DETROIT. 



Breitmeyer 's recently had their an- 

 nual chrysanthemum show. They showed 

 many vases of fancy varieties, all of 

 them their own growing. The main fea- 

 ture of the show was their table deco- 

 ration, which was changed daily. This 

 attracted much attention. The table was 

 in the large show window on the Broad- 

 way side and drew many people. The 

 designs on the table were the work of 

 the young ladies in the store and were 

 quite unique. H. S.

The dark, yet mild weather of the last 

 week kept the market well supplied in all 

 lines. Local business with most of the 

 retailers was rather slow; consequently 

 the prices varied at different times. For 

 the first time carnations were plentiful. 

 There were also plenty of roses. In 

 mums only a few odd lots of the later 

 sorts come in and they do not cut much 

 figure; they again are a thing of the 

 past. Violets are good and are cleaned 

 up readily. Plenty of stevia can be had, 

 and also some Romans and Paper Whites. 



Sunday afternoon, December 5, the 

 mild weather was pushed to one side by 

 a cold wave, when the thermometer took 

 a drop of 40 degrees. This was accom- 

 panied by a strong west wind, blowing 

 at the rate of forty miles an hour.

attendance, but also in what was accom- 

 plished. It was the best attended meet- 

 ing of the year 1909. Cards announcing 

 the election of officers, the flower show, 

 the executive committee's report and re- 

 freshments no doubt helped to bring the 

 boys around. Everyone present seemed 

 highly pleased with the report, even if 

 it did not show a financial gain, and with 

 the grand success which was achieved by 

 the committee in charge. A resolution 

 was adopted providing that a flower show 

 be held next year, if a guarantee fund 

 half as large as the one secured this 

 year could be raised. 



C. B. Whitnall, an honorary member 

 of the club, was present and President 

 Dallwig called on him for a few remarks. 

 He tried to explain in brief, for it was 

 getting late, the benefits of the proposed 

 civic center which is commanding the 

 interest at present of the Metropolitan 

 Park Commission, of which he is a mem- 

 ber. His remarks were highly interest- 

 ing and instructive. 



After the meeting the boys sat down 

 to a venison lunch furnished by C C. 



Pollworth and put up in a most appe- 

 tizing way by Mrs. Pollworth. They dis- 

 persed at 12:30, saying that that was the 

 finest venison lunch they ever partook of. 



The following officers were elected for 

 the ensuing year: President, Nic 

 Zweifel; .vice-president, Alex. Klockner; 

 treasurer, J. G. Heitman; secretary, 

 Eugene Oestreicher; trustee for three 

 years. Art. Leidiger; trustee for one 

 year, to fill unexpired term of Mr. 

 Zweifel, Gust Pohl. 



Variotu Notes. 



The C. Ci Pollworth Co. expected its 

 first car of holly the first part of this 

 week. Mr. Pollworth, who has just re- 

 turned from the northern woods, says 

 that he thinks bouquet green will be a 

 scarce article for the hoUdays, as there 

 is too much snow up there. They are cut- 

 ting large quantities of fine carnations 

 at their greenhouses. 



J. M. Fox & Son have the decoration 

 for the annual charity ball, to be held at 

 the Auditorium December 7, for the bene-
