The Weekly Florists' Review, 



SEPTEMBER 11, 1899. 



GRAND RAPIDS, MICH. 



The drouth and extreme heat are 

 broken at last, copious rains having 

 fallen, and the weather has turned 

 cooler, so much so, in fact, that steam 

 heat is already applied to the rose 

 houses to keep down mildew. 



Business still continues dull, with a 

 glut on asters and carnations from the 

 field. Roses that were planted early- 

 are beginning to bloom. Roses sell at 

 75 cents to $1 per dozen; carnations 

 15 to 25 cents; asters, the same. There 

 is plenty of greens, and fine, too. Most 

 of the building operations are drawing 

 to a close, although Chadwick, Creel- 

 man and the Floral Company each 

 have one more house to put up. Frost 

 is expected in the near future and 

 there is a hurry up to finish planting 

 before being nipped. 



E. E. Pieser, of the firm of Kennicott 

 Bros. Co., Chicago, has been in town 

 for a week, visiting the various estab- 

 lishments and sizing up the prospects 

 of the winter's crops. 



Mr. Evans, of the Quaker City Ma- 

 chine Works, was also a recent visitor. 

 Most of the new houses being erected 

 will be equipped with the Challenge 

 ventilating apparatus.

QUICK HOSE COUPLING. 



Some kind of a quick acting hose 

 coupling is a labor saver for the 

 florist, and a hose saver too. Hence 

 the accompanying engraving of a new 

 coupling known as the "Quick as 

 Wink" and manufactured by the W. 

 J. Clark Co., Salem, 0., will be of some 

 little interest. 



Connection is made by simply push- 

 ing the parts together and they can 

 be disconnected as quickly by pres- 

 sure on the levers on the grip part. 

 This coupling has been in use by fire- 

 men for several years and has now 

 been adapted to smaller sizes of hose. 



Time is money and florists are in- 

 terested in anything that will save 

 time. Among the testimonials print- 

 ed by the manufacturers we note one 

 from Peter Crowe, the florist, Utica. 

 He says this coupling has consider- 

 ably reduced his bills for hose. He 

 has faucets placed at frequent inter- 

 vals in his houses and does his water- 

 ing with a 25 foot length of hose, the 

 quick acting coupling enabling him to 

 transfer the hose to a new faucet with 

 the greatest ease. 



ST. PAUL, MINN.— Wm. Scott, for- 

 merly with L. L. May & Co., has re- 

 turned from Alaska.
