Murphy, who is taking his time about 

 rendering a decision. 



B. Schroeter sent out a letter to his 

 many undertaker customers the first of 

 the year, the substance of which was as 

 follows: "We are obliged to make a 

 eliglit advance in the charge for the 

 rental of palms. For the balance of the 

 cold weather our price for renting palms 

 will be as follows: Per dozen, $7.50; 

 per half dozen, $4. We will not deliver 

 less than $4 worth of plants." In doing 

 this Mr. Schroeter raised the price just 

 fifty per cent. In looking over his books 

 for January and the first part of Feb- 

 ruary he finds he still has the same num- 

 ber of undertakers, with seemingly just 

 as many funerals as before. If all the 

 other florists would follow suit, the rent- 

 ing of palms could be put on a paying 

 basis. 



diaries Warncke slipped on the side- 

 walk in front of the office of the De- 

 troit Lumber Co., February 4, and broke 

 his leg at the ankle. In falling he tried 

 to save himself and in doing so wrenched 

 his back. As it was late in the day, 

 when few people were about, he lay ex- 

 posed to the cold for some time. He is 

 suffering much pain from both the fall 

 and exposure. 



Mr. Scribner is again back in harness, 

 but he still feels none too well. 



February 5 was the date of the club's 

 regular meeting, but only a few mem- 

 bers showed up, so the meeting was not 

 called to order. 



Work has been commenced on a new 

 building for the Lohrman Seed Co. at 

 the intersection of Randolph street and 

 Gratiot avenue. This is but a few steps 

 from the firm's present location. 



Frank Danzer, Breitmeyer's decorator 



and window trimmer, met with a sad ac- 

 cident that will lay him up for some 

 time. He slipped on a stone step in 

 front of the Palms apartments and in 

 falling broke his collar bone in two 

 places. 



E. Ferrand & Sons are sending in some 

 fine white lilac for the local market. 

 This lilac is forced at their nursery 

 in Oakland county.

The Market. 



Trade does not seem to get much 

 life into it, although in comparison with 

 those iu other lines of business florists 

 do not seem to be getting much the 

 worst of it. 



The unusual number of deaths has 

 kept the funeral work going so that 

 the dullness is not so noticeable and 

 stock is being used up. However, you 

 will find everyone is looking for some- 

 thing cheap. 



Qub Meeting. 



The Pittsburg Florists' Club held its 

 regular monthly meeting February 4, in 

 the store of the Pittsburg Cut Flower Co. 

 It was the most enthusiastic meeting 

 ever held by the club. Over 100 mem- 

 bers wore present. It was a competitive 

 exhibition and the display would have 

 done credit to a real flower show. The 

 club is now getting in shape for some- 

 thing of this kind next season. 



It was election night, but there was 



only one nomination for each office. Mr. 

 Jones called the new president, Fred 

 Burki, to the chair, and after a few 

 modest and well chosen remarks Mr. 

 Burki took charge of the business of the 

 club. Several new members were elected 

 and about twenty new names were pro- 

 posed. 



- The committee, T. P. Langhans and 

 Charles Crall, who looked after the in- 

 terests of the club at Washington, gave a 

 report of their trip and told how near 

 they came to being surprised by a bluflf. 

 They only hoped to get the convention 

 for 1910 and almost secured it for 1909, 

 but were glad of an opportunity to do 

 the western boys a good turn and help 

 to make the vote unanimous for Indian- 

 apolis. They now feel that 1910 is al- 

 most assured to Pittsburg. This report 

 was received with great enthusiasm, and 

 if only a part of this enthusiasm can be 

 worked up at the time of the convention, 

 visitors to this city will be more than 

 repaid for their visit. Already some of 

 the members have outlines of entertain- 

 ment sketched out that look good to me. 

 Knowing that the officers of the club 

 will look after business, they are arrang- 

 ing the social matters. 



The subject was carnations, and the 

 following list of exhibits, all up-to-date 

 show grade, will prove the interest taken. 

 Among the commercial exhibitors were: 



John E. Haines, Bethlehem, Pa., Imperial, 

 Pink Imperial, John E. Haines. 



J. L. Wyland, De Haven, Pa., fifty each of 

 Enchantress, Rose-pink Enchantress, White Per- 

 fection, Pink Lawson.
