SAGINAW, MICH. 



The Market. -_,^^ 



Trade has been good and the outdoor 

 flowers are being missed, as almost 

 everything is at an end except gladioli, 

 which still are in fair supply. Asters 

 and other flowers have been ruined by 

 the heavy rains and cold weather. 

 Mums are selling well for so early. 

 Carnations are greatly improved Sn 

 length of stem and size of flower and 

 clean up every day. Koses have im- 

 I proved in quality, with a big demand 

 for white. 

 ! Various Notes. « 



The Koethke Floral Co. has every- 

 thing in good running order for the 

 winter. The barn to take the place 

 of the one lost by fire about four weeks 

 ago is nearly finished. 



Charles Frueh & Sons say mums are 

 selling as fast as they open. Business 

 is extremely satisfactory in their new 

 downtown location. 



Grohmann the Florist reports busi- 

 ness as good as can be expected, with 

 all short flowers worked up clean. 



Zorn & Gaertner had an unusually 

 heavy run on asters this season and 

 say they could have sold more if they 

 had produced them. 



Desner & Fisher say business is fair 

 and that everything looks good for a 

 big trade this winter. 



At the state fair at Detroit the 

 Stevens Gladioli Co., of Saginaw, took 

 first premiums on display of gladioli 

 and on display of dahlias. Many whole- 

 sale and retail orders have been booked. 

 The bulb harvest will be something 

 over two millions. 



J. B. Goetz Sons are cutting a large 

 supply of roses, which find ready sale 

 in and about Saginaw. Boston ferns 

 are a specialty here and they have sev- 

 eral houses of them in fine shape. - 



Harry Balsley, of Detroit, was a 

 visitor last week. 



The Saginaw-Bay City Floricultural 

 Society holds its next monthly meeting 

 October 6, at 4 p. m., at Zorn & Gaert- 

 ner 's. The subject of importance will 

 be a paper on soils, by Wm. Robertson. 

 A large attendance is expected. A 

 lunch will be served. Gee.
