GRAND RAPIDS. 



We are experiencing great extremes 

 of temperature. For weelis the ttier- 

 mometer has been around 90 and 100 

 degrees, but now it gets as low as 35 

 and 40 degrees at night, with raw and 

 chilly days. Several showers have 

 been a boon to carnations in the field, 

 although some are badly troubled by 

 cut worms and hand picking has been 

 resorted to. Trade is quiet. The work 

 of filling baskets, boxes, vases, etc., is 

 being hurried as fast as possible. The 

 general run of stock is good, except 

 pansies, which have suffered severely 

 by the severity of the winter. One 

 large grower lost his entire crop. 



Carnations are selling from 20 to 50 

 cents per dozen, although the average 

 for good stock is 35 cents; Beauties, 

 $1.50 to $2 per dozen; other roses, 50 

 cents and $1; lilies, $1.50 per dozen. 

 Outdoor shrub flowers are nearly over; 

 they have had lots to do with the 

 quietness of trade, as some recent dec- 

 orations were made up largely from 

 flowers of trees and shrubs. 



Alfred Hanna was thrown from his 

 wagon, badly wrenching his shoulder 

 and cutting his face. The injuries, al- 

 though painful, are not serious. The 

 Florists' Club meet tonight to wrestle 

 with the uniform price list, as well as 

 several other Important topics.

Business in cut flowers is not too 

 brisk here now. The hot, dry weather 

 has quite an effect on the quality of 

 stuff, also its keeping. Bedding plants 

 won't commence to sell in any quan- 

 tity till the last week in May. Some 

 of the growers say there is so much 

 competition in plants now that there 

 is no profit in handling them at the 

 prices obtained. A. Wilshire is busy 

 moving his greenhouses to another 

 place. Campbell is about settled in 

 his new store. Bain has opened his 

 branch store. B. Graves is thinking 

 of giving up and going to California. 



Mrs. J. McKenna, the wife of one of 

 our most respected and active mem- 

 bers, died on May 11, after a short ill- 

 ness. "Jim" has the deepest sympa- 

 thy of all the members of the club. 

 The funeral was very largely attended 

 by his numerous friends, the club turn- 

 ing out in force. Floral tokens were 

 numerous and were sent by A. "Wil- 

 shire, C. Campbell, J. Bennett, J. S. 

 Murray, M. G. & F. Club and several 

 others. J. B.
