Two or three heavy showers during the 

 week have helped everything outdoors 

 wonderfully, and the knowledge that the 

 backbone of the drought is broken is a 

 great relief to the growers. Business 

 for this time of the year keeps fairly 

 good. 



Some of the local florists who will go to 

 Niagara are: Harry Bieman and Herman 

 Piel, who will start August 15 and go 

 with the Cincinnati delegation; William 

 Billingsly, Irwin Bertermann, John 

 Grande, A. Wiegand and others, who will 

 start about August 18 and go by way of 

 Cleveland. 



Mr. Farhey, of Chicago, was a visitor 

 this week. 



B. F. Hensley, of Knightstown, is cut- 

 ting nice roses and carnations. Both 

 he and his wife expect to attend the 

 S. A, F. convention and will visit points 

 farther east afterwards. 



Some fine asters are being shipped in 

 from Chicago, the local supply being 

 short, on account of dry weather and 

 disease. 



The State Fair premium list is out. 

 There is a considerable increase in the 

 prizes for flowers, plants and designs, 

 though, according to the rules, the entries 

 will be very limited. S. 



INDIANA STATE FAIR. 



The Indiana State Board of Agricul- 

 ture has authorized me to announce the 

 following change in the rules governing 

 the floral exhibits at the Indiana State 

 Fair to be held September 7 to 11: 

 Rule 5, which read, * ' Professional florists 

 shall mean those who own or lease green- 

 houses," has been amended so as to 

 read, "Professional florists shall mean 

 those who are regularly engaged in the 

 raising or handling of plants or flowers 

 for financial gain. ' ' Entries close Au-

DETROIT. 



The Market 



Business did not open up Monday in a 

 very satisfactory manner. The last week 

 things were quite lively for summer and 

 we were all in hopes that this would 

 keep up. Still, a quiet Monday does not 

 necessarily indicate that the whole week 

 will be quiet. 



Stock is plentiful now, in all the dif- 

 ferent varieties. 



Qub Meetinff. 



A well attended meeting of the De- 

 troit Florists' Club was held at the club 

 room the evening of August 5. 



The room was filled to the brim. Con- 

 vention matters were discussed for some 

 time. It was learned that the Detroit 

 delegation will comprise about forty. 

 Secretary Sullivan was instructed to issue 

 invitations to Toledo, Grand Bapids and, 

 in fact, all the brother florists who pass 

 this way, to join with us. State Vice- 

 president Pochelon has completed all ar- 

 rangements with the D. & B. line for ac- 

 commodations. There will also be ample 

 room for any party which may decide to 



join the Detroit crowd. The Detroit 

 party leaves here Monday, August 17, 

 at 5 p. m., on the D. & B. boat. 



The annual election of oflScers was the 

 drawing card of the evening. Things 

 were pretty lively for a time, the final 

 result of the election being: President, 

 W. B. Brown; vice-president, M. Bloy; 

 secretary, J. F. Sullivan, reelected ; treas- 

 urer, Walter Taepke, reelected. 



The members have given up keeping 

 track of the number of years Mr. Sulli- 

 van has held the oflSee of secretary, but 

 as long as he is willing it wUl be Sul- 

 livan. His records of the minutes are 

 always complete, and he is always on 

 the job. 



"Walter Taepke will be in his third 

 term as treasurer, and he has filled the 

 office in a most thorough manner. The 

 treasury has considerable funds at pres- 

 ent and some thought it would be ad- 

 visable to ask the treasurer to furnish 

 bonds, but Mr. Taepke promised not to 

 abscond. 



B. Eschner was a visitor at the meet- 

 ing and, when called upon for a speech, 

 he complimented the members on the
