SAGINAW, MIOH. 



The Market. 



Business has not changed emongh this 

 summer to be noticeable. A steady run 

 of funeral and wedding work has kept 

 trade somewhat better than last sum- 

 mer. Outdoor flowers have suffered 

 from the extremely hot spell, which 

 lasted two weeks, but September 26 the 

 rain was a big help to the asters and 

 gladioli, and the temperature has gone 

 down from 90 degrees to about 70 de- 

 grees. 



Various Notes. 



The floral exhibit at the northeast- 

 ern Michigan fair, Bay City, which has 

 just come to a close, was one of the 

 most creditable displays of flowers and 

 plants ever shown at those fair grounds; 

 in fact, it was so good that the Saginaw- 

 Bay City Floricultural Society received 

 $407 in premium money of the $500 put 

 up. The floral exhibit at the Saginaw 

 county fair, which will be held next 

 week, will also be staged by the florists 

 of Saginaw and Bay City, and all re- 

 ceipts will be placed in the treasury of 

 the society to defray the expenses of 

 the Michigan State Florists ' Association 

 convention, which takes place March, 

 1921. 



The next meeting of the Saginaw-Bay 

 City Floricultural Society will take 

 place at the greenhouses of J. B. Goetz 

 Sons, Monday evening, October 4. Many 

 things of interest are expected to be 

 heard from President Hamilton, who has 

 just returned from Sweden after a two 

 months' visit to his aged parents. 



Visitors of late were Mr. and Mrs. 

 Augustus Meyer, South Bend, Ind.; 

 Henry Heilemann, Philadelphia, Pa.; 

 Mr. and Mrs. Martin Kelt and Mr. and 

 Mrs. Albert G. Boehringer, of Bay City, 

 Mich. G. 



DXJLXJTH, MINN. 



The Market. 



Chrysanthemums were in much bet- 

 ter condition last week, the chief varie- 

 ties being Chrysolora and Smith's Ad- 

 vance. Eoses are in good condition, 

 with Columbia much in evidence. As- 

 ters are still good and plentiful. Fu- 

 neral work has been fairly brisk. 



Various Notes. 



The big event of last week was the 

 Merrial wedding. The church was dec- 

 orated with southern smilax, with Eas- 

 ter lilies intermingled. Along the aisle 

 were tall standards, on which were 

 used 1,000 Easter lilies. On the church 

 porch large baskets of Columbia were 

 used. At the home the dining room 

 was decorated with White Killarney 

 roses and the table center was of lily 

 of the valley. The living room was 

 decorated with Columbia roses, some 

 in vases and some in wall baskets tied 

 with blue ribbon; 700 roses were used. 

 In the grounds many baskets and win- 

 dow boxes were filled with Golden Glow 

 chrysanthemums. The bride 's bouquet 

 consisted of White Killarney roses and 

 the bridesmaids carried Ophelia roses. 

 J. J. Le Borious had charge of the deco- 

 rating and the Duluth Floral Co. made 

 the bouquets. 



Visitors last week to Duluth were 

 John glzinga, of the National Bulb 

 Farms, Benton Harbor, Mich.; Charles 

 H. Grakelow, Philadelphia; Henry Fox, 

 Philadelphia, and Mr. Hall, of the M. 

 Rice Co., Philadelphia. J. E. S.
