AN ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION. 



There was a sound of revelry last 

 Thursday evening on Province street, 

 Boston. It was the annual celebration 

 of their opening by H. M. Robinson & 

 Co., and their friends had gathered in 

 goodly numbers to wish them another 

 prosperous year and accept their hos- 

 pitality, which was inexhaustible. 

 Complimentary speeches were made by 

 President Stickel of the Flower Mar- 

 ket and J. W. Duncan, and happy re- 

 sponses were voiced by the members 

 of the firm. About fifty congratulatory 

 telegrams and telephone messages were 

 received during the evening. It was 

 midnight when the last of the guests 



departed. 



SOMETHING NEW. 



The E. F. "Winterson Co. have with 

 their usual enterprise secured a quan- 

 tity of a new green known as Mexi- 

 can Ivy, to be shown at the National 

 Flower Show. It is very handsome 

 when made up and its keeping quali- 

 ties are excellent. Mr. Winterson 

 states that it will keep a month with- 

 out water.

PHILIP BREITMEYER 

 MAYOR-ELECT OF DETROIT. 



A telegram has been received an- 

 nouncing the election of Philip Breit- 

 meyer as Mayor of Detroit by a sub- 

 stantial majority. We heartily con- 

 gratulate Mr. Breitmeyer on his pre- 

 ferment, Detroit on her good judg- 

 ment and the florist trade of the coun- 

 try on the honor in which it has a 

 share. We have known Phil. Breit- 

 meyer intimately from the time he 



was a little chap running about his 

 father's flower store. We have 

 watched the success and honors 

 which have been his uninterruptedly 

 and know that he is worthy of it all. 

 His genial, lovable disposition and 

 sterling worth give him a place in 

 the hearts of his fellows the like of 

 which but few men ever attain. He 

 will make a good Mayor for Michi- 

 gan's metropolis.
