 ■-I^SSSrr" CHICAGO, ILL. 



Do not be misled by unreliable reports stating: that the 



My Maryland 



are only seen with short stems. We have them with stems 24 inches, 30 inches to 36 inches long. 

 We find only a very few short stems in the thousand to fifteen hundred we are cutting daily. 



We challenge any wholesale house in Chicago to produce and exhibit, quality or quantity in 



KILLARNEY 



with us, now or at any time. We have the goods, the other fellow the wind. We are cutting 

 thousands a day with stems 24, 30 to 36 inches long; shorter lengths in large quantity.

mums are also coming along nicely. The 

 Skinner system of watering was here seen 

 in operation. Both in the houses and in 

 the field the system has proven most sat- 

 isfactory. 



Various Notes. 



The infant daughter of H. V. Pierce 

 died last week. The child was but a few 

 months old, and being delicate from the 

 start, had but little chance to survive 

 the hot summer weather. 



P. Becker, of Hupprich's, spent sev- 

 eral days at Fair Haven fishing last 

 week, leaving those Red Standard pots 

 to shift for themselves. 



W. B. Brown has a very "classy" de- 

 livery rig, and was awarded a premium 

 **m^® horse show during state fair week. 



The annual judging of the school chil- 

 dren's exhibit was scheduled for Septem- 



ber 14 and 15. The judges were J. P. 

 Sullivan, M. Bloy, Albert Pochelon, H. 

 Knope and Hugo Schroeter. 



Painters have been busy in and outside 

 at Schroeter 's. 



These are strenuous days for the base- 

 ball fans, and many places are vacant in 

 the greenhouses and stores while their 

 occupants are cheering the Tigers to vic- 

 tory. 



The annual fair of the M. A. S. was a 

 grand success in every way, except the 

 florists' way. Thousands of strangers 

 were in the city, but little of their 

 change was left with the florists to help 

 with this winter's coal bill. Neither were 

 the exhibits by professionals much to 

 talk about. Frank Holznagle received 

 first premium on a large wreath; outside 

 of this there was little in our line ex- 



cepting flowers by some amateurs. Not 

 many years ago many of Detroit's lead- 

 ing florists had exhibits at the fair, but, 

 owing to various reasons, these have 

 dwindled down so that this year the man- 

 agement had to rent probably fifty palms 

 to fill up space. 



The Bemb Floral Co. has been busy all 

 the week with two fair-sized wedding 

 jobs. Albert Pochelon just enjoys this 

 kind of work, and does about everything 

 but tie the knot and kiss the bride. 



S. S. Skidelsky passed the better part 

 of one week in Detroit and found busi- 

 ness entirely to his liking. H. 8. 



Reno, Nev. — Fred J. Fischer will open 

 a store in connection with his green- 

 houses on "Washoe street. He recently 

 made a business trip to California.
