SAGINAW, MICH. 



The Market. 



Since the June weddings liave come 

 to an end tlie rest of the business has 

 gone with it. There are few roses, on 

 account of the housing of the plants, 

 but still enough for the demand. Car- 

 nations are about over for this season. 

 A few earl}' asters have made their 

 appearance and are surely welcome. 

 Gladioli will soon be in and help fill 

 the place of some of the flowers that 

 have dropped out. Everyone is busy 

 getting stock and houses in shape for 

 winter. Chrysanthemum and rose plant- 

 ing is all over for this season. Carna- 

 tions are next and they surely have 

 made a fine growth in the field this 

 year. It seems we always got rain at 

 the needed time, but not too much at 

 any time. 



Club Outing. 



The Saginaw-Bay City Floricultural 

 Society held its regular monthly meet- 

 ing with J. A. Bittner, at Alma, Mich., 

 combined with an outing. Six large 

 automobiles started out from Saginaw 

 filled to their capacity. En route the 

 party stopped oflf at Hemlock and had 

 the most bountiful chicken dinner at 

 the Cass Gosen hotel, then motored on 

 to Alma, where Mr. Bittner received 

 them with open arms. After light re- 

 freshments, served by Mrs. Bittner, the 

 society looked over Alma. 



The first visit was at Mrs. Francis 

 King's, and about the best way to 

 describe the garden is that it is worth 

 anyone's going . miles to see. The 

 delphiniums were in their glory. Every- 

 one took interest in the pure white 

 larkspur. The ramblers and clematis 

 were also in the height of their beauty; 

 in fact, the whole grounds, which con- 

 sist of about ten acres, are well laid 

 out. 



Our next stop was at the Republic 

 motor truck factory, which was inter- 

 esting to all. Then the party, about 

 thirty-five in number, went to the 

 Wright House, where Carl L. Roethke 

 had arranged supper, and everyone did 

 it justice. The society wishes to thank 

 Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Bittner for their 

 hospitality and entertainment, which 

 was enjoyed by all. Everyone had a 

 most pleasant day and all went home 

 wishing the day was only longer. Gee. 



DETROIT. 



The Market. 



Were I to report that business in 

 Detroit was brisk the readers of The 

 Review would put me down as a pre- 

 varicator. There is, nevertheless, con- 

 siderable doing in the flower line in our 

 city. It principally is funeral work, 

 with, however, an occasional wedding 

 decoration thrown in for good measure. 



The supply of stock has been away 

 ahead of the demand, of course. Car- 

 nations do not move readily, due, no 

 doubt, to their being mostly of inferior

WEED KILLER 



THE VEKY NEWEST AND QUICKEST METHOD OF DESTROYING WEEDS, GRASS AND 

 OTHER GROWTH IN GARDEN WALKS. GUTTERS, TENNIS COURTS, DRIVEWAYS, ETC. 



This fluid absolutely destroys all weeds and other growths wher- 

 ever applied, and its effect on the ground prevents the growth of 

 fresh ones for a year and thus saves a great deal of time and labor, 

 as no cutting, hoeing or hauling away of the weeds is required.

Various Notes. 



At a .sj>e('ial meeting of the Florists' 

 Club, held .July 13, it was decided to 

 hold the annual outing at Bois Blanc 

 park, the date to be announced later. 

 Considering the hot weather the meet- 

 ing was Well attended. A collection of 

 fine early gladioli was shown by Miesel 

 Bros. Frank Allen, gardener for E. D. 

 Speck, was highly commended for a 

 collection of fifteen varieties of out- 

 door peas. These were pronounced the 

 finest ever seen here.
