which .1. Breitmeyer's Sons will place on 

 the market the coming season. All the 

 fall exhibitions will see it in all its glory. 

 As you know, this great acquisition origi- 

 nated at Grand Rapiils live years ago, its 

 parentage being Bridesmaid and Test- 

 out. From a stock of 1,900 plants in 

 1902 the firm has now in grand growth 

 over 16,000 from which to cut and propa- 

 gate. This shows the faith the P.reit- 

 meyers have in the variety. In fact, or- 

 ders have already been booked for nearly 

 100,000 plants, and the first year's sales 

 are expected to total half a million. The 

 rose is a wonderful propagator, strong, 

 an easy grower, tree from mildew, makes 

 no blind wood, has the tea habit, every 

 blind shoot the same as Beauty, everitu 

 ally bringing a bud. The rose has not 

 yet been christened, and $100 in gold 

 will be offered as a prize to the one who 

 furnishes the most appropriate name, a 

 committee of Detroit ladies passing upon 

 same. 



Mr. Dorner, of La Fayette, Mr. Folev, 

 of Chicago, and Mr. Raekham were 

 guests with me of the genial Fred, at 

 Mt. Clemens, on Tuesday. Five miles out 

 from the city J. F. Sullivan's ranch 

 looks (bright and prosperous with its 

 wealth of Golden Glow and asters, and 

 its greenhouses in apple-pie condition. 

 Mr. Sullivan is installing a new water 

 system, which will end anxiety as to the 

 moisture supply in the future. His store 

 has been modernized since I saw it a year 

 ago, and is now "one of the finest." 

 The business seems to be always boom- 

 ing there and .Mrs. Sullivan grows young- 

 er as the ducats increase. Norman is a 

 chip off the old block, and has completely 

 outstripped his paternal parent as a 

 bowler. 



B. Schroeter seems to be making sub- 

 stantial progress, and Mr. Breitmeyer's 

 corner looks just as superb and the wel- 

 come of the force is just as warm as it 

 has been for many a year. There has 

 been no change in the lieutenants, ladies 

 and gentlemen, for an age. I don 't see 

 how Phil manages to keep the gentler sex 

 department intact so long. But the presi- 

 dent is a good man to tie to! His elec-

GEORGE CARTWRIGHT, Treas. 



Hon was a popular one, and the trade in 

 Detroit all appreciate the confidence 

 shown by the S. A. F. in conferring on 

 their brother citizen the highest honor 

 in its power. 



The Detroiters, under the leadership of 

 President Raekham, are preparing for 

 the great carnation convention next 

 March. Prizes are to be numberless. 

 Brother Foley contributed $75 for the 

 purpose, while sampling that ten-year- 

 old domestic wine at Fred's last Tuesdav.

ROCHESTER. 



The lloner business seems to be hold- 

 ing its own in Rochester. A brief call 

 at Salter Bros., Keller's and Wilson's 

 found all overwhelmed with funeral 

 work, many of the designs being packed 

 for shipment to adjacent towns. 



The asters grown here are as fine as 

 any in the country, and very abundant. 



George F. Boucher has opened a neat 

 store in connection with James Tick 's 

 Sons, on Main street, and should do well. 



The auction of the E. R. Fry Co.'s 

 effects was concluded on Thursday. 



Vredenbnrg & Co. have completed their 

 five-story brick building, 75x115, on 

 South avenue, overlooking the Genesee, 

 and now have one of the best litho- 

 graphic and printing establishments in 

 the country, devoted entirely to the in- 

 terests of the horticultural trade.
