edney Smith, the

 house is to be erected in Liberty Park.
