The Weekly Florists' Review. 



OCTOBER 4. ItlOU. 



GRAND RAPIDS, MICH. 



The opening of fall trade is being 

 retarded by the present excessively 

 hot weather, business was better last 

 week, due mainly to cool, pleasant 

 weather. 



The buds have been kept oft the 

 roses, shortening the cut. but the qual- 

 ity of what is cut is good. 



Carnations are about equal to the de- 

 mand, they are coming on slowly, most 

 of them having been but recently 

 planted. Flora Hill maintains her po- 

 sition as the earliest and best white 

 against all comers; White Cloud ap- 

 parently is too late in coming into 

 bloom to seriously rival Flora, who is 

 the best early fall, spring and summer 

 bloomer, and doing tolerably well all 

 winter. White Cloud being best for 

 midwinter, having a better stem, but 

 it is a cropper. We will have to grow 

 both until displaced by a better. Eve- 

 lina is blooming finely, it is all right 

 from now on till the 1st of February, 

 when it is oft crop until warm weath- 

 er; it should be fired as soon as off. 

 New York shows up better this sea- 

 son than last, it is much in demand, 

 being brighter than Scott. Crane and 

 Estelle are the best red to date, al- 

 though Firefly is the best bloomer, but 

 the color is off. Mme. Chapman is 

 still the favorite pink with Day- 

 break. 



Mums are coming strongly into bud 

 and the local crop should be great. 

 Fitzwygram will be the earliest. What 

 a pity it has such scraggy looking fol- 

 iage. 



American Beauties are $1.50 per doz; 

 other roses, 75 cents to $1. Carna- 

 tions 25 cents per doz. Asters, of 

 which Smith and Cross both have a 

 few good ones, are 20 to 25 cents per 

 doz. 



The State Fair opens today. There 

 has been very little interest shown by 

 the florists this season, the premiums 

 offered were totally inadequate before, 

 hut to make a bad matter worse, the 

 management tried to cater to the am- 

 ateurs at the expense of the florists. 

 The few really good premiums offered 

 were cut out entire, and the amounts 

 put into an amateur premium list. 

 There is a florist in immediate charge 

 of this department and it does not re- 

 flect any to his credit to antagonize 

 the craft. James Schols. Wm. Cun- 

 ningham, Henry Smith and Crabb & 

 Hunter do not exhibit this year. The 

 latter have not missed making an ex- 

 hibit in 17 years until now.
