last year, both local and out-of-town 

 orders being on the increase. 



The firm of Zech & Mann was well 

 represented at the opening of the Cook 

 County Florists' Association bowling 

 schedule. Besides John Zech, the head 

 of the firm, who rolled with the Or- 

 chids, AUie Zech, his son, was in the 

 line-np of the Carnations, and VUter, 

 from the shipping department, waa 

 bowling with the Roses. 



Charles Erne, of Erne & Klingel, says 

 it was fortunate that his dahlia ship- 

 pers began shipping last week, as they 

 brought good returns in face of the 

 shortage of other stock around the 

 market. 



Frank Oechslin reports receiving 

 shipments of bulbs, for which his new 

 bulb house, 22 x 115, is about ready. 

 This house incorporates many novel im- 

 provements, such as the method of plac- 

 ing shelves, flooring, etc. A large force 

 is also at work on geraniums and other 

 bedding stock for the spring trade. 



P. L. McKee says the John C. Mon- 

 inger Co. never was so busy as now; 

 everybody wants his greenhouse mate- 

 rial at once. There already are in- 

 quiries for next season. 



Bernard J. Schmierer, for some time 

 with the Geo. Wittbold Co., resigned 

 September 1 and is organizing the 

 North Shore Floral Co., intending to 

 open within a few days at 6566 Sheri- 

 dan road. 



W. M. Bomberger, of Harlan, la., 

 has a daughter, Miss Ada Bomberger, 

 a graduate of the Art Institute, who 

 is an artist in one of the large Chicago 

 engraving establishments.

 genuine article. Do not accept substitutes.

DETBOIT. 



The Market. 



Business is slowly but surely becom- 

 ing more lively as the winter season 

 advances. The fall openings, which are 

 now a regular feature at all the dry 

 goods stores, are creating quite a de- 

 mand for stock, and those florists hav- 

 ing a large stock of palms of suitable 

 size find this the harvest time. Stock 



is quite scarce and, were it not for the 

 number of good roses available, it would 

 be a hard problem to fill orders. Those 

 people seeking a variety of flowers are 

 dooiped to disappointment. Asters are 

 nearly done for and carnations are by 

 no means anything to brag of as yet. 



Various Notes. 



J. L. Hudson's mammoth store was 

 decorated for the fall or harvest open- 

 ing by Breitmeyer 's, who have done the 

 work for this firm for many years. In- 

 stead of using the conventional palms 

 and ferns, some unusual decorative 

 scheme is always worked out. 



The members of the Detroit Florists' 

 Club were the invited guests of the 

 Toledo Florists' Club, September 25. 

 Among the fiorists who took advantage 

 of this enjoyable trip were: J. K. 

 Stock, Qus H. Taepke, Theo. Damerow, 

 George E. Browne, Robert Watson,
