The Florists' Review 



September 16, 1915. 



DETROIT. 



The Market. 



Although business should be picking 

 up now, the weather is so warm and 

 outdoor stock is still in such fine con- 

 dition that we cannot expect much im- 

 provement until we get a good frost. 

 The market is overflowing with asters 

 and gladioli. There are numerous ama- 

 teurs in this vicinity who bring their 

 products to the city, and it is not un- 

 usual to see a woman sitting in front 

 of a grocery or other store with a lot 

 of first-class asters, selling them at 25 

 cents per dozen. 



Vaxious Notes. 



"' JIT^aflf of carpenters is engaged in 

 remodeling the exterior and interior of 

 Taepke's store. Upon Gus H. Taepke's 

 death, recently, the heirs formed a 

 stock company, known as the Gus H. 

 Taepke Co. The date of incorpora- 

 tion was August 23. The capital stock 

 is $15,000, divided into $100 shares. 

 Walter Taepke holds ninety shares; 

 Mrs. Kitt^^^agpke, Mr. Taepke's 

 widow, has WMPWve shares, and Laura 

 Taepke, a daughter, who always looked 

 after the retail business at the green- 

 houses, holds the remaining fifteen 

 shares. 



E. A. Fetters' handsome new stores, 

 at Woodward and Pallister avenues, 

 are nearing completion. There are 

 three stores, with living apartments up- 

 stairs. The center store will be occu- 

 pied by Mr. Fetters. The property has 

 considerable depth and it is the inten- 

 tion to build several greenhouses in the 

 rear. 



F. J. Eosser is the possessor of a new 

 "Paige six" touring car. 



Ferdinand Kolbe recently purchased 

 a handsome new touring car. 



The Detroit ilorists' Club has been 

 virtually reorganized. Many of the 

 members appeared to have lost interest 

 in the club's affairs to such an extent 

 that it was impossible even to collect 

 their back dues, covering in some cases 

 four or five years. Kecently a paper 

 was presented to every member, ask- 

 ing him to pay $4 in advance, as dues 

 in the new organization until January 

 1, 1916. Those not wishing to become 

 affiliated with the new club have been 

 just naturally dxopped, as the old or- 

 ganization is now practically extinct. 

 A further change of plans has also been 

 made. Meetings will hereafter be held 

 the first and third Tuesdays of the 

 month, instead of Monday as hereto- 

 fore. The members will assemble for 

 a 6 o'clock dinner, and later the meet- 

 ing will be called. This will be fol- 

 lowed by bowling. Several strong bowl- 

 ing teams were organized at the first 

 meeting, September 14. H. S.
