and carved out his own fortune. He is 

 president of a Texas railroad, but what 

 interests us more, he is president of 

 the Green Floral and Nursery Co. 

 and takes the liveliest interest in 

 horticulture. He is a grand, big man. 

 I wish I had in gold all the weight he 

 is over 300 pounds. He is a type of 

 man that this country is producing in 

 increased numbers; big brains on a big 

 body. The molecules of gray matter 

 need no stimulant; they are kicking and 

 revolving incessantly and keep their host 

 ever on the jump, with new ideas and 

 new, broad, and brilliant enterprises. 

 Col. Green fires a practical question at 

 you which staggers you for its shrewd- 

 ness and practical good sense and ex- 

 pects an answer at rapid-fire speed in 

 return. He is as free of airs and style 

 as a Nebraska farmer. His visit here 

 was not for pleasure alone. He was 

 here to inspect Mr. Kasting's cement 

 benches and was so well pleased with 

 them that he invested heavily to equip 

 his own large place, and obtained the 

 right to manufacture these benches in 

 the Lone Star state. 



Our desire is going to be gratified and 



we are going to have a trap shoot, so 

 bring along your old fowling piece. I 

 knew Mr. Altick would do it for us.

DETROIT. 



The Market. 



There has been no noticeable change in 

 business for the last month or so. Good 

 roses are not overplentif ul ; the best 

 bring $5 and $6 per hundred. Carna- 

 tions, despite the small, inferior flowers, 

 move quite well. Good sweet peas are 

 scarce. 



There are plenty of asters on the mar- 

 ket, but the majority of the stock is of 

 ]ioor quality, short steins, small flowers, 

 and, as a rule tlie edges are bad. Good, 

 clean stock in asters sells readily for 7.5 

 cents to $1, but the poor stuff won't sell 

 at any price. 



All Aboard for Dayton. 



The Detroit delegation of about 

 twenty-five will leave in a special car for 

 Dayton Monday, August 20, at 12:3.5 

 noon, over the C. H. & D., picking up 

 the Toledo boys at 2 p. m., and arriving 



at the convention city at 6 p. m. The 

 fare from Detroit is $5.80 round trip, 

 on the certificate plan. 



The Detaroit florists extend a hearty in- 

 vitation to their brethren in Michigan 

 and Canada to join them and enjoy the 

 privileges of a special car or cars. 



Various Notes. 



Mr. Pease, of the Detroit Cut Flower 

 Supply House, reports an exceptionally 

 good summer. This firm has been 

 making some large shipments of asters 

 to Cleveland. Their book-keeper, Hubert 

 Pierce, is spending a few weeks with 

 friends in "Wisconsin. 



Mr. and Mrs. Gus Hh -Taepke have 

 just returned from a profitable and en- 

 joyable eastern trip. 



B. Schroeter, Jr., his sister, Clara, 

 and Mrs. Hugo Schroeter left lately for 

 a trip through the Thousand Islands and 

 up the St. Lawrence to Quebec. 



Charles Plumb is still sojourning in 

 Europe. 



Harry Pickworth has returned from a 

 visit to his old home in England. Asidtt

 visited London and some of the large
