DETROIT'S GOOD EXAMPLE. 



A movement which will do much to 

 bring the florist and nurseryman's ser- 

 vices into more prominence ha-S been 

 started by the City Service League of 

 Detroit, Mich. This is a new branch of 

 the local Board of Commerce. Its 

 principal aim is to interest the house- 

 holder in the improving of his or her 

 little yard. On the afternoon of April 

 IT a public meeting was called in the 

 Detroit Opera House and the place was 

 crowded with men and women. Sever- 

 al very prominent men spoke on the 

 need of general improving and in par- 

 ticular of improving front and back 

 yards. To further stimulate the work 

 I)rizes of |7.5. $50 and $25 respectively 

 were offered for well arranged yards, 

 as also a special prize of $50 for the 

 best appearing district.
