DETROIT. 



The Market 



Despite the fact that we are right in 

 the midst of summer, business has been 

 quite brisk with most of the florists. Of 

 course there are some dull days, but on 

 the whole indications are that July will 

 foot up better than for some years. 



Hoses are still of pretty fair quality 

 and the supply is about equal to the de- 

 mand. Carnations seem to be on their 

 last notch; those still on the market are 

 small and have weak stems. Sweet peas 

 were somewhat of a glut last week. Some 

 fine outdoor peas are on the market. The 

 first asters of the season put in their 

 appearance Saturday, July 13. The out- 

 look is bad for the aster supply. Many 

 growers report serious loss of crops. 

 Peonies are over for this season; the last 

 were taken out of cold storage July 19. 

 There seemed to be little demand for 

 peonies this year, compared with former 

 years. Smilax is plentiful ; ferns are 

 also coming in large quantities. 



Qub Meeting. 



The last meeting of the Detroit Flo- 

 rists' Club, held Wednesday, July 17, 

 was well attended, consiuering the hot 

 weather. The names of Albert A. Frey, 

 of Highland Park, and Frank Walling, 

 of Greenfield, were proposed for member- 

 ship. Convention matters were discussed. 

 It was left to Wm. Dilger to look up 

 rates. A program was arranged for the 

 club's annual outing, to take place Aug- 

 ust 9, at Bois Blanc island. R. C. White- 

 hill, of the Hammond Paint Works, was 

 a visitor at the meeting. He donated a 

 5-gallon pail of either paint or putty for

the club 's outing. A liberal sum was also 

 allowed the entertainment committee out 

 of the club's funds, to be expended for 

 prizes. Mr. Scribner made a motion to 

 close the stores on the day of the outing, 

 but this did not meet with the approval 

 of the rest of the members. 



Every member should attend the next 

 meeting, August 7. The election of ofii- 

 cers will be the main thing on the pro- 

 gram and we want the voice of every 

 member. 



Club's Outiog. 



The Detroit Florists' Club's annual 



outing will be held Friday, August 9, at 

 Bois Blanc island. Besides the usual pro- 

 gram of games and dancing, the enter- 

 tainment committee has arranged for a 

 ball game between the east siders and 

 west siders. The west siders will be cap- 

 tained by ex-President Ed Beard, against 

 Captain W. B. Brown, of the east siders. 

 Take the steamer Columbia at the foot of 

 Bates street. It leaves at 8:45 a. m. and 

 3 p. m. Fare for the round trip, 35 cents.
