On the Outskirts. 



I an> wondering how many florists 

 realize what treasures await them if 

 they haunt the roads not so frequented 

 by men. I was more than ever im- 

 pressed on my last trip to the country. 

 On one side borders of euphorbia; here 

 and everywhere rufHos of queen's lace. 

 There a patch of blazing star; here a 

 splasli of orange milkweed. In the 

 wilder places, long arching branches of 

 blackberries as pleasing to the eye when 

 gathered while they are bright red as 

 they arc pleasing to the palate when 

 the sun has finished its work. Combine 

 in your mind 's eye a lovely bunch of 

 roses bordered with either queen's lace 

 or euphorbia and say whether the wild 

 and the cultivated do not complement 

 each other. 



Various Notes. 



Two recent weddings have involved 

 members of Mr. Breitmeyer's staff. H. 

 E. Taylor brought a Washington bride 

 to our midst and John Moore, of the 

 Woodward store, married Miss E. Voel- 

 ker, of Detroit. 



Philip Breitmeyer entertained his 

 branch and department heads last week, 

 at his home on Willis avenue. Past 

 successes and thoughts for the future 

 were discussed. 



Herman Eogers, with Taepke, has re- 

 turned from the oast. 



Few are taking vacations tliis week, 

 as all wished to be on hand for the 

 S. A. F. E. C. G.
