HOUSTON, TEX. 



The convention week is over and Sun- 

 day has been a day of rest with all of 

 us at Houston. 



We had an ideal week and Houston 

 florists in general have had a good busi- 

 ness, so good that some of the conven- 

 tion visitors volunteered their services. 

 August 16 Kerr had a double wedding 

 and three out-of-town funerals, all of 

 which were pretty large. G. R. L. 



DETROIT. 



The Market. 



The latter part of last week stock 

 came in more plentifully, enough for 

 the demand, but the first part of the 

 week flowers were scarce, roses in par- 

 ticular. Rosea are fair in bud, but are 

 short in stem. Valley is not equal to

the demand; occasionally we have to use 

 swainsona. Gladioli and lilies are in 

 limited supply and asters are small in 

 flower, although there usually are 

 enough to go around. A few sweet 

 peas are seen, but most of them are 

 short in stem. 



From various reports, business has 

 been typical for this time of the year, 

 although there has been some hotel 

 trade, as the hotels are all filled and 

 turning people away. Detroit is almost 

 a resort in the summer, having many 

 conventions. 



Various Notes. 



Fred Nelson and Mr. Shastner, with 

 the George Wittbold Co., Chicago, 

 stopped over in Detroit while motoring 

 east. 



Philip Breitmeyer has returned from 

 an extended visit west. 



Joseph Streit, formerly of Buffalo, 

 now of this city, has his houses ship- 

 shape, having an especially nice stock 

 of pot mums coming along. 



Adam Bessemer, of the E. A. Fetters 

 branch store, has returned from his

Silas Kichison, of the Riverside Floral 

 Co., has taken over the greenhouses 

 north of town formerly operated by 

 Henry Potompkin. He will grow vege- 

 tables. Mr. Potompkin and family have 

 gone west, on account of Mrs. Potomp- 

 kin 's poor health. 



Miller's Greenhouses had a heavy run 

 of funeral vork last week. August 18 

 saw the climax, when the force turned 

 out two large blankets and a number of 

 designs and sprays for a Redkey fu-
