than potted plants; everything sold 

 splendidly." Mrs. W. H. Jones: "Sup- 

 ply scarce, not equal to the demand; 

 great call for carnations; cut flowers 

 sold first class." D. Mcintosh: "Sold 

 everything in sight; carnations scarce; 

 roses in no way equal to the demand." 

 Adam Shand was well satisfied with 

 his first Easter in the commercial line; 

 roses and carnations not equal to the 

 demand ; lilies commanded any price. 



Several florists, outsiders, engaged 

 stores just for the Easter trade in cut 

 flowers and potted plants, but results 

 were any way but satisfactory. 



Superintendent Knott, of the Public 

 Gardens, who has been laid up with 

 the grippe, is again able to be around.

GRAND RAPIDS. 



Carnations are plentiful, except 

 •whites; roses also are in excess of the 

 demand. All have plenty of lilies, 

 bulb stock is about over, except pot 

 hyacinths, which are being peddled 

 about the streets on push carts and 

 ■wagons. 



Prices remain as last quoted. Two 

 dry goods stores at their opening had 

 a hardy rose sale to attract customers, 

 hardy dormant roses in variety being 

 offered at 10 cents each, three for 25 

 cents. 



Eli Cross, for six years foreman for 

 Crabb & Hunter, will hereafter be lo- 

 cated at lis Ashland avenue, this city. 

 He will grow violets. His stock was 

 given him by his employers, as an 

 earnest of their good will and wishes 

 for his success. He will be succeeded 

 by B. B. Pohlman, formerly a foreman 

 at Bassett & Washburn's. 



A. L. Vaughan was a recent visitor.

STEEL FLOWER POTS. 



Steel flower pots are a novelty in- 

 troduced by an English firm. The 

 larger sizes, such as 15-inch, are said 

 to be only 25 per cent as heavy as 

 clay ones of same size and cost but 

 one-fourth as much. Breakage is of 

 course impossible and the largest sizes 

 are provided with removable handles. 

 They are specially recommended for 

 large pot shrubs, are used as perma- 

 nent decorations around hotels, etc., 

 as parasitic growth will not attach it- 

 self to the steel and evaporation is less 

 rapid than with clay pots.
