Business was quite brisk last week, 

 most of the stock going into funeral 

 work. Chrysanthemums have made 

 their appearance in Saginaw. Carna

 rather short in stem. Roses are plen- 

 tiful, especially in Saginaw, and of fine 

 quality. Outdoor flowers are about 

 over, with the exception of gladioli, 

 which are in their glory. 



Fair Week. 



The Northeastern Michigan fair wat; 

 held last week at Bay City and the last 

 day the gate was 35,000. The manage 

 ment says the florists' department wa? 

 the best on the grounds. The florists 

 of Saginaw and Bay City each ai' 

 ranged their own display at their ow» 

 expense, with a view toward the dis 

 semination of floricultural information 

 in the valley. There was some fine 

 stock shown, in the way of single 

 plants, collections of plants and cut 

 flowers, which were a credit to all ex 

 hibitors, and still we are promised a 

 better fair next year. Prof. Taft, of 

 Lansing, was judge and everyone was

 ums. Albert G. Boehringer had charge
