 we also can handle the smaller ones, and we want them, too.

Otto Guerth had his store tastefully 

 •lecorated for the Home Coming week. 



Many of the retail stores were hand- 

 somely decorated with beautiful blooms 

 of the season. Much credit is due to 

 the Lexington market florists, who made 

 a beautiful show of choice cut flowers. 



W. H. Reinhardt, of Orange ville, Md., 

 is repairing his houses and has removed 

 his boiler to the opposite end of one 

 of his houses. 



August Eberhardt, of North Balti- 

 more street, extended, is still handling a 

 large quantity of cut dahlias in the city 

 markets. 



Harry Quick has made his appearance 

 again in market. His business is looked 

 after by his wife. 



Edward Fauth, of Pennsylvania ave- 

 nue, reports that business is good and 

 he had a nice lot of funeral work. 



While G. Cook was attending to some 

 business October 18 he left his team 

 standing on Paca street. The horses, 

 becoming frightened, ran away, made for 

 the market and became entangled be- 

 tween two teams. Little damage was 

 done. J. L. T. 



DETROIT. 



ThtMuket. 



From all indications, business was 

 good with the store men last week. There 

 seemed to be a large amount of funeral 

 work. Plants were in good demand, the 

 Boston fern seemingly still the most 

 popular of them all. Stock in general is 

 scarce and everything on the market 

 cleaned up nicely at a good price. There 

 was a good sale for orchids last week, 

 owing to there being several large funer- 

 als. Beauties are in big demand. 



Of course chrysanthemums are about 

 the most popular of all flowers at the 

 present time, and why shouldn't they 

 bef Stock brought good prices, running 

 all the way from 75 cents for stock for 



work to the fine large Halliday or the 

 beautiful Clementine Touset at $3 per 

 dozen. Besides these, there are on the 

 market such varieties as Polly Rose, 

 Rosiere, Pacific and Monrovia. 



Roses are at somewhat of a premium 

 at present and naturally are bringing a 

 good price. La Detroit and Kaiserin are 

 becoming quite scarce. Short stock sells 

 readily at from 3 cents to 4 cents, while

Such friendly assistance is thoroughly

 those selling articles of florists' use

the best flowers bring 8 cents without 

 any trouble. 



Mount Clemens is sending in some 

 fine cosmos in different colors. This 

 meets with ready sale. 



Carnations are improving daily and 

 some fine stock can be had. The best 

 stock brings from 2% cents to 3 cents. 

 Enchantress, Rose-pink Enchantress and 

 White Enchantress are in big demand. 

 Green of all kinds is plentiful. 



Qub Meeting. 



There was a rather slim attendance 

 at the Detroit Florists' Club's last meet- 

 ing, as compared . with the previous 

 meetings. There was no special sub- 

 ject assigned for the evening and this 

 was, no doubt, the cause of the smaller 

 attendance. 



A new entertainment committee was 

 appointed by the president, as follows: 

 Walter Taepke, chairman; Wm. Hiel- 

 scher and Albert Pochelon. 



The date for the annual trip to Mount 

 Clemens has been set for November 1. 

 All arrangements for this outing are in 

 the hands of the foregoing committee. 



Some of the florists' wives or sweet- 

 hearts have been complaining that there 

 are not enough ladies' nights, so the 

 entertainment committee was instructed 

 to arrange for several for the winter. 

 The first will take place on the evening 

 .of November 19, at Harmonic hall. In 

 connection with it there will be held an 

 exhibition of flowers and plants by local 

 growers. A liberal sum has been al- 

 lowed by the club as prize money. The 

 exhibition committee, consisting of T. 

 Browne, Robert Unger and Albert 

 Pochelon, has the arrangements for this 

 show in charge. Outside exhibits are 

 also welcomed. 



A resolution was passed to keep on 

 record at the Michigan Cut Flower Ex- 

 change a list of all the dead beats who 

 have stung any of the store men about 

 town. This list will be open to the in- 

 spection of all the club members, and 

 any florist will confer a favor on his 

 brother florists by sending in the names 

 of no-pay customers. 



Among the Growers. 



The writer took a run out to Grosse 

 Pointe last week. Theodore Damerow 

 was busy cutting chrysanthemums for 

 the market. He will have a nice lot 

 of mums for some time to come. The 

 growing of violets has been given up for 

 the present by Mr. Damerow. The
