MT. CLEMENS, MICH. 



What was some ten or twelve years ago 

 but a little pleasure trip to the city of 

 florists and baths by a few Detroit flo- 

 rists has now become a regular annual 

 outing, in which no less than seventy-five 

 per cent of the Detroit club members 

 participate. This year the club paid all 

 expenses. A special tourist car was char- 

 tered for Thursday, November 5. Fifty- 

 four florists and friends left Detroit. 

 Mayor-elect Philip Breitmeyer accom- 

 panied the party. 



J. F. Sullivan's place is not in Mount 

 Clemens, but this was the first stop. The 

 Btock all looked good. 



The second stop was at the small but 

 nicely kept plant of Leopold Mallest. 

 Mr. Mallest deserves considerable credit. 

 "With practically nothing to start with, he 

 has built up a nice business in a few 

 years and his carnations are second to 

 none. With his violets he has not been 

 as successful this year as in former years, 

 but they could be much worse. 



Arrived at Breitmeyer's, the visitors 

 were taken to the large shipping depart- 

 ment. Here were plates heaped with 

 real German sauerkraut, red-hot frank- 

 furters, sandwiches, pickles and plenty 

 to wash it down with. After we had 

 satisfied our interiors, President Brown 

 announced that we had about one hour 

 in which to look over the immense plant. 

 Breitmeyer's stock is better than it has 

 ever been before. A new passageway is 

 being built along the west end of the 

 new range of houses, partly to protect a 

 5-inch feed pipe recently installed. 



Robert Klagge received us with open 

 arms. His is a model plant in model 

 condition. The Detroit city boiler in- 

 spectors who accompanied the florists 

 complimented Robert on his well equipped 

 heating plant. 



A. J. Stevens' range of houses is but a 

 stone's throw from Mr. Klagge's. Mr. 

 Stevens is a firm believer in doing but 

 one thing and doing that well. That, 

 thing in his case happens to be carna- 

 tions. 



From Stevens' to James Taylor's is 

 quite a long walk and were it not for the 

 good hot coffee which Mrs. Taylor had 

 prepared I am afraid some of the boys 

 would still be suffering from the chills, 

 for the wind was pretty cold. Some fine 

 clirysanthemums were seen here. Mr. 

 Taylor heats his houses with hot water 

 with a foveed circulation. He gave a 

 demonstration of its workings. 



The next stop was at Carey's. Here 

 another long table was spread with all 

 sorts of eatables and of course every one

was hungry. The carnations and chrysan- 

 themums at Carey's were good, but it was 

 the roses that received most of the com- 

 ment. 



The car was in waiting at Carey's and 

 from here we went to August Von Boe- 

 selager's, where the trip was brought to a 

 very interesting end. The ceiling in the 

 large potting shed was partly covered 

 with white cloth and under this was 

 spread a long table. On one side of the 

 table was a row of plates with the pic- 

 ture of the defeated candidate for presi- 

 dent upon it and at the other the smiling 

 countenance of President-elect Taft. The 

 boys were asked to pick out their fa- 

 vorite side and eat to their heart's con- 

 tent. Speeches were now in order and 

 many of the florists responded, among 

 them Wm, Breitmeyer, Jerome K. Stock, 

 President Brown, Mr. Miesel and City
