The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



September 17, 1908. 



DETROIT. 



The Market. 



The days are getting shorter and car- 

 nation stems longer. Each is a sign 

 of approaching winter. Business was not 

 any too lively last week, probably owing 

 to another spell of warm weather. We 

 have not had any real fall weather, so 

 far, and therefore can hardly expect 

 business to open up. 



There are a lot of poor asters on the 

 market and these get no farther than 

 the dump. As reported last week, good 

 stock sells readily. Many fine roses are 

 obtainable at reasonable prices. Eobert 

 Klagge is sending in some fine La De- 

 troit. 



Variotti Notes. 



Antoine Wintzer, of West Grove, Pa., 

 spent Sunday, September 6, in Detroit, 

 as the guest of J. F. Sullivan. 



Charles Frahm is building up a nice 

 little retail business on the east side. 

 Ordinary work he makes up himself and 

 the larger pieces he turns over to B. 

 Schroeter. 



Many complaints are heard of the 

 poor express service in this city. Stock 

 arriving on the early morning trains from 

 the west is carried around town the bet- 

 ter part of the morning. No satisfaction 

 can be had at the head o£Qce, as they 

 claim not to have enough wagons. 



H. S. 



INDIANAPOLIS. 



The floral exhibit at the state fair was 

 well filled, considering the dry weather. 

 Those who made exhibits deserve great 

 credit, as all outdoor flowers were prac- 

 tically spoiled. The dahlias were entirely 

 gone and the mixed flower exhibit was 

 small as compared with other years. The 

 gladioli and asters showed the effect of 

 the drought. Fred Dorner, Jr., acted as 

 judge and in a satisfactory manner to 

 all concerned. He awarded prizes as 

 follows: 



Floral design, John Rieman first, Alfred War- 

 ner second. 



Bride's bouquet, John Rieman first, Alfred 

 Warner second. 



Basket of flowers, John Rieman first. 



Vase of cut flowers, John Rieman first. 



Display of gladioli, Wm. Back first, W. W. 

 Coles second. 



Display of asters, Wm. Hack first, W. W. 

 Coles second. 



Collection of flowers, W. W. Coles first. 



Fifty red carnations, Alfred Warner first. 



Fifty white carnations, Alfred Warner first, 

 W. W. Coles second. 



Fifty pink carnations, Alfred Warner flnjt, 

 W. W. Coles second. 



Red roses, W. W. Coles first. 



White roses, W. W. Coles first. 



Pink rosea, W. W. Coles first. 



Athol, Mass. — G. W. Sutherland

 good profit in it.

Facts Worth Learning 



jmr LOOK, BROTHER MINE ! LISTEN I -^B 



What GODFREY ASCHMANN, the Philadelphia Hustler, the great foreseer, has 



got to say. He never goes wrong. 



W" HE PREDICTS GREAT PROSPERITY! 

 NOW BEFORE THE DOOR 



You will sell everything you have at good 

 prices. After a hot spell follows a cold one: after 

 rain, sunshine; after a panic, money plentiful, 

 and you have got a chance 



TO FILL YOUR FOCK£T8 IF YOU WISH 

 TO DO SO. 



ARE YOU PREPARED FOR THE RUSH ? 



Brother, think it over; it is high time. When 

 will you start in? Now, of course. Waiting 

 means suicide. 



NOT ASLEEP. 



We are well prepared to meet all demands. 

 The Araucaria King means to sell his Araucarias, 

 and the motto of the moveman means Keep a 

 Moving. Eighteen years of experience of im- 

 porting, growing, shipping and handling of Arau- 

 carias brings us m the foreground of any mer- 

 chant in the business; so well known that any 

 florist from the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean can 

 sing a song of Godfrey Aschmann's Araucarias.
