IVERA. 



GRAND RAPIDS. 



Since Easter we have had bright 

 days, warm at noon, cold at night, and 

 to top the climax of erratic weather, 

 we were today treated to a hail storm, 

 ■which did more or less damage to the 

 various greenhouses about the town. 



We now want to meet the hail in- 

 surance man. White carnations are 

 scarce and the other colors none too 

 plentiful. Roses in good supply. Fu- 

 neral work and weddings are keeping 

 surplus stock very close. 



Club Meeting. 



The Florists' Club held a regular 

 meeting at Eagle Hotel, N. B. Stover 

 presiding. A supplementary report on 

 glass was read. The glass man oft'ered 

 8x20 D. A. glass at the factory at $3.28 

 per box, f. o. b. in car lots, which is 

 about 35 cents per box less than it can 

 be had for from the local dealer. 



Steam versus hot water heating was 

 warmly discussed. There is a tendency 

 of opinion that even for large plants hot 

 water under pressure may be the best 

 and cheapest method of heating. A local 

 florist has a steam boiler arranged for 

 hot water, which seems to work well : 1- 

 ineh pipes are used, and while they 

 appear small, they afford a complete 

 circulation and are more than satisfac- 

 tory, although it would be safer to use 

 li/i-inch instead. The resolution chang- 

 ing the regular night of meeting was 

 finally withdrawn, as it was hard to 

 suit all on any one night.
