The Weekly Florists^ Review. 



August 12, 1900. 



Are You Going To Ciodonati? 



Don!t know whether you can get away? Why, of course you can — you worked just 

 as hard as you could early and late all winter and spring, you deserve a holiday if any- 

 body does. You will meet some pleasant people, get some new ideas and get a good 

 rest, so that you can do better work when you get home again. Now that's settled. We 

 depend on seeing you at Cincinnati next week. When you get there, just as soon as you 

 engage your room and leave your grip come to the Exhibition Hall and see 



OUR MAGNIFICENT DISPLAY 



of Novelties and Standard Florists' Supplies. We believe that the coming season will be 

 the best in the history of the florists' business in America and we intend to show our 

 confidence by making this exhibit of 



The Florists' Supply House of America 



stand without a rival, the greatest in the history of florists' supplies. We will show you 



everything you want to see, we will tell you everything you want to know, we will give 



you a souvenir with a glad hand. /^ ,. „ 



Cordially yours,

DETROIT. 



The Market. 



Business was so good Monday morning 

 that some of the florists could not get 

 away to join the jolly excursionists. Still, 

 there were no complaints heard on that 

 score. The only complaints are about 

 the scarcity of good stock. Everything 

 good is scarce. 



Annual Outing, 



The Detroit Florists' Club's annual 

 outing to Bois Blanc was a grand suc- 

 cess. When the party embarked from 

 Detroit the weather was threatening, but 

 it turned out to be an ideal day, at least 

 for the florists, for they do not mind 90 

 degrees in the shade. In some instances 

 the whole family turned out, all having 

 a splendid time. 



Some of the winners of first prizes 

 were: Myron Bloy, Beno Pautke, Olive 

 Fry, Hugh Watson, Fred Pautke, Miss 

 Watson, L. Beard, G. Vargo and Tracy 

 Miller. 



The tug of war was won by Captain 

 Watson's team. 



Of course the most exciting event of 

 the day was the ball game, which was 

 won by Louis Charvat's team, the final 

 score being 15 to 14. Kobert Kahaley 

 captained the losing side, and, were it 

 not for his catching, the score might have 

 been less even. 



Vaiiotts Notes.

 turned last week from a three weeks'

the extreme west were visited. Mr. Kack- 

 hajn now has charge of the grounds con- 

 nected with Detroit's public schools. 



W. B. Brown is putting on a fine coat 

 of tan. Mr. Brown has purchased some 

 land near Birmingham, Mich. 



Several weeks on the lakes have given 

 Wm. Hielscher quite a rosy color. He 

 says he made a wish at the wishing well 

 in Mackinac, which he hopes will come 

 true. 



The Simonds Heating & Specialty Co. 

 is now located at 104 Washington avenue. 

 This is just across the way from their 

 former place. 



The show window of E. A. Fetters 

 has been attractive all summer, with its 

 tastefully arranged baskets and vases of 

 flowers. 



Miss Gentlemen gave up her position 

 with E. A. Fetters and is now spending 

 a few weeks in her home in Canada. 

 From there she will travel to California, 

 perhaps never to return to Detroit, where 

 she is well known. There is a rumor 

 that she is to be married, but this she 

 positively denies. H. S.

ST. LOUIS. 



The Market. 



There is not much to say for the mar- 

 ket of last week. It was dull, and all 

 the wholesalers had plenty of stock of 

 everything in season. The hot weather 

 had a telling effect on the quality of the 

 stock, and prices were down lower. Fancy 

 grade roses and carnations were limited 

 to a few hundred, but in other grades 

 they had them in thousand lots. 



Gladioli and tuberose stalks are com- 

 ing in heavily, with prices as low as 2 

 cents in hundred lots. Asters, too, are 

 coming into the market in large quanti- 

 ties; in fact, many more than the trade 

 can use up. Lilies, both auratum and 

 longiflorum, had a good demand. There 

 is some good lily of the valley in the 

 market, with rather slow demand. Plenty 

 of good, long smilax is to be had, as 

 well as asparagus and fancy ferns. 



Various Notes. 



Miss Newman and Miss Armstrong 

 left last week for a summer trip to 

 Green Mountain, Colo. They will return 

 the first week in September.
