264 fish. Of course the writer did not 

 ^ee the fish, but would not doubt Mr. 

 Heard's veracity. 



Miesel Bros, are building a neat re- 

 'ail store adjoining their greenhouses 

 ')n Mack avenue. This part of the city 

 i'as been growing rapidly and where 

 'he Miesels formerly confined them- 

 ^*elves almost entirely to plant growing 

 I'or the market, they now do a big re- 

 tail business. 



C. H. Maynard, of the llower Grow- 

 'Ts' Co., says he is well pleased with 

 the outlook. The first three months of 

 lis business were better than antici- 

 pated. 



Tuesday, July 28, Mr. and Mrs. 



Charles H. Plumb leave for Quebec via 

 the St. Lawrence river. August 1 they 

 sail from Quebec for England and other 

 European points, to return in about

 spending a two weeks' vacation fishing 

 at the St. Clair flats. Miss Helen Ott, 

 of the Schroeter clerical staff, will

 at Sutton's Bay. 



Albert Sylvester, of the Michigan 

 Cut Flower Exchange, returned July 

 27 from a well-earned vacation. 



B. Schroeter celebrated his seventy- 

 third birthday July 27. There are few 

 men in the trade who have seen as 



many years of actual service as Mr. 

 Schroeter and who still are as spry as 

 he. 



John Klang and a party of friends 

 will motor to Chicago, leaving Detroit 

 August 1. 



A miniature bathing beach jn the 

 window of the Bemb Floral Co. is at- 

 tracting much attention. Scattered 

 about on the beach, diving from spring- 

 boards, sitting in the sand and in va- 

 rious other positions, are many bathers 

 garbed in the latest costumes. These 

 figures, made of bisque, are in them- 

 selves works of art, while the beach 

 and surroundings are splendidly por- 

 trayed. H. 8.
