GRAND RAPIDS, MICH. 



Thanksgiving trade tliis year was 

 but little inferior to Christmas trade 

 of last. Everything sold out close, par- 

 ticularly roses and carnations, of which 

 there were not enough to go around. 

 Prices on previous similar holidays 

 were never so high as on this occa- 

 sion. 



Roses at the stores sold for $1.25 per 

 doz.; Beauties, $2 to $3.50; carnations, 

 35 to 50 cents; violets, from 20 to 30 

 cents, with light sales on this one 

 flower only. Outside demand was in 

 excess of the supply at $2 to $2.50 per 

 100 wholesale. 



Mums at Smith's went from $1 to $2; 

 they were heavily stocked and put the 

 $2 price on to make sure of selling 

 their best out close, which they did. 

 Cunningham got as high as $3 for his 

 mums and when asked if plants or cut 

 flowers sold best replied, "Don't know; 

 sold out every plant and cut flower 

 we had and could have sold more." 

 The Floral Co. and Renwick sing the 

 same refrain, both claiming trade far 

 in excess of last year. It might be 

 roughly averaged that the money value 

 of this year was from 40 to 50 per cent, 

 better than last. 



If Christmas is to be better than 

 Thanksgiving with its stock of mums 

 to draw from, what on earth are we 

 going to do for flowers? 



The next club meeting will be held 

 at the Eagle hotel, Tuesday evening.
