A Visit to Mt. Qemens. 



On November 2, fifteen members and 

 guests of our Florists' Club took a trip 

 to Detroit, where about forty Detroit- 

 ers took charge of us in a special car for 

 Mt. Clemens. A stop was made at Mr. 

 Sullivan's place, where everything was 

 in good order. Our pictures were taken 

 here, with Norman Sullivan as man be- 

 hind the gun. Arriving at Mt. Clemens 

 the whole party went to the Breitmeyer 

 place. There everybody went sightsee- 

 ing and they found what they were look- 

 ing for, house after bouse of roses, car- 

 nations, mums and violets all in the best 

 shape, except the latter, of which all 

 the former violet kings of Mt. Clemens 

 are decidedly tired. The bell called 

 everybody to lunch and such a lunch. 

 The Breitmeyer hospitality is well 

 enough known not to need any comment. 



The next place visited was Mr. Klagge 's. 

 Here, as at every other, everything was 

 in apple-pie order. Some houses of 

 roses were extra good. At Stevens', 

 Taylor's and Carey's the story repeated 

 itself. Befreshments were served nearly 

 everywhere. The coffee and doughnuts 

 at Taylor's hit the spot. 



At the Otis place we saw some fine 

 lettuce ready for market, and also some 

 Chinese vegetables that were certainly 

 curiosities. The name of a variety of 

 lettuce written in Chinese characters on 

 a label puzzled "William Dilger very 

 much. He finally admitted that he could 

 not read it, but thought if he had his 

 flute along he would be able to play it. 



Pressing business at home compelled 

 the writer and four other Toledoans to 

 break away while the party was at the 

 Carey place. The rest of the party 

 visited the Von Boeselager place and 

 wound up with a banquet where every- 

 body enjoyed himself to the limit. 



At George Rackham's place in Detroit 

 we saw some elegant cyclamen, a sam- 

 ple of which the proprietor promised to 

 send to the next club meeting, Novem- 

 ber 15, at Liberty hall. His carnations 

 and roses were also good. 



Various Notes. 



Business is good with almost every- 

 body. Mrs. H. Luder reports business 

 up to the limit. 



George Bayer feels proud of the mum 

 half ,of the 700-foot houses. The cut is 

 beginning to start heavily. 



At the Scottwood greenhouse the Lor- 

 raine begonias are showing up fine.

John Barrow is justly proud of a 

 bench of poinsettias. His place is the 

 only one in this district that has no 

 smoke stack. His heat is supplied in the 



shape of hot water by a company which 

 heats residences in the district.
