The tmsteM who have charge of the 

 fall flower Bhaw will meet this week at 

 Weber's. A full attendance can now 

 be had, aa Messrs. Weber and MiUer 

 have returned from Europe. Mr. Weber 

 reports that Ihe hall is a very fine one, 

 oiot so large, but beautifully decorated, 

 and that thej expect a great show and a 

 successful oBe. 



The big social bowling night to be 

 given by tke St. Louis Florists' Bowl- 

 ing Club in honor of Messrs. Weber and 

 Miller, also the De Soto bowlers, will 

 take plaee at the Palace alleys next 

 Monday sight. Invitations will be sent 

 out this week. A large attendance is ex- 

 pected. A match of three games will 

 be rolled with the De Soto boys, the 

 same team that visited us early in 

 the season. 



Lewis R. Allen, who is proprietor of 

 the Murphysboro Greenhouses, was in 

 the city last week, making friendly calls 

 on the trade. J. J. B. 



DETROIT. 



The Market. 

 Although August is generally a very 

 dull month with the florists, this year 

 seems te be an exception. There has 

 been plenty of good funeral work, also 

 a number ef weddings, just enough to 

 keep the ball rolling. With the excep- 

 tion of good white, asters are plentiful. 

 There are lots of roses to be had, but 

 mostly shorts. Beauties are simply 

 fierce. La Detroit seems to be a fine 

 summer rose and is in good demand. 

 'Carnations are still very poor, the best 

 being worth only $1 per hundred. The 

 best roses are selling for $5 per hun- 

 dred, while asters are averaging $1. 

 With the approach of Labor day, there 

 is hope that the colored asters will be 

 cleaned up, as a great many are gener- 

 ally used for buttonieres. Smilax seems 

 rather scarce. Fancy ferns are to be 

 had by the thousands. Let us hope for 

 a greater supply next March and April 

 than we had this year. 



Convention Echoes. 



With the exception of the two Sulli- 

 vans, the Detroit delegation has re- 

 *"™ed. Wm. Dilger, Walter Taepke, 

 Albert Bemb and B. Schroeter, Jr., re- 

 turned Saturday. They are all highly 

 elated with the two weeks' outing at 

 Washington and thereabouts. A number 

 of the boys put in a week in New York. 



Wm. Dilger took a run over to Boston. 



Albert Bemb thinks they ought to 

 have more whitewash on the glass over 

 the beach at Atlantic City. The whole 

 "bunch" has a bright red tan. 



Thomas Browne says sleeping in a 

 cellar isn't gust what it is eracKed up 

 to be, especially with a bunch of De- 

 troit florists' kids. 



^ Anyone who thinks he missed any 

 sight in Washington can get a photo- 

 graph of the spot from B. Schroeter, Jr. 

 He brought everything home in his 

 camera. 



Various Notes* 



A visit to Frank Holznagle's place 

 showed everything in the pink of con- 

 dition as usual. Mr. Holznagle has just 

 returned from a trip to Montreal, by 

 way of the Thousand Islands. 



Painters have been busy at Wm. 

 Brown's store. 



Mrs. J. F. Sullivan has been a very 

 busy woman the past two weeks, with 

 the two menfolks away. 



B. Schroeter is having the steam 

 heating service installed in his store 

 and show house. This new heating sys- 

 tem is meeting with great favor in De- 

 troit. 



The black aster bug, or beetle, is 

 doing a great deal of damage in De- 

 troit and vicinity, ruining thousands of 

 asters. 



Fred Pantke, of Grosse Pointe Farms, 

 would like a suitable name for a new 

 sport in the shape of a ten-pound girl. 

 Pass the cigars, Fred, and everyone will 

 make a suggestion. 



John C. Smith, of Wyandotte, is put- 

 ting up a handsome new greenhouse and 

 store, the finest in the west, so he says. 



Gus Knoch, of Woodmere, is also get- 

 ting in line with a $6,000 dwelling and 

 store, built mainly of cement blocks. 



Work on the Breitmeyer building is 

 progressing rapidly. Miami avenue has 

 been widened five feet on each side and, 

 after being repaved with asphalt, it will 

 be an ideal florists' rendezvous. 



Gladioli, asters and Hydrangea pan- 

 iculata constitute the decorations in 

 most of the store windows. 



"Every bud is a flower" is the coun- 

 tersign at the Michigan Cut Flower Ex- 

 change. This applies particularly to the 

 La Detroit rose, which is in pink what 

 Kaiserin is in white. 



Chas. Warncke has added a flne tour- 

 ing car to his list of vehicles. He is 



at the "Michigan Out" bright and early 

 every morning. 



P. F. Beuss, formerly at Schroeter 's, 

 has engaged in the cut fern business, 

 locating in Johannesburg, Mich. Being 

 in Mr. Schroeter 's store over seven 

 years, he ought te know good ferns 

 when he sees them. 



Caniation plants are looking fine in 

 Detroit and vicinity. 



Leepold Oestemei, of Siebreeht & Son, 

 New York, reports business very good 

 in Biehmond, Va., Pittsbnrg and Buf- 

 falo. He is in Detroit at the present 

 writimg. Other visitors were Wm. Gries- 

 inger, Chicago; J. A. Valentine and B. 

 S. Gillis, Denver; A. L. Bamett, New 

 York. H. &
