ber 9 to 13. He showed cyclamen, ferns 

 and Begonia Gloire de Lorraine. He 

 also exhibited for competition vases of 

 O. P. Bassett and White and Pink En- 

 chantress carnations. Mr. Ellis has only 

 been engaged in the florist business for 

 about six years. Previous to that time 

 he gn"ew vegetables. Most of his carna- 

 tions are consigned to the Michigan Cut 

 Flower Exchange, and are considered far 

 above the average. He, at present, has 

 about 13,000 square feet of glass, and 

 plans are under way for the erection of 

 three more houses, two of which will be 



30x100 and one will be 26x100. The 

 houses are after his own designing. 



Eussel Colquit, who met with a serious 

 accident while hunting Sunday, October 

 24, has lost one of his legs as a result. 

 The doctors were obliged to amputate it 

 in order to save his life. 



A large refrigerator with walls of 

 cement blocks attracted much notice at 

 Eobert Klagge's at Mount Qemens re- 

 cently. The roof is of zinc and tar paper 

 with 1-inch boards above to protect the 

 paper. 



A remark which the writer overheard 



on the car, en route to Mount Clemens 

 the day of our outing, was to the effect 

 that the emergency pipe clamp, placed 

 on the market by the Anderson Manufac- 

 turing Co., of this city, is a splendid 

 article, and should be on hand in every 

 greenhouse in case of a sudden leak. 



The death of A. W. Steincke has 

 caused a change in the firm name. Here- 

 after, what was formerly Steincke & 

 Sons will be known as the firm of John 

 Warncke. 



Monday evening, November 8, about 

 fifteen florists and their wives and sweet- 

 hearts were the guests of J. E. Smith, 

 at Wyandotte. The main feature of the 

 evening was a whitefish supper, served as 

 only Mr. Smith knows how. Everyone 

 enjoyed a fine time. 



The Bemb Floral Co. executed the 

 quite elaborate decorations for the wed- 

 ding of Miss Ida Schmidt, November 6. 

 The wedding took place in Grosse Pointe. 

 The ceremony was performed in front of 

 a pergola covered with southern smilax 

 and Asparagus plumosus. The table 

 decorations and mantel decorations con- 

 sisted of lavender orchids, valley and 

 violets most artistically arranged. 



John Breitmeyer's annual exhibition 

 of chrysanthemums and flowers was an- 

 nounced, by a neat little folder, for No-

Meriden, Conn. — Joseph A, Green- 

 backer, on the Old Colony road, has 

 added a greenhouse, 31x100, for carna- 

 tions. Adolph Greenbacker, the father 

 of the present proprietor, established 

 the business many years ago and its 

 growth has been steady and substantial.
