The Weekly Florists* Review. 



JUNE 2, 1898. 



GRAND RAPIDS, MICH. 



Notes. 



Wencil Cukerski, formerly plain city 

 florist, has recently received a remark- 

 able recognition of merit and ability 

 at the hands of politics. The com- 

 plexion of the council changed and it 

 looked as if the city florist would hi 

 succeeded by a politician, but the un- 

 expected happened, and although there 

 were political aspirants for the place, 

 politics were removed from the ques- 

 tion and Wencil was elected superin- 

 tendent of parks. 



Recent visitors were a representative 

 of Henry A. Dreer, of Philadelphia, 

 and of John C. Moninger Co., of Chi- 

 cago. 



N. B. Stover, of Grandville. reports 

 he has 5,000 carnations in the field, 

 and all doing well. 



Floiist Club. 



The Florist Club held a meeting 

 Tuesday evening. May 17. A commit- 

 tee was instructed to draw up suitable 

 resolutions on the death of Burt Rod- 

 gers. 



The possibilities of giving a flower 

 iihow were freely discussed. A mum 

 show is entirely out of the question, 

 but a proposition to give a spring 

 flower show met with sufficient en- 

 couragement to secure the appoint- 

 ment of a committee, with that end in 

 view, composed of Henry Smith, Geo. 

 F. Crabb, Wm. Cunningham and N. B. 

 Stover. 



No one seemed to favor a picnic this 

 summer, not even a game of baseball. 

 It was suggested that the club visit 

 Chicago during the chrysanthemum 

 show, and that perhaps some of the 

 members of the Chicago club might 

 take compassion on the Grand Rapids 

 floric»4tural waifs and show them 

 around town and incidentally intro- 

 duce them to the Chicago elephant. 



The club voted itself a summer vaca- 

 tion, and no meetings will be held un- 

 til the second Tuesday in October. 



GEO. F. CRABB. 



HANOVER, PA.— Trade has been 

 very good this spring in bedding stock 

 and two-year-old roses. There has 

 also been a good demand for funeral 

 work. 



BATH, ME.— The Kennebec Nursery 

 Co. possess in addition to an extensive 

 nursery, under the able care of Mr. 

 Davison, a range of commodious 

 houses devoted to plants and cutflow- 

 ers. These are in charge of P. J. Olm, 

 a most successful grower. In addition 

 to a fine collection of stove plants, 

 roses and carnations are well grown. 

 Anna Webb is one of the best crim- 

 sons; Garfield, scarlet; C. A. Dana, 

 pink; Nicholson is full of promise; 

 Flora Hill has no signs of the weak 

 neck, which objection may he lost 

 sight of in the immense blooms; Mc- 

 Gowan is the old reliable white.
