the Foster Floral Co. The west end 

 florists, too, were well represented with 

 designs of all kinds. C. C. Sanders, 

 Charles Juengel and C. Young & Sons 

 had the plant decorations. 



All the wholesale houses did a land- 

 office business, and stock of all kin-Is 

 was all cleaned up early. A few large 

 openings of this kind would make us 

 all forget the dull summer months.

DETROIT. 



The Market 



Business among the retailers took on 

 quite a spurt the last week, using lots 

 of stock, but out-of-town shipments have 

 been few. 



Boses are bringing anywhere from $2 

 to $5 per hundred, some specials going 

 at $6. The Detroit Cut Flower Supply 

 House is getting in some large shipments 

 of fine roses. More carnations are seen, 



Mrs. William Ellison and her daughter 

 returned this week, Tuesday. They 

 spent the entire summer at their north- 

 ern summer cottage. Harvey Ellison 

 was in charge of the store during the 

 summer months. 



J. F. Ammann, of Edwardsville, vis- 

 ited Springfield on Labor day to confer 

 with Robert O'Dwyer, superintendent of 

 floriculture for the state fair, in refer- 

 ence to floral exhibits for the coming 

 fair. Mr. Ammann is president of the 

 Illinois State Florists' Association. The 

 executive committee of this association 

 held a meting at the Dayton convention, 

 and it was then decided that Albert T. 

 Hey, of Springfield, and Mr. Ammann 

 act as a committee to take up this mat- 

 ter with Mr. O'Dwyer. In order to 

 make this department a success they will 

 be on the grounds during the fair next 

 month, and will be pleased to meet any 

 visiting florists. All florists through- 

 out the state should interest themselves 

 in this fair. 



L. A. Gieger, who has been with 

 Grimm & Gorley for a long time, is 

 now in the employ of Mrs. M. M. Ayers. 



A Big Event 



The local florists had a harvest on 

 Saturday in the opening of the big de- 

 partment store known as the Grand 

 Leader. It was estimated that nearly 

 $2,500 were spent in decorations and 

 floral designs. Every florist in the city 

 was busy. C. Young & Sons Co. alone 

 had nearly $1,000 worth of work. Among 

 the others who had a number of large 

 designs were Miss Theresa Badaracco, 

 the Riessen Floral Co., Alex. Siegel, 

 Ostertag Bros., Grimm & Gorley, and 



but are still small flowers, and about 

 8-inch to 10-inch stems. Lawsons are 

 about the poorest thing on the market. 



Large shipments of fine asters are ar- 

 riving twice daily at the Michigan Cut 

 Flower Exchange. Good asters move 

 fairly well, but the medium and poor 

 grades are a glut. 



Club Meeting. 



Presumably many of the florists are 

 making up for lost sleep, as there was 

 but a small attendance at the club's 

 last meeting, held September 5. Con- 

 vention talk occupied most of the even- 

 ing, and some interesting reports were 

 given by several of the members. 



E. A. Scribner gave a complete, clear 

 description of the N. C. R. mammoth 

 plant, also dwelling on the work done 

 for floriculture by that enterprising 

 firm. He stated that Uncle Sam de- 

 served great credit for his care of our 

 old war veterans at the Soldiers' Home. 

 The refreshment committee received a 

 vote of thanks. Despite the warm 

 weather no one died of thirst enroute, 

 or at Dayton either, for that matter, as 

 there waa plenty to drink. William 

 Brown says the water is too thick. 



The secretary was instructed to direct 

 a letter on behalf of the Detroit Flo- 

 rists' Club to the president and mem- 

 bers of the Dayton club, thanking them 

 for their hospitality. He was also in- 

 structed to send a letter of appreciation 

 to the National Cash Register Co. 



Secretary Sullivan received several 

 knocks in regard to the mistake in the 

 railroad fare as announced by him, but 

 vindicated himself fully, showing be- 

 yond a doubt that the ticket agent mis- 

 quoted the price in the first place.
