DETROIT. 



Club Meeting. 



The regular meeting of the Detroit 

 Florists' Club was held September 20. 

 A committee was appointed to arrange 

 for an exhibition of cement slabs and 

 posts to be held at the Michigan Cut 

 Flower Exchange October 4. A number 

 of premiums Avill be offered as induce- 

 ments. The question of ' ' boarder ' ' 

 plants was brought up again. Some 

 thought it a good plan to refuse board- 

 ers altogether but the majority thought 

 it better to charge a good price per 

 month, as in that way many poor plants 

 would find their way to the junk pile. 

 There was some talk of starting another 

 bowling club. 



The Market. 



Good stock continues to be scarce, ex- 

 cept roses, which are very short in stem. 

 Business has been fair this week, the 

 sale of palms and Boston ferns starting 

 op again. 



Hugo Schroeter has been in Chicago 

 this week buying Beauties and other 

 roses for a large store decoration put 

 up on Wednesday, 



LOUISVILLE, KY. 



Trade has been very good for this sea- 

 son of the year and stock in fair sup- 

 ply, equality is up to the usual standard 

 for September. Prospects are very 

 bright and every one expects a busy sea- 

 son, fairly opening with our fall show, 

 which is expected to be the best ever held 

 by the Kentucky Society of Florists. 



The retailers all show the effects of 

 steadily improving demand for flowers 

 in improved facilities for handling the 

 trade. Walker's new store is a fine one 

 and Jacob Schulz is building a new store 

 which will be second to none in this part 

 of the country. Nanz & Neuner are 

 forced to vacate the store they have oc- 

 cupied so many years and will see to it 

 that they have every moderii>^ convenience 

 when they get located again. Baumer and 

 Haupt each do a nice business and have 

 good stores. 



BiiOOMiNGTON, III. — Work has been 

 started on the new greenhouses at the 

 university. 



New Philadelphia, O. — T. B. Stroup 

 has a house of Ivory roses with which he 

 is especially successful. 



Centralia, III. — J. W. Ross has his 

 annual dahlia show on thig week. He 

 has ninety-three varieties of dahlias on 

 ■ his place and when the season is at its 

 height the display each year attracts 

 rhaiiv visitors. 



ABUNDANCE 



The Phenomenal Yielder 



A carnation that stands alone for 

 bloomlDic, as a glance at the above 

 photo will ataow. No other sort can 

 compare with it. BloomlDg profusely 

 from fall until thrown out in summer. 

 Oolor, pure white, a good size, well 

 built flower of the shape of Scott. 

 Stemi in f til 14 to 16 inches. Btretcbing 

 to 2, i^i and 8 feet in winter and 

 spring, very stiff, without being rigid. 

 Is a fine keeper and shipper, flowers 

 sent to Ouba last year kept in perfect 

 condition a week after arrival. Plant 

 has the slim, wiry growth of McGowan 

 in fall but loses this character as 



winter and spring advance, aa it makes a rapid, strong and vigorous growth. It makes a 

 large bunch of flberous roots, which accounts for its wonderful recuperative power, and 

 makes it extremely easy to handle: it can be transplanted with perfect safety, plants stand- 

 ing up like soldiers in a couple of days after planting. It makes absolutely no grass at base 

 of plants for every shoot runs quickly up to flower. ▲ thoroughly business Oamation. Is a 

 profuse propagator and a sure and easy rooter. Has never been subject to any disease. 

 There is nothing in the way of a Oamation easier to grow, but beware of overfeeding, as it 

 won't stand it: flowers will burst if fed highly; 8 parts of well-rotted sod or rich loam, with 

 1 part well-rotted manure is a:l it requires, no other dressing. This is a Oamation that 

 returns dollars for cents to the grower, for while he grows Abundance be will alwaya get 

 an abundance. 



Ordera taken now for cuttings, so send in your order early aa they are filled in atrict 

 rotation. 



Price for well-rooted Outting'a, $10.00 per 100; 976.00 per lOOO; 800 at 

 lOOO rate. To those wishing unrooted cuttings will be given 25 extra witb each 100. 

 Rooted cuttings as soon as possible; unrooted cuttings after Nov. 1. Uaab before delivery
