DETROIT. 



Qub Meeting. 



The last meeting of the club was a 

 lively one, as the committee on enter- 

 tainment had prepared a program of 

 luu and musio which was most thor- 

 oughly enjoyed by all, including the la- 

 dies, ivfter which a monument dedicated 

 to the living was unveiled and disclosed 

 a fine layout of punch and sandwiches, 

 the whole proving a great surprise to 

 all. 



All those who visited the show at Chi- 

 cago were loud in their praises of the 

 fine show and also the exceeding hospi 

 tality of the florists of that city. One 

 of the kids who went with us "read a 

 •dream whicli he avers was caused by the 

 multiplicity of names which he read on 

 the various exhibits, and we christened 

 it "Bcmb's dream." 



The Dream. 



It was Sunset and we took the Liberty 

 of entering the Golden Gate, and there 

 we saw a great many American Beauties. 

 At Sunrise we watched the Daybreak 

 kiss tlie Morning Glory. During the 

 night we were fortunate eno\igh to see 

 several Meteors with tbeir Golden Glow. 

 It was Child's play to look at the Bride 

 and Bridesmaids, tlie friends of the 

 Kaiserin. wlio. surrounded by the Royal 

 Farleyense in I'ink. ^ellinv' and Wliite 

 Ivory vases, formed a lit setting for any 

 Perle. Nelson Fisbei. wlio tried to at- 

 tend at Sunset a (Johleu Wedding of Mrs. 

 Potter Palmer and Mar(|uis. the cousin 

 of Queen Louise, brouijlit with liim 

 Crane, Avondale, Bradt "and Cressbrook 

 as usliers, but received tbe cold slioulder 

 from Great Scott and liis daughter Ks- 

 telle. The next day there was a 4 oVlock 

 tea at Mrs. Morgan's, allcudi'd bv voung 

 Fitzwygram. Bergmann and the old Mn^ 

 jor BonnafTon. with his niece. Aland 

 Dean, and as >isual the Major was a lit 

 tie rusty. 



The beautiful SuMsliinc in its .\uIutiiii 

 Glory was just tlie thing for Adonis 

 and Lillian Pond, who live near the Gold- 

 mine, to give a card party, at wliich 

 young Applcton was determined to l)eat 

 Chadwiek and Eaton for the Golden 

 Trophy. The little lady near the bunch 

 of Wliite Clouds was Knchantress. wait 

 ing to see if she would lie cut out bv 

 Apollo's Fiancee. Her two friends. Flora 

 Hill and Ixirna, went to Norway, where 

 their father's prosperity jiroved their 

 ■Guardian Angel. While crossing the 

 ocean they fell in with a few Mermaids 

 and all these young buds were put in 

 cold storage and fell fast asleep. 



Notes. 



The 



lie several retailers gave shows or 

 openings last week, the most gorgeous 

 of which was that of J. F. Sullivan, 

 who has made very extensive improve 

 mer.ts in his store, which will now with 

 neatness and care vie with any estab- 

 lishment east of New 'Vork. ' R.a.o. 



Neosho, Mo.— ,I. G. Angel has adde.l 

 3.000 feet of new glass and has planted 

 it to ro.ses and carnations. Last season. 

 from NovemlK'r to .June, 'he cut over 

 4.000 blooms from 100 plants of Scott 

 ■carnation, which he thinks was prettv 

 good. He hardly looks for such results 

 this year as his plants are not so good. 

 He says he might as well try to lun his 

 greenhouses without plants as without
