The Florists' Review 



Dbcembbk 14, 1916. 



BAY CITY, MICH. 



The regular meeting of the Saginaw- 

 Bay City Floricultural Society was held 

 December 4, at the store of E. L. Leidy, 

 in Bay City. The exhibition of roses 

 at this meeting was most interesting. 

 Exhibits were made by Boehringer 

 Bros., E. L. Leidy, John Marsh and 

 Martin Keit, of Bay City; Grohman the 

 Florist, Wm. Eoethke Floral Co., Chas. 

 Frueh & Sons and J. B. Goetz Sons, of 

 Saginaw. The attendance was the larg- 

 est in several months. John Irvine and 

 C. O. Wilcox acted as judges and 

 awarded the honors as follows: J. B. 

 Goetz Sons, first; the "Wm. Eoethke 

 Floral Co., second; Chas. Frueh & Sons, 

 third; Boehringer Bros., fourth; Groh- 

 man the Florist, fifth. J. B, Goetz Sons 

 had the largest display and the great- 

 est number of varieties. 



Speaking of the quality of roses 

 grown in northeastern Michigan, it is 

 amazing what can be done with a little 

 care and patience. Eoses with 4-foot 

 stems were shown and many of the 

 vases contained roses with 3-foot stems. 

 Hadley, Eichmond, Hoosier Beauty, 

 Shawyer, Killarney, Mock, Ophelia, Eus- 

 sell, Sunburst, Ward, Kaiserin and 

 White Killarney were the varieties 

 shown. Large, heavy buds, stiff stems 

 and nice, clean foliage characterized 

 the flowers shown. Taking the weather 

 during the month of November into 

 consideration, much credit is due the 

 growers. The judges expressed much 

 pleasure at being able to judge so splen- 

 did a showing of roses. 



Members from out of town were: Mr. 

 and Mrs. E. H, Adams, of Chesaning; 

 C. A. Hawley, of Vassar; A. J. Packer, 

 of Caro; C. 0. Wilcox, of the W. W. 

 Barnard Co., Chicago. Mr. Wilcox said 

 it was a wonderful showing of roses, 

 comprising as good stock as he had 

 seen anywhere. Gee, 



Columbus, O. — Friends of Frank 

 Miller and wife, of the Columbus Floral 

 Co., were sorry to hear they were going 

 to the hospital for an operation on Mr. 

 Miller for rupture and treatment for 

 burns received three years ago by Mrs. 

 Miller, and all the craft wishes them 

 both soon back to their good health 

 again. 



Marysville, Kan. — H. R. Fisher has 

 placed an order with the John C. Mon- 

 ingcr Co., Chicago, for the erection of 

 two more greenhouses in the spring, 

 one 27x92, the other 24x80. During the 

 recent dull season a new oflSce building 

 30x36 was erected, with panel walls and 

 steel ceiling, with a new icebox, 7x9, 

 and the whole place was fitted up in 

 first-class, modern style.
