Help the Violet 



Start the Season Right 



It is as easy to start the Violet Season October 1, as to let it wait — 

 besides, delay means loss to everyone, from grower to retailer. Carry 

 Violets in stock every day from now on — show them — suggest them — 

 use them where the choice of flowers is left to your discretion. Give the 

 Violet a start— it means more business now and more business later. 



Remember— \7e are western headquarters lor tite best Ne\7 York double and 

 liome-8TO\7n sinsle Violets.

auditing committee. This committee 

 was directed, at the meeting of Septem- 

 ber 2, to have a heart-to-heart talk with 

 the delinquents, some of whom are sev- 

 eral years behind in their dues, mostly 

 through neglect. All those interviewed 

 promised to settle up. 



Under heading of miscellaneous busi- 

 ness it was suggested by Chas. Plumb 

 that the chair appoint two members, one 

 retail and one wholesale man, to debate 

 at some future time the question of 

 selling ferns and plants to the dry goods 

 and department stores. 



The death of George J. Evans, of 

 Flint, was ahnounced by Robert Ea- 

 haley. 



Chairman Browne announced a good 

 old-fashioned lunch for the next meet- 

 ing night. This was well received. 



Variotis Notes. 



September 17 and 18 were award 

 days in the public schools of this city. 

 Seeds distributed by the Twentieth Cen- 

 tury Club last spring and grown by the 



children were shown for competition in 

 many schools. The prizes included a 

 Boston fern, donated by the Detroit 

 Florists' Club. The judges were Chas. 

 Plumb, Walter Taepke, Albert Pochelon, 

 J. F. Sullivan, Jerome K. Stock and 

 Hugo Schroeter. 



W. B. Brown had quite an elaborate 

 church and house decoration Septem- 

 ber 22. 



The Detroit Cut Flower Supply 

 House will be better- able to meet the 

 demand for carnations this winter, as 

 it will be getting daily shipments from 

 its Pontiac place, 



B. Schroeter has some well grown 

 Whitmani ferns and reports a good sale 

 of the same. 



Sullivan's are cutting some fine Kil- 

 larney roses. 



Wm. Hielscher reports receiving some 

 good orders from out of town.

The Eeview will send Scott's Manual 

 post paid for $5.00.

The Market. 



Trade continues good, despite the heat 

 and drought. Good flowers are in fair 

 supply. Second grades and culls are 

 abundant. The biggest glut has been in 

 roses and some cheap outdoor stock. 

 Good asters are scarce. The market is 

 well supplied with the poorer grades.. 

 Good sweet peas are still being mar- 

 keted. 



Carnations are improving in quality 

 each day, with the supply about equal to 

 the demand. A few early mums have 

 sold well, though there will be no par- 

 ticular demand for them until there is.

The Florists' Qub.
