AVhat was sdiiie ten nr twelve years ayo 

 liut a little pleasure trip to tiie city of 

 llorists and baflis by a lew Detroit llo- 

 risls has now become a regular annual 

 outing, in wiiieli no less tliau seventy-five 

 jier cent of tlie Detroit club members 

 liaiticipatc. This year tiie club paid ail 

 I'Xpensi'S. A special touiist car was cliar- 

 tereil lor Thursday, November 5. Fifty- 

 lour Horists and friends left Detroit. 

 May<ir-eieet Philip Breitmeyer accom- 

 panied tlie j)arty. 



.). F. SullivaiTs place is not in ]Mount 

 Clemens, hut tiiis was the first stop. The 

 stock ail lookei! gotid. 



'J'liC second stop was at the small but 

 nicely kejjt plant of Ijeopold Mallest. 

 Mr. Mallest (lrsei\es considerable credit. 

 \Vith practically notiiiiig to start witli, he 

 has built up a nice business in a few 

 years and iiis carnations are second to 

 none. Willi Ills \i<iiets he lias not been 

 as successful this year as in former years, 

 but they coidd lie much worse. 



Arrived at l^reilnieyer's, the \isitors 

 were taken \o tiie large shipiiing depart- 

 ment. Here were plates iieaped with 

 real Ciermaii sauerkraut, red-hot frank- 

 furters, saiidwieiu's, ]iiekles and plenty 

 to wasli it down with. After we had 

 satisfied our interiors, I'residenl Hrowii 

 announced that we had about one hour 

 in which to lodk ovor tlie iiiiiiiense ])lant. 

 ]ireitmeycr"s stock is better than it has 

 ever tjeen bid'ore. A Jiew jiassageway is 

 being Imilt along the west end of the 

 new range of houses, jiartiy to protc^ct a 

 ;j inch U-ii\ pipe recently installed. 



Robert Klagge recei\('d us with open 

 arms. His is ;i iiickIcI ]ilaiit in moilel 

 condition. The Detroit city boiler in- 

 spectors who accompanieil the florists 

 com|diineiitt'd Ii'<d)ert on his \\cli equipped 

 hc;iting plain. 



.1. .). Slc\fiis" range of jioiises is but a 

 stoiio"s tliiow from Mr. Klagge's. Mr. 

 Stevens is a liriii bclic\rr in doing Ijut 

 one thing ami doing that well. That 

 thing in his case happens to be carna- 

 tions. 



I'^rom Stevens" to .TaiiU'S Taylor's is 

 (|uite a long walk and A\ere it not for tlu; 

 good h.ot coffee which Mrs. Taylor had 

 prejiared I am afraid some of the Iniys 

 would siill be suffering from flie chills, 

 for the wind was pretty cold. Some fine 

 chiysanthemums were seen here. Mr. 

 Taylor heats iiis liouses with hot water 

 with a forced circulation. He gave a 

 demonstration of its workings. 



Tlie 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 ehrysan- 

 tliemunis at Carey's were good, but it was 

 the roses that I'cceived most of the com- 

 ment. 



'flie car was in waiting at Tarey's and 

 from here we went to August Von Boe- 

 sidagcr's, where the trip was brouglit to a 

 \cry interesting end. Tlie ceiling in the 

 largo jiotting shi'd was partly covered 

 Avith white cloth and under this was 

 spread a long table. On one side of the 

 table was a row of plates Avith 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 cat 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 

 Boiler Inspector J. C. McCabe. II. S.
