The regular meeting of the Saginaw- Bay City Floricultural Society was held December 4, at the store of E. L. Leidy, in Bay City. The exhibition of roses at this meeting was most interesting. Exhibits were made by Boehringer Bros., E. L. Leidy, John Marsh and Martin Keit, of Bay City; Grohman the Florist, Wm. Eoethke Floral Co., Chas. Frueh & Sons and J. B. Goetz Sons, of Saginaw.
