DETBOIT. 



Outing at Thomas Browne's. 



A few days ago each member of the 

 Detroit Florists' Club received a copy 

 of the following notice: 



l',.\l,L GAMB, LUNCH. OPEN AIK MKETIXG. 

 Sounds Interesting, does it not? 



Thomas Browne, of Greenfleld, Midi., clieer- 

 fiill.v Invites you to l>e his guest for the iiftor- 

 noon and evening of Tuesday. July 22. 



The feature of the afteruoon will be a l)asc- 

 hall game between the Growers and KetHiU-rs. 

 Hrowne's greenhouses will also be open for youv 

 inspeciion, that you may see rhlladelphln grow- 

 ing, and for those wishing t" visit Albert Stahe- 

 lin's movable houses, autos will be available. 



After a light lunch a regular meetiug of the 

 Detroit Florists' Club will be held In the early 

 evening. 



.lust tack this where it will not l>e forgotten, 

 and remember "All work and no play makes 

 Jack D dull boy;" so come along and have a 

 good time. 



There were eighty in the party. The 

 retailers won a closely contested game, 

 by a score of 9 to 8. Umpire M. Bloy's 

 decisions created much excitement in 

 the grandstand and several empty gin- 

 ger ale bottles were seen cutting capers 

 in the air pretty close to the umpire 's 

 head. E. A. Scribner, J. F. Sullivan, 

 Philip Breitmeyer, Harry Smith and 

 others participated in a game of quoits. 



Thomas Browne 's field of 120,000 car- 

 nation plants was said by many to be 

 the finest field of carnations ever seen. 

 Thousands of plants of Philadelphia 

 were seen in the pink of condition. Mr. 

 Browne 's mums are also looking fine. 



During the hour of twilight and while 

 waiting for the call to lunch, some of 

 the younger members put on boxing 

 gloves and the bout between John Ber- 

 lin and Herman Klagge, Jr., created 

 much amusement. 



One long table was set to accommo- 

 date the whole party and I doubt 

 whether any of us ever had a more en- 

 joyable meal. The sun had just hid be- 

 hind the fields; there was just enough 

 wind to cool the air and there were 

 plenty of good things to eat. President 

 Stock called upon J. F. Sullivan to act 

 as chairman, and among those called 

 upon foT* a few remarks were Philip 

 Breitmeyer, Michael Bloy, Frank Dan- 

 zer, Albert Pochelon, Robert Rahaley, 

 Thomas Browne, E. A. Scribner, Norman 

 Sullivan, J. A. Bissinger, of Lansing, 



POINSETTIAS 



We bare reduced the propagation of this plant to a science. We 

 root them as sure as you do a coleus cutting, and in large quantitF. 

 That makes it easy for us to give you plants that are right. We 

 are now shipping as fine young plants as you ever laid eyes on. 

 Sturdy, short stuff that will start right off and finish up with the 

 highest quality. 



Plant now for large bracts for cutting. Let us also book your 

 order now for what you will need later on to plant in pans. 



From 2 >^ -inch pots, at $5.00 per 100, $45.00 per 1000 



No need to pack Poinsettias in paper pots if they are well rooted. 

 Ours are well rooted.

President Stock, Walter Taepke and 

 Hugo Schroeter, Much amusement was 

 caused by Mr. Sullivan's witty intro- 

 ductions of the various speakers. 



Robert Rahaley informed those con- 

 templating going to the convention as 

 to the routes and the expenses of the 

 trip. It was learned that about fifteen 

 would be in the Detroit party, going by 

 way of Chicago. 



Albert Stahelin 's place was visited by 

 many club members on the day of the 

 outing at Thomas Browne's and the 

 ship-shape manner in which his whole 

 place is always kept was commented 

 upon. 



J. A. Bissinger and family motored 

 from Lansing to this city July 22 and 

 spent several days in and about town.
