business, despite the recent blow given 

 to all business. 



There are all sorts of lilies and all 

 sorts of lily prices to correspond. While 

 most of the stock seen is good, there is 

 also much poor stock, one fault being 

 shortness of stems.

Qub Meeting. 



The large, roomy tables at the Mich- 

 igan Cut Flower Exchange were com- 

 pletely covered with a fine assortment of 

 blooming plants and cut stock on the 

 evening of Wednesday, April 1, that be- 

 ing the regular meeting night of the De- 

 troit Florists' Club. The main feature 

 of the evening was an exhibition of 

 Easter stock. For some reason, probably 

 owing to the strenuous efforts of our 

 show committee, the florists took an un- 

 usual degree of interest in this exhibit. 

 Those who showed plants were Beard 

 Bros., Mr. Dinser, Charles Plumb, Breit- 



meyer's Sons, J. F. Sullivan, Fred Miesel 

 and Gus Taepke. There was also a nice 

 exhibit of plants from the greenhouses 

 at Belle Isle. Robert Klagge, James 

 Taylor and F. Kolbe showed a fine lot 

 of cut fiowers. In all there was a great 

 variety of all the popular Easter plants, 

 as well as some novelties. 



Philip Breitmeyer, who recently re- 

 turned from a visit to Florida and other 

 parts of the south, gave an interesting 

 talk on his trip. He also interested the 

 members with a short talk on the rose 

 show at Chicago. Mr. Breitmeyer said 

 that the paper read before the Rose So- 

 ciety by Mr. Sullivan, of Detroit, elicited 

 much favorable comment. 



George Browne, who long ago was 

 styled the Greenfield poet, recited a piece 

 of poetry at the request of the president. 

 It was called "Thte Echo," and made a 

 decided hit with the members. 



The name of M. Bloy was handed in 

 for membership in the club. Mr. Bloy 

 has just purchased the greenhouses and 

 house of George Rackham, and will no 

 doubt prove a valuable member of the 



club, as he is a man of wide experience. 



A vase of Afterglow carnation was 

 shown at the meeting and caused much 

 favorable comment. The flowers had 

 been picked Sunday, March 29, and ap- 

 peared perfectly fresh, showing their 

 fine keeping qualities. 



After the meeting the members and 

 visitors were treated to a light repast 

 by the entertainment committee. 



Varioitt Notes. 



"Professional weeper" is a new title 

 which the police of Detroit have award- 

 ed to a man claiming to be George 

 Muckey, of Denver, Colo. This gentle- 

 man was arrested Friday evening, April 

 3, soon after trying to pass a worthless 

 check on B. Sehroeter. Muckey has a 

 way of sobbing that will arouse the sym- 

 pathy of evenithe most hard-hearted. He 

 admits being the man who ordered fu- 

 neral flowers from Maurice Wolf and 

 later from Charles Tuson, of Windsor, 

 Ont. These flowers were to be for a 

 dead sister, and in payment for them 

 Mr. Muckey tendered a worthless check,
