DETROIT. 



Florists' Cub. 



Although not the oldest or the strong- 

 est in point of membership, still the De- 

 troit Florists' Club is one of the most 

 active in the country. Organized in Aug- 

 ust, 1898, with a membership of sixteen, 

 it now has about eighty-five active and 

 fifteen honorary members and is grow- 

 ing stronger with every leaf off the cal- 

 endar. 



Some interesting discussions on vari- 

 ous subjects, in which all are invited to 

 participate, young and old alike, take 

 place at the sessions, but aside from the 

 benefits derived from these discussions, 

 the club has done lots of good, having 

 tended to form a closer friendship be- 

 tween those in the trade; in fact, you 

 will have to travel a long way to find a 

 set of men, competitors mostly, who are 

 so willing to help one another as are the 

 Detroit florists. 



At the last meeting, held September 

 19, the boys bade farewell to the old 

 clubroom in the Cowie building, as hence- 

 forth the meetings will be held in the 

 basement at 40 Broadway, in a room 

 generously turned over to the club by 

 the Michigan Cut Flower Exchange. 



The club's last meeting was fairly 

 well attended. Budolph Boehringer, of 

 Bay City, was elected a member. The 

 question box was kept working over- 

 time. Among the more important ques- 

 tions was: "What is thought of Ne- 

 phrolepis Elegantissima?" The general 

 opinion was that despite the fact that it 

 is an exceedingly fine variety, and one 

 that takes with the better class of peo- 

 ple, neither it nor any of the other fancy 

 varieties will tend to drive the Boston 

 out of the market, as they are too deli- 

 cate. 



Grasshoppers are causing lots of worry 

 in this locality, and in answer to a query 

 it was decided that the only practical 

 way to get rid of this pest is to catch 

 them, early in the morning being the 

 best time, as they are not so active be- 

 fore the sun rises. 



"Is it not a wise idea to educate the 

 general public as to the names of roses 

 and carnations f" This was deemed ad- 

 visable by some, but some again thought 

 it would became a nuisance, as people 

 would insist on having some variety not 

 at hand. 



"What about Eose Pink Enchant- 

 ress t" Several of the members who are 

 growing this rew variety spoke highly of 

 it. It naturally comes a little pale the 

 early part of the season, but soon as- 

 sumes a dark shade as the weather gets 

 cooler. 



The secretary was in receipt of a let- 

 ter from A. W. Sinclair, director of the 

 welfare work, saying it pleased the 

 N. C. B. very much to be able to enter- 

 tain the Detroit Florists' Club. 



August von Boeselager, of Mt. Clem- 

 ens, showed a vase of seedling carnations 

 which were pronounced fine for this sea- 

 son of the year. 



President Dilger intends holding a 

 special meeting of the oflBcers of the club 

 in the near future, when a program for 

 the season will be arranged. Any sug- 

 gestions by members will be thankfully 

 received.
