Mr. Boehringer, of Bay City, was

 member of the club. 



Michij^an State Fair. 



The Michigan state fair, held at De- 

 troit August 30 to September 7, was a 

 marked success. Fine weather prevailed 

 during the full nine days. 



A new horticultural building provided 

 ample space for the floral exhibits. John 

 Breitmeyer's Sons had a fine exhibit of 

 ferns, fancy caladiums and coleuses. S. 

 Taplin had an exhibit of palms and 

 a floral design. Mrs. F. Bush won first 

 jirize on a floral design. Tbos. Gowan- 

 lach displayed some prize asters. B. 

 Schroeter had a floral design and several 

 entries of roses. F. A. Thompson & Co. 

 had a booth in the main building. 

 Among the nurserymen on the grounds 

 with exhibits were: W. W. Essig & 

 Co., of Detroit; E. Ferrand & Sons, of 

 Detroit; the Greening Nursery Co., of 

 Monroe, and I. E. Egenfritz Sons &•■ 

 Co., of Monroe. 



The G>nvention Date. 



The Detroit florists are one and all 

 opposed to the contemplated changing 

 of the convention date. It is not only 

 customary to take vacations in summer, 

 but seventy-five per cent of the florists 

 cannot get away during November, 

 meaning a loss of about that per cent 

 of Detroit members, as few who do not 

 attend the conventions would belong to 

 our grand society. 



Our people hope that the executive 

 committee will consider this matter thor- 

 oughly before making a move that will 



so greatly reduce the ranks of the S. A. 

 F. No doubt the falling off would be 

 proportionately the same from other 

 cities, especially among the retailers and 

 pmaller florists. 



Various Notes. 



Leopold Mallcst, of Mt. Clemens, for 

 many years with Eobert Klagge, but 

 now in business himself, is cutting some 

 fine Enchantress. 



It did not take a special car to bring 

 home the trophy won by the Detroit 

 bowlers at the convention, but neverthe- 

 less they are the proud possessors of a 

 pretty loving cup as a consolation prize. 



S. D. Green, of H. Bayersdorfer & Co., 

 reports a successful trip through north- 

 ern Michigan. 



E. A. Fetters spent Sunday in Cleve- 

 land. 



H. Walker has given up his summer 

 home at Peach Isle, therefore the head 

 gardener, David Bayer, was thrown out 

 of a position. Mr. Bayer recently sent 

 some tomatoes, grown on plants grafted 

 on to egg plants, to President Roosevelt. 

 They were the largest ever seen at the 

 White House. 



Mrs. J. Barnitt and her son, of New 

 Jersey, spent Sunday in Detroit.

The Market 



Business continues to be good for this 

 season of the year. There is a good, 

 healthy demand, and while the supply 

 is not all that could be desired, it is 

 fair, and there are few orders which 

 cannot be filled in full, and with good 



stock. Several decorations of good size 

 and a good run of funeral work made the 

 business. The best flower buyers are 

 beginning to arrive home, and their in- 

 fluence will be felt from now on. All 

 indications point to a good fall trade, 

 and now with the mums only a few 

 weeks off it will be on us before we are 

 aware of it. 



Asters, which have been so plentiful 

 this season, are beginning to get a little 

 scarce now, and the price is advancing 

 to a fair figure. Some good ones are 

 still to be had and they sell on sight. 

 White is still in the heaviest demand. 

 Gladioli are about out of the market 

 for this year, and we are all glad to 

 see them go, as they were not a paying 

 crop this season. Tuberoses did pretty 

 well, and some good ones are still to be 

 had. Carnations are not much to speak 

 of yet, but are improving and within 

 a few weeks we ought to have some fine 

 blooms. There is a brisk demand for 

 them and they sell out clean at fair 

 prices for inferior stock. Roses are 

 improving rapidly and some good ones 

 are to be had now. Beauties especially 

 are coming in fine shape and sell well. 



Floriats' Society. 



Owing to the fact that there was not 

 a quorum present, the regular meeting 

 of the Florists' Society scheduled for 

 last Saturday night had to be called off. 



It is now an open question whether 

 the society will continue to give the 

 three fiower shows in its club-rooms, as 

 it has done in the past. At the next 

 meeting this subject will be talked over 

 pro and con, and a decision arrived at. 

 It is a question whether these shows
