The Weekly Florists^ Review*

GRAND RAPIDS, MICH. 



Old Sol is getting iii his woik in tor- 

 rid style, 100 degrees in the shade being 

 attained. Men are wheeling dirt and 

 planting mums in houses where the 

 temperature registers 120 degrees. Every 

 few days we are treated to a furious 

 rain and thunderstorm. 



June weddings have been a Ijoon to the 

 florists. Being an almost daily occur- 

 rence they have consumed an enormous 

 quantity of stock" that would otiierwise 

 have gone to waste. While the hot 

 weather has affected trade, funeral or- 

 ders keep all pretty busy. 



Mum. violet and rose planting are in 

 full swing. The carnations are getting 

 small, and if Brides and Maids continue 

 decreasing a microscope will soon be re- 

 quired to see them. 



July 2 there was an auction sale of 

 the stock and fixtures of T. R. Ren wick 

 & Co. The greenhouses, five in number, 

 will be sold in a few days. The glass, 

 single strength, 12x14, is the only value 

 in the houses and will probably be sold 

 for 41, mere song. The ten acres of prop- 

 erty will also be sold, all by order of the 

 court. G. F. C.
