The Weekly Florists' Review^ 



SEPTEMBER 6, 1900. 



GRAND RAPIDS, MICH. 



Trade has been very quiet the past 

 njonth; except for occasional funeral 

 orders, everything has been at a stand- 

 still. Most of the carnations are plant- 

 ed and a few flowers are being picked 

 from new stock; the usual fault of 

 short stems is a temporary evil. Sweet 

 peas are about over. Asters are in 

 good supply, although some whole 

 crops have been completely ruined, 

 others have been lurtunate enough to 

 have not only a full yield but fine 

 flowers. There is a sufllciency of flow- 

 ers to supply the light demand. We 

 have been having all kinds of weather, 

 from hurricanes and cloudbursts to the 

 withering heat of the torrid zone. Car- 

 nations, asters and other stock plant- 

 ed on low ground have been ruined by 

 water. 



Recent visitors were: a representa- 

 tive of W. W. Barnard of Chicago, 

 and Mr. Cook of the Kalamazoo Nur- 

 sery & Floral Co., who are erecting a 

 range of glass for nursery and cut 

 flower purposes. 



With the rest of the returned con- 

 ventionites, I must admit having had 

 a glorious time at the S. A. F. con- 

 vention; the exhibition, the meetings, 

 the trip to Glen Island are incidents 

 graven on our memory, never to be 

 effaced. Those who stayed at home, 

 can never know what they missed. 

 Glen Island is a corner of Fairyland; 

 one of the most delightful spots in the 

 country and the clams delicious. 

 What impressed one at all times, was 

 the ease and promptness with which 

 every detail was conducted, no hitch 

 anywhere, the machinery was thor- 

 oughly oiled and worked to perfection 

 and too much praise cannot be given 

 the New York florists for the success 

 of the convention, particularly the ex- 

 hibition. As predicted, Buffalo won 

 out for 1901 and if they give us any- 

 thing like what New York has given 

 us by way of a convention, they will 

 Indeed cover themselves with glory.

Cooler weather prevails now and 

 trade has brightened up quite percep- 

 tibly. Funeral work still constitutes 

 the bulk of sales, but there is a fair 

 demand for loose flowers as well. 



Mr. Robert Brown, of Youngstown, 

 Ohio, has arrived here to take charge 

 of L. L. May & Co.'s greenhouses. Mr. 

 Souden has removed with his family 

 to Minneapolis. 



Callers for the week: S. F. Leonard, 

 Chicago; H. D. Byers, with the Day- 

 ton Paper Novelty Co.; W. F. Ellisson, 

 representing the Cook Pottery Co., 

 Trenton, N. J. 



M. Bartholomew has purchased the 

 greenhouses formerly owned by F. G. 

 Gould, Excelsior, and later run by Mr. 

 Brackett. X. Y. Z.
