DETROIT. 



The Market 



Stock of all sorts is entirely too plenti- 

 ful for the good of the growers. Several 

 busy spells have crept in, brought on by 

 funeral work; otherwise things have been 

 dull. 



There was a good demand for flowers 

 July 9 and 10, to be used in trimming 

 autos for the big parade. Many peonies, 

 carnations, daisies, ramblers, etc., were 

 used. 



Various Notes. 



John Warncke met with an accident 

 last week while cranking his automobile. 

 Hia left arm was broken. Still he was 

 "game," and entered Steincke's car in 

 the auto parade, prettily decorated. At- 

 tached to the rear of the car was what 

 they call their trailer, being a small plat- 

 form on auto wheels. This was also 

 decorated with plants and flowers, and 

 on it was a miniature auto, in which sat 

 two boys. 



Some of the florists had to work over- 

 time July 9, trimming autos. 



Saturday, July 10, was the day set for 

 the big automobile parade held in con- 

 nection with the Glidden Tour days, July 

 10 to 12. It was estimated that about 

 1,100 cars were in line, many of them 

 being elaborately decorated. The Bemb 

 Floral Co. did some of the work on two 

 of the prize winners. 



A Detroit electric car, decorated by B. 

 Schroeter, also won a prize in the above 

 event. Mr. Schroeter was the only florist 

 who took an active part in the parade. 

 Not being the possessor of an auto, he 

 was furnished one by the Cadillac people. 

 The car was one of the touring type. On 

 the back was mounted a large canopy, 

 entirely covered with wistaria; the bal- 

 ance of the machine was also trimmed 

 with this pretty flower, made of paper, 

 of course. On the bonnet of the engine 

 was mounted a large eagle. Eibbons, 

 etc., were so used as to produce quite a 

 pretty effect. In fact, it was later an- 

 nounced that had not Mr. Schroeter dis- 

 played his name on two small silk ban- 

 ners, he would have been given the first 

 prize. H. S. 



, Augusta, Ga.— The Georgia State 

 Horticultural Society has issued, from 

 its headquarters in this city, an an- 

 nouncement of its thirty-third annual 

 meeting and exhibition, with a list of the 

 papers to be read. The meeting will 

 be held August 4 and 5, in the audi- 

 torium of the Hotel Georgian, at Athens, 

 Ga. P. J. Berckmans, of this city, has 

 for many years been president of the

 treasurer. J. B. Wright, of Cairo, Ga.,

Bogonia Gloire de Lorraine ^*this*s^SritSK*pb£t.'*" 



This is decidedly one of the most beautiful and profitable plants introduced in many years. It attains a height 

 of 16 to 18 inches, bears pea green foliage and is fau-ly smothered with a profusion of soft pink flowers. It is 

 naturally of a compact, bushy form, and blossoms continuously from October to April, making an ideal plant for 

 Christmas decoration. No establishment, large or small, is complete without this begonia.
