The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



Adqust B, 1000. 



DETROIT. 



The Market 



Business remains good. Were it not for 

 this fact some stock would be going to 

 -waste. As it is, there is enough to go 

 around. A number of weddings are 

 claiming the florists' attention, even 

 though it is midsummer. Asters are still 

 backward; the few good flowers arriv- 

 ing are soon picked up. Carnations are 

 about forgotten. Roses are small of 

 flower. 



Qub Meetin£. 



At the last meeting of the club, officers 

 for the ensuing year were elected. The 

 election was one of the most spirited 

 which has been held in years and resulted 

 in an entirely new set of men at the helm, 

 with the exception of the office of libra- 

 rian, to which Harry Pickworth was 

 again, elected. 



The new officers are: President, Chas. 

 Plumb, a charter member; vice-president, 

 George E. Brown, of Greenfield; secre- 

 tary, Hugo Schroeter; treasurer, Bobert 

 Eahaley. 



The retiring officers, W. B. Brown, Gus 

 H. Taepke and J. F. Sullivan, had served 

 most acceptably but declined to run 

 again. It was tlie willingness of other 

 members to sacrifice themselves for the 

 good of the cause that added zest to the 

 election. There were three or four can- 

 didates for every office. 



Members were earnestly urged to at- 

 tend the convention at Cincinnati, which, 

 it was explained, is to be the greatest 

 ever. 



The club meeting for August 16 was 

 called off on account of the S. A. F. 

 convention at Cincinnati that week. 



The annual outing of the club takes 

 place at Bois Blanc park August 9. Many 

 interesting athletic events have been ar- 

 ranged, with good prizes for the winners 

 of every event. 



Various Note*. 



Mr. and Mrs. Vesey, of Fort Wayne, 

 stopped off at Detroit last week en route 

 to northern Michigan, where several 

 weeks will be spent in fishing. 



The Ladies' S. A. F. will make its 

 headquarters at Hotel Sinton while in 

 Cincinnati. A reception will probably 

 be held sometime during the week. 



The Michigan Cut Flower Exchange 

 has fitted out a large room in which to 

 display its extensive line of baskets, 

 vases, cutlery, etc. The decorating wag 

 done by Albert Sylvester, one of their 

 men, and looks as though it were the 

 work of a professional. 



The Detroit delegation will leave for 

 Cincinnati August 16. H. S. 



Claverack, N. Y. — Peter W. Ham, 

 formerly of Hudson, N. Y., has moved 

 bis violet house to this place. 



Billings, Mont. — William Partington 

 a few weeks ago started the construction 

 of what he intends will eventually be 

 the largest greenhouse plant in eastern 

 Montana. The first structure is 35x140 

 feet, entirely of glass, supported by a 

 framework of steel, and is located at 

 Twenty-ninth street and Sixth avenue 

 north. Hot water heating from a cen- 

 tral heating plant across the street will 

 be used. Mr. Partington will construct 

 five other houses, on vacant lots around 

 the new plant, as soon as business justi- 

 fies it. He already has six large hot- 

 houses on his ranch near here, where 

 vegetables of all kinds are raised. 



Godfrey Aschmano, the Araocaria King 



Is More Active than Ever 



Four Houses Filled with the Best. With What? 

 Sure, with AR4UCARIAS, His Specialty 



Empty bouses! That won't do. What shall I 

 plant? What Is the most profitable? Listen to 

 what your ueiKhbor florist has to say. Mr. Mc- 

 binty to George Know Nothing: "I filled a rea- 

 Bonable portion of my greenhouses last year 

 with Godfrey Aschmann's Araucarias, and I tell 

 you straight out 1 was only sorry I did not buy 

 more. In two weeks, just when the demand was 

 the biggest, my stocli was nearly exhausted. 

 This year I shall be smarter. Last week my order 

 to Af'Chmann called for just double the amount. 

 I never can lose anything on such an investment 

 as that. Every dollar put in Araucarias yields 

 three to four times the value while we're asleep."
