Various Notes. « The Koethke Floral Co. has every- thing in good running order for the winter. The barn to take the place of the one lost by fire about four weeks ago is nearly finished. Charles Frueh & Sons say mums are selling as fast as they open. Business is extremely satisfactory in their new downtown location. Grohmann the Florist reports busi- ness as good as can be expected, with all short flowers worked up clean. Zorn & Gaertner had an unusually heavy run on asters this season and say they could have sold more if they had produced them. Desner & Fisher say business is fair and that everything looks good for a big trade this winter. At the state fair at Detroit the Stevens Gladioli Co., of Saginaw, took first premiums on display of gladioli and on display of dahlias. Many whole- sale and retail orders have been booked. The bulb harvest will be something over two millions. J. B. Goetz Sons are cutting a large supply of roses, which find ready sale in and about Saginaw. Boston ferns are a specialty here and they have sev- eral houses of them in fine shape. - Harry Balsley, of Detroit, was a visitor last week. The Saginaw-Bay City Floricultural Society holds its next monthly meeting October 6, at 4 p. m., at Zorn & Gaert- ner's. The subject of importance will be a paper on soils, by Wm. Robertson. A large attendance is expected. A lunch will be served. Gee. Devon, Pa.—At the Devon flower show, September 19, the m
