The Weekly Florists^ Review^ 



AUGUST 4, 1S9S. 



GRAND RAPIDS, MICH, 



Trade dull, flowers scarce, orders de- 

 pressed, grasshoppers a glut, cannot 

 dispose of them at any price and a se- 

 vere drought on hand that would do 

 credit to the desert of Sahara, are the 

 conditions at present. 



Greenhouse Changes. 



Henry Smith has built a new violet 

 house 170x10 and has commenced h 

 carnation house 250x26. He has torn 

 down and rebuilt in modern style three 

 of his old rose houses, making mod- 

 ern houses of them. All his paths, un- 

 less in the violet house, are next the 

 walls. 



The old style of building benches 

 against the walls is fast disappearing 

 in this section as is very forcibly dem- 

 onstrated by Crabb & Hunter in their 

 new violet range of sash houses. They 

 are 12 feet wide and all the paths arc 

 at the side, with no partition between 

 them, an entirely new departure in 

 building narrow houses. Their new 

 range consists of one carnation house, 

 130x30 fe«t and five Marie Louise 

 houses 130x12 feet each, with 7 feet 

 wide benches in the center, an increase 

 of 16,000 square feet of glass. 



They have torn down a 1.50x12 feet 

 rafter carnation house and rebuilt with 

 sash for a violet house: also rebuilt a 

 smilax and one chrysanthemum house 

 and are now getting ready to put in 

 another boiler, as is Henry Smith also. 

 With their new range they are now the 

 largest violet growers east of New 

 York. They plant their violets from 

 2%-inch pots in July, 9x10 inches apart 

 and leave the sash off until danger of 

 frost, when they are quickly put on. 



The Floral Co. are tearing down 

 three 20 feet houses running north and 

 south and rebuilding them running 

 east and west, running a shed along 

 their west end, which is the east end 

 of the remainder of their plant. This 

 change is for convenience on the one 

 hand and to get a south exposure on 

 the other. Here again care is taken to 

 put paths along the walls so as to 

 utilize in the best possible manner 

 growing space. 



James Schols has overhauled his old 

 houses and made some additions: also 

 put in a new boiler. 



Freyling & Mendell are widening one 

 of their large houses 12 feet. F. A. 

 Chapman is building a new carnation 

 house 90x20 and rebuilding two oth- 

 ers. Paul Goebel has given up his in- 

 tention of putting up a new house this 

 year and is confining his attention to 

 overhauling what he has and putting 

 in a new boiler. 



NEW BEDFORD. MASS. — W. G, 

 Kraber gave up the place at 125 Flor- 

 ence street, July 1, and has leased the 

 residence and gi'eenhouses of Geo. 

 Brennan, 35 Tremont street. The lat- 

 ter will try his luck at farming on a 

 15-acre farm he has purchased in 

 Shawmut.
