By Bpecial brand, we mean lilies that have been grown, harvested and packed especially lor 

 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.

ONONNATL 



The Market 



Business last week was a duplicate of 

 the week before. The demand was just 

 about the same and the supply likewise. 

 Beauties sold best of all and, next to 

 them, first quality asters. Other roses 

 sold only fairly well. The weather was 

 hot up to the middle of the week, when at 

 last a break came and it has been de- 

 lightful ever since. Several good rains 

 supplied a much needed want, as it was 

 extremely dry in the country and several 

 growers were suffering for want of 

 water. 



Qncinnati as a Convention Gty. 



The florists of this city are happy in 

 the fact that the S. A. F. has voted to 

 visit them in 1909. They appreciate the 



honor that has been conferred upon them 

 and they have resolved to do all in their 

 power to make the meeting here next 

 year one of the greatest ever held by the 

 society. The central location of Cincin- 

 nati ought to bring out the largest at- 

 tendance ever known. And for the same 

 reason the trade exhibit ought to excel 

 all others. Cincinnati has a great place 

 in which to hold the trade exhibit. There 

 will be plenty of room for all and there 

 will be every facility for staging any 

 kind of an exhibit a firm may want to 

 put up. Besides that, we have many 

 beautiful hotels and there will be ample 

 accommodations for all at whatever price 

 they wish to pay. Cincinnati is one of 

 the greatest cities in the country when it 

 comes to summer amusements. There can 

 be no question but that all who come to 

 the convention will be glad that they 



came and those who remained at home 

 will be sorry that they did not come. At 

 the next meeting of the Florists' Society 

 the first steps will be taken towards set- 

 ting the machinery in motion and from 

 that time on no stone will be left un- 

 turned to make the meeting in 1909 the 

 greatest in the history of the society. 



Various Notes. 



Vice-president-elect E. G. Gillett ar- 

 rived home Saturday evening, accom- 

 panied by his family. He has been busy 

 since then receiving the congratulations 

 of his many friends, in the trade and 

 out, in this city. 



Frank Huntsman brought in a sample 

 of the fruit from his seedling peach tree. 

 In this he has quite a good thing, as 

 the peach has passed judgment before 

 many experts and they pronounce it an 

 exceptionally good one. 



Gus. Adrian has joined Max Rudolph 

 on his trip among the Great Lakes. Thej 

 will be away for several weeks. 



Park Superintendent J. W. Bodgers 

 has returned from his trip through sev- 

 eral of the large cities of the middle 

 west. He visited the parks and has come 

 home full of ideas which he will try to 

 have adopted in our parks. 



F. E. Howald, of the Atlanta Pl«ral 

 Co., Atlanta, Ga., was a visitor between 

 trains on his way to the north. 



Wm. Murphy is another of those who 

 are spending a few weeks in northern 

 Michigan. C. J. Ohmeb. 



PoNTiAC, Mich. — The greenhouses of 

 the Pontiac Floral Co. have recently 

 been remodeled, enlarged and otherwise 

 improved.
