In front of the Chy Halt^ Detroit. N, F. McCarthy and family antici- pate spending the month of August at Bar Harbor. P, DETROIT. The meeting of the Detroit Florists' Club last week was, as usual, an "over- flow" gathering, all the chairs being occupied, and much interest was shown in the completion of the con- vention arrangements. It is remark- able to note the good will and unanim- ity of these meetings and the harmony that prevails, Vice-President Rack- ham presided in the absence of Presi- dent Breitmeyer, who was away on his eastern trip. Elaborate arch and electric decora- tions were decided upon and all the money a committee needs for its work can be had for the asking. There will be no limit to the enjoy- ment of this Detroit convention for its visitors, and you will realize the mean- ing of true western openhandedness! Dr. Smith, an honorary member of the club, gave some very interesting remarks on Old Mexico and its flora and has promised the club a lecture on his experiences. He is a ready and eloquent speaker. After the meeting the irrepressible bowlers indulged in practice, and with a liberal supply of nerve stimulant they will surely give a good account of themselves. Phil says they will "cer- tainly take flrfit place," but he was not accountable for what he said, as he was returning from his vacation when he said It and full of eastern enthusi- asm! Brother Killen drifted into Detroit last week on the crest of the C. E. wave, looking brown and happy from his western trip. Mrs. Killen is enjoy- ing a few weeks' vacation at one of Michigan's beautiful summer resorts. Mr. Killen lives just across the river at the pretty little Canadian village of Windsor, so he is in luck at this con- vention, as he can be home every night (early). He contemplates mak- ing an exhibit. The Boston florists, so proud of the antiquity of everything east, must not fail to see the big elm on Sullivan's place as they go to Mt. Clemens for their sulphur baths! This elm is larger and more beautiful than the one that Boston Common prided itself upon, and by the sizei of it I think a little older. It certainly is a beauti- ful tree and Sullivan is worthily proud of it. I am indebted to the genial super- intendent of parks and boulevards, Mr. L. I. Coryell, for a delightful trip over the boulevard system and a view of the wonderful advancement made un- der his supervision in the condition of the splendid drives and twenty-eight parks therewith connected, that are destined to make Detroit more and more as the years roll on worthy of its reputation as the most beautiful city in America. Mr. Coryell's plans when completed will leave little to be desired by the Detroit people in the line of ornament- al horticulture. Nature and art are happily blended in all the work that is being done, and when the system is complete, as it promises soon to be, no more perfect driveways and beautiful parks can be found in any city of its size in America. I sincerely trust that in the carriage drives planned for the conventionists the boulevards may not be forgotten.
