is of the Dayton Paper Novelty Co. He 

 and Miss A. Riedy were marriediat San- 

 dusky, O., October 23- 



Mrs. Hugo Schroeter has been made 

 the recipient of many pretty presents 

 since the arrival of her little son. Among 

 the most dainty of these was a wee little 



buggy filled with a small formal bouquet 

 of rosebuds and swainsona, a gift from 

 Mr. and Mrs. A. Pochelon and family. 



E. C. Fetters is again embarking in 

 the florists' business. He expects to open 

 up his new place at 114 Farmer street 

 about November 10. The location is a 



good one and the interior finish of Mr. 

 Fetters' new store will Be green walls, 

 pale yellow ceiling and possibly white 

 woodwork. The fixtures will be of the 

 latest design, for the furniture is being 

 made to order and will be in a silver 

 gray. 



Miss Isabella Carey, oldest daughter of 

 John Carey, of Mount Clemens, died Sun- 

 day, October 25, at her home. Mr. and 

 Mrs. Carey have the sympathy of his 

 brother florists in their bereavement. 



Schroeter's had two large wedding 

 decorations last week, both calling for 

 considerable stock. 



November 3 practically every florist in 

 Detroit will cast a ballot for Philip Breit- 

 meyer for mayor. Some of the trade 

 have voted one ticket and some another 

 in former years, but this year party rela- 

 tions will be ignored so far as the may- 

 oralty is concerned. Not only is Afcr. 

 Breitmeyer an able man, but being a 

 brother florist we owe it to ourselves to 

 elect him. The race will be a close one 

 and every vote will count. H. 8.

The Market 



While more flowers are being sold 

 than a week ago, arrivals continue to 

 increase and there is a big surplus each 

 day. Such slight improvement as there 

 is causes grains of comfort, for condi- 

 tions were about as bad as we have seen 

 them at this season of the year. Con- 

 tinued unseasonably warm weather, by 

 keeping flower buyers in the country 

 longer than usual, hurts business. There 

 is a hopeful feeling that matters may 

 mend with the election uncertainty re- 

 moved. Roses are superabundant, with 

 a poor demand. Beauties are extra fine 

 for the season and of Richmond some 

 really fine flowers are now seen. The 

 heat has somewhat affected the quality 

 of some roses, Brides and Maids more 

 especially. Carnations continue to pile 

 up and, with no change in prices, there 

 are many unsold. 



Chrysanthemums of the midseason 

 sorts are now in evidence, even some of 

 the later sorts, like Bonnaffon, being on 

 hand. The season is likely to prove th© 

 reverse of profitable, except for those
