The Weekly Florists' Review. 



AUGUST 10. 1899. 



GRAND RAPIDS. 



Business is dull, the people are at 

 the summer resorts, and save for fu- 

 neral work, both locally and out of 

 town, dull monotony reigns supreme. 



Violet and rose planting are now 

 over, and attention given the dirt pile 

 for carnation benches. Some florists 

 are obliged to get all their soil from 

 out of town, making the item of soil 

 come quite high. 



Cut flower prices are firmer this sum- 

 mer than last. Carnations selling from 

 20 to 25 cents per dozen; roses from 

 75 cents to $1; sweet peas from 10 to 

 15 cents; garden flowers any old price. 



Asters are beginning to come in 

 and will soon be plenty. 



About seven or eight will attend the 

 Detroit convention, and swell what 

 promises to be the best attended con- 

 vention ever held — and why should it 

 not be? The florists have had a pros- 

 perous year and can afford to go. They 

 should be and are anxious to take any 

 part in the convention, looking 

 toward the advancement of the trade 

 in general, for by that method are 

 they not benefiting themselves in par- 

 ticular? 



B. B. Blair, recently in the employ 

 of F. E. Meech & Son, of Charlevoix, 

 has bought out the establishment. He 

 will make some needed improvements 

 and expects to work up a successful 

 trade. GEO. F. CRABB. 



NORTH TONA WANDA, N. Y. 



North and South Tonawanda had a 

 hail storm on August 2 that made mat- 

 ters very lively for half an hour. Fred 

 Meyers lost 500 lights, I. Kendall about 

 300; at Crist Schuell's the damage was 

 very light. C. J. Pult, with 12,000 feet 

 of 16x24 double, did not lose one light. 



Fred Knicht, whose greenhouses 

 were destroyed by fire last December, 

 is again built up. 



The Florists' Supply Co. have had 

 such great success with their new soil 

 crusher and pulverizer that they are 

 now making a larger size and will ex- 

 hibit one at the Detroit convention. 

 The day is near when they will be as 

 popular and as much in general use as 

 the sash lifting machines are today. 



JAMES. 



COHOCTON, N. Y.- Charles Lar- 

 row won thirteen first and twelve sec- 

 ond prizes at the sweet pea exhibition. 

 All his plants were grown in Jadoo. 



OWOSSO, MICH— John Schleider is 

 adding one new house.
