The Market. 



Transient trade is now at a low mark. 

 Many of those who are usually the best 

 purchasers are on their vacations and 

 those remaining in the city have flowers 

 in their own gardens or purchase them 

 only on rare occasions. There has been 

 a good amount of funeral work for this 

 season of the year and it has formed 

 the bulk of the trade. The dull spell 

 will probably continue for another 

 month, when fall activities will begin 

 to open up. 



Various Notes. 



No definite plans have been made as 

 yet for an outing of the florists of the 

 county this year, although for a num- 

 ber of years one has been held in the 

 early part of August. It has been found 

 difficult to find a satisfactory place to 

 hold it this year and other things have 

 interfered. While it is still possible 

 that arrangements will be perfected for 

 an outing in September, it is probable 

 that the event will be omitted this year. 



McLaughlin & Murphy, 181 Clinton 

 avenue, report that there is a good deal 

 of funeral work at the present time, but 

 that there is little trade outside of that.

BAY CITY, MICH. 



The members of the Saginaw-Bay 

 City Floricultural Society took a day's 

 rest from their more or less arduous toil 

 in and around the greenhouses and held 

 their annual outing at the Winona 

 beach, August 10. 



The outing was worthy of its tradi- 

 tions and was a success in every way. 

 Over 100 persons were present. There 

 was a basket luncheon under the trees 

 in view of the Saginaw bay. In the 

 afternoon there were all sorts of enter- 

 tainments, among which figured a snappy 

 baseball game, which the Bay City team 

 won, 5 to 1. Swimming was enjoyed by 

 the young people, followed by games, in 

 which many participated. There were 

 children 's, ladies 'and young men's races, 

 all of which Bay City won. To Saginaw's 

 credit fell the balloon race. In the tug 

 of war, after plowing up a considerable 

 piece of lawn, the Bay Cityans pulled 

 the Saginaw mum growers over to their 

 side. 



Everyone had a great time, except 

 Martin Keit, who caught only the tail 

 end of the outing on account of having 

 sprays to make. J. J. H. 



An Elastic Cement That Expands 

 and Contracts ^^ith the Weather 



Make your greenhouse weather-tisht with Asbestfalt, 

 the elastic cement that never gets hard, cracks or 

 peels in cold weather or runs in hot weather. 



$1.25 per gallon. Why pay more? 



Ton can't get anything better no matter how much 

 more you pay. The ingredients are of the purest; 

 weighs but 10 pounds to the gallon. 



With the scarcity of coal and its high prices, the 

 careful applicatioo of Asbestfalt will more than pay 

 for itself by keeping your greenhouse air-tight. 



To insure best results, apply Asbestfalt 

 with our Liauid Putty Machine, price 

 (2.00. With every barrel purchase of 

 Asbestfalt, one machine free.
