DETROIT. 



There is little doing in the florists' 

 business. Most of the fraternity either 

 are going on their vacations, or have 

 returned with brown skins and tales of 

 how many fish they caught and of how 

 far they swam. 



One of the best times the local florists 

 have had recently was at the Detroit 

 Florists' Club outing at Charles Plumb's 

 summer home, Pointe Tremble, July 31. 

 It was a day devoted to fishing and 

 swimming, which were followed by a 

 dinner at the hotel. 



F. J. Knecht, of Fort Wayne, was a 

 visitor last week. He ships quantities 

 of stock to Michigan florists. 



Mr. and Mrs. Philip Breitmeyer have 

 returned from Montana, where they 

 spent part of the summer with their 

 daughter, Mrs. Frank Wright. 



The stock that reached the market last 

 week was of poor quality, with the ex- 

 ception of aslJers and gladioli. B.os&a 

 are extremely poor, whfle sweet peas 

 show the effects of the hot weather. 



Mr. and Mrs. Harry Breitmeyer have 

 returned to their home at Pine Lake. 



H. E. Taylor is back from a trip east.
