DETROIT. 



The Market 



Now that election is over, there is an 

 air of business on all sides. While no 

 notable change has taken place, still 

 everyone seems to have more confidence 

 and it is only a matter of time until 

 things will be humming again. Let us 

 hope for some more of the days as we 

 had them in 1906-7, when it was often 

 late in the night before all the orders 

 were out. 



There is plenty of good stock of all 

 kinds to be had at most reasonable prices. 

 There is also an abundance of asparagus 

 and smilax. 



Various Notes. 



A brother of Eobert Watson is a mem- 

 ber of the council in Detroit and at pres- 

 ent it looks as though he would be the 

 president of this body for the coming 

 year. 



Harry Pearce, of the Pontiac Floral 

 Co., has been in the Upper Peninsula on 

 a hunting expedition. 



It is rumored that August Von Boe- 

 selager is contemplating building some 

 more houses. 



Some of the old familiar faces were 

 missed at the recent outing to Mount 

 Clemens, Robert Flowerday, Frank Holz- 

 nagle, Ed Beard, and others. 



The only brother of Wm. Dilger died 

 last week in Chicago and was buried at 

 Sanduskv, O. This was probably the 

 reason Mr. Dilger was not with the boys 



iRst "wcck. 



Waldemar Maebius, of Pittsburg; 

 George Kimmons and Samuel Virgin, of 

 Pontiac; Mr. Boeringer, of Bay City, 

 and C. Winterich, of Defiance, O., 

 helped make up the party to Mount 

 Clemens recently. Mr. Boeringer is a 

 member of the Detroit club. 



Quite a party from Detroit left for 

 Chicago Sunday, November 8. Among 

 them were W. B. Brown, Walter Taepke 

 and Albert Pochelon. Fred Breitmeyer 

 left November 5. 



A neat invitation announced the open- 

 ing of the new flower shop of Edward A. 

 Fetters at 114 Farmer street. 



The last regular meeting of the Flo- 

 rists ' Club was held November 4. Quite a 

 large number were in attendance, to con- 

 gratulate the new mayor of Detroit. Dur- 

 ing the evening City Boiler Inspector J. 

 C. McCabe gave a talk on greenhouse 

 heating, which was very interesting. 

 After adjournment a lunch was served 

 by the entertainment committee. H. S.
