Just received In extra fine condition, mCHELL'S Special Brand Lilium Harrisii 



By special brand, we mean lilies that have been grown, harvested and packed especially for 

 us. They are the cream of the Bermuda Lily crop, being a selection of the most uniform bulbs, 

 gathered in districts where the smallest amount (if any) of disease exists. Every year the 

 florists are making greater demands for this particular strain and we advise all to order early.

V The Henry Shaw medal, value $25, 

 wBWlie again offered at the fall flower 

 show of the St. Louis Horticultural So- 

 ciety. This medal was first brought 

 out by the board of trustees of the 

 Missouri Botanical Garden in 1893, and 

 has been offered every year since, when 

 a flower show was held. Mr. Shaw pro- 

 vided that the judges making awards 

 at such exhibitions shall certify that said 

 medal is awarded for a plant of de- 

 cided merit for cultivation, not previously 

 an article of North American commerce 

 and introduced to such commerce by the 

 exhibitor during the year in which said 

 award is made. There are numerous 

 plants worthy of this medal introduced 

 into American trade each year. Any de- 

 tailed information will gladly be fur- 

 nished by Prof, William Trelease, di- 

 rector of the Missouri Botanical Gar- 

 den, St. Louis. J. J, B,

The Market 



Vacations are *n order, and there is 

 plenty of time to enjoy the same. The 

 remaining help at the stores is being 

 kept fairly busy with funeral work and 

 once in a while a wedding order breaks 

 in. 



Stock is a little more plentif^il than 

 last week, for the reason that more 

 asters are coming in, thereby easing up 

 a little on the other flowers. The roses 

 are fairly good. La Detroit and Kaiser- 

 in are the best. Carnations are gone. 

 Sweet peas and asters are about the 

 best flowers available. In former years 

 most of the asters on this market came 

 in from Mount Clemens, but this year 

 other neighboring towns had to be called 

 on, as asters are not as plentiful in the

Qub Picnic 



The Detroit Florists' Club held the 

 annual outing July 27 at Bois Blanc 

 island, a beautiful spot some twenty 

 miles from Detroit, The largest part of 

 the crowd left on the early boat. The 

 weather, which is of so much importance 

 in an event of this kind, was ideal. The 

 outing was the most successful ever held 

 and the attendance exceeded other years 

 by far. 



Of course the most important event 

 of the day was the ball game, between 

 the Michigan Cut Flower Exchange and 

 the Detroit Cut Flower Supply House 

 teams. The latter won by a score of 8 

 to 3, The Michigan Cut Flower Ex- 

 change team has been winning all the 

 honors so far and seems to have become

a little too confident, Louis Charrat, of 

 the winning side, played excellent ball 

 from the first to the last inning. Hubert 

 Pierce, the captain, was also in good 

 trim. The teams were evenly matched 

 and in the beginning of the game hon- 

 ors were pretty evenly divid^, but in 

 the sixth inning the Detroit team broke 

 away from the opposite side. 



The tug of war between the east side 

 and west side teams was about the most 

 evenly matched of any ever seen on the 

 island. For about five minutes both 

 sides toed the line and then the west 

 siders seemed to weaken. This gave the 

 east side team, under Captain J. F. Sul- 

 livan, its opportunity to win. 



The balance of the program was ear-
