State of Trade. 



Like the boy's apple, "there aiu't 

 no core" to it. Occasional funeral re- 

 quirements call for white flowers, 

 which are hard to find of a quality to 

 fit them for high grade uses. Carna- 

 tions are becoming very scarce. Roses 

 — Kaiserins, Perles and Cochets — are to 

 be had, but under the sweltering sum- 

 mer heat of the past two weeks are 

 poor in quality and hard to keep in 

 any sort of condition. The White 

 Cochet. whether due to the excessively 

 high temperature or to drought, on ac- 

 count of the reddish outer petals, is 

 this year not the useful rose that was 

 predicted. The Golden Gate is prov- 

 ing itself almost as valuable as any 

 of its compeers as a summer rose. 

 It holds up well, keeps form and color, 

 and, save for its deficient foliage, is 

 adapted for any uses. Sweet peas are 

 deficient, the green aphis, which in- 

 fests our edible sorts, having fixed 

 its attention now on this class, and 

 many plantings are utter failures. 



Greater animation exists as the 

 florists' convention in New York 

 comes nearer, and there seems a 

 probability that at least a presentable 

 delegation from Baltimore will put in 

 an appearance, and that no longer will 

 the sole representative of Maryland, 

 as for several years past, be our good 

 friend Richard Vincent. The prox- 

 imity of the meeting, its attractions 

 and the good results to be expected 

 from participation in its proceedings, 

 ought to secure the attendance of 

 many of the trade. It is said to-day 

 (July 30) that about a dozen are 

 booked to attend from this vicinity. 



Pefsonal Notes. 



Edwin A. Seidewitz has achieved 

 his purpose, chronicled some months 

 ago in this correspondence, of securing 

 a suitable place tor his growing busi- 

 ness requirements, in our suburbs, near 

 Arlington. He has just bought there 



some eighteen acres of land, which 

 will be devoted to greenhouse and nur- 

 sery products. 



Theodore Eckhardt, whose return 

 to this region wa.s duly noted, has en- 

 gaged with Mr. Seidewitz, and It is 

 understood will have charge of his 

 improvements and of the new estab- 

 lishment. This will include not only 

 greenhouses, but a nursery of orna- 

 mentals and plantations of herbace- 

 ous plants, and the scope of the 

 operations will hereafter cover land- 

 scape decoration and improvement. 

 In this work Mr. Eckhardt has skill, 

 taste and long experience, and his 

 sojourns abroad in Germany, Austria 

 and Italy may be expected to give 

 breadth and variety to his manage- 

 ment of the proljlems awaiting treat- 

 ment. He is the possessor of agree- 

 able manners, a good plantsman, and 

 a thorough, all-around gardener. 



The dissolution of the firm of 

 Fischer & Ekas has become a fact ac- 

 complished. The old place is retained 

 by Mr. Fischer, and Mr. Ekas will en- 

 gage in his calling elsewhere, his 

 choice of several opportunities pre- 

 senting' themselves not having yet 

 been made. 



James Simpson, a well known mem- 

 ber of the fraternity, was tumbled out 

 of his vehicle lately by the impact of 

 a trolley car. and badly shocked and 

 cut, his wagon broken and his horse 

 injured. He is recovering, but he has 

 not yet regained his usual good nat- 

 ture, nor re-established diplomatic re- 

 lations with the railway company, 

 whose servant, it is said, was wholly 

 at fault. REX. 



GRAND RAPIDS, MICH. 



There has been considerable funeral 

 work the past week, which cleaned 

 the market up so close that it was 

 impossible to buy flowers of any kind 

 for love or money. Carnations are 

 scarce and are liable to be for some 

 time, as the old plants are being 

 thrown out to get the houses ready 

 for replanting. For the same reason 

 roses are scarce, but several large 

 growers have early planted houses 

 that can come in now almost any 

 time. Carnations are looking good: 

 all have good average stock now, but 

 it remains for the Grand Rapids 

 Floral Co. to have the largest, best 

 field grown stock in town, and 'tis 

 a pity they have no more than enough 

 with which to do their own. planting, 

 as such plants are rarely seen this 

 early in the season. 



The convention does not seem to 

 make much of a stir. Two only, so 

 far, have declared their intentions. 

 Henry Smith and George P. Crabb, of 

 the firm of Crabb & Hunter, will join 

 the Chicago boys on their excursion 

 trip. 



G. F. Plowman of Iron Mountain 

 was a recent visitor. He reports bus- 

 iness all that could be desired the 

 past season. G. F. CRABB.
