DETROIT. 



The Market. 



Despite the warm weather we have 

 been having, business remains quite brisk. 

 Several of the stores even had some wed- 

 ding work last week. There is little good 

 stock available at present. In roses 

 Kaiserin, La Detroit and Killarney are 

 the only good varieties on the market. 

 The price ranges from 3 cents to 6 cents. 

 Asters are arriving in fairly large quan- 

 tities ; the flowers are of good quality, but 

 rather short-stemmed. The best asters 

 are bringing 2 cents. Shorts for work 

 can be had at 75 cents per hundred. Car- 

 nations are really out of the question; 

 that is, the flowers are so small that they 

 are not worth the mention. Achillea, 

 phlox, sweet peas, and in fact everything 

 available, meets with a ready sale, which 

 is saying a good deal for this season of 

 the year. 



The Qub's Anntial Ootins. 



Something doing every minute is about 

 the best way to put it concerning the De- 

 troit Florists ' Club 's outing, held at Bois 

 Blanc island, August 9. - The weather was 

 exactly what the doctor ordered. The 

 bulk of the crowd took the morning boat, 

 about 200 strong; that is, including all 

 the children, wives and sweethearts. 

 Dancing was immediately begun on the 

 dancing deck and kept up until the island 

 was reached, when there was a grand 

 skirmish for seats. As this was about

noon, the lunch boxes suffered severely; ■ 

 in fact, it is claimed that some of the 

 boys ate boxes and all. 



^ Of course the leading event on the pro- 

 gram provided by the entertainment 

 committee, headed by such an able per- 

 son as William B. Brown, was the ball 

 game between the east siders and the 

 west siders. Louis Charvat, baseball 

 player and commission house clerk, 

 pitched for the east side and practically 

 won the game for them. The score was 

 14 to 7 in favor of the east side. Her- 

 man Knope acted as umpire and it is 

 rumored that he received all the gate re- 

 ceipts as his share. William Dilger was 

 kept busy keeping tab on William Hiel- 

 scher's base running. Automobiles are to 

 be provided for the fielders next year. 

 William B. Brown captained the winning 

 team to victory and after the game di- 

 vided thn $5 cash prize donated by Frank 

 Holznagle equally among his team. A 

 box of cigars, donated by A. T. Bodding- 

 ton, was presented to the west side team 

 as a consolation prize. 



After the ball game the crowd lined up 

 near the race track, to compete for the 

 long list of prizes. The program was run 



off in the following order, with the win- 

 ners as mentioned:

 handicap, with one yard for each year, first,

The afternoon boat brought another 

 crowd of belated florists and friends, 

 who made up for lost time by daacing at 

 the park and on the return trip,
