The Weekly Florists' Review. 



FEBRl'ARY 15. 1900. 



GRAND RAPIDS, MICH. 



The continued bad weather has made 

 it bad for the shipping trade, as trains 

 have been badly delayed and ship- 

 ments put on board the various trains 

 never reached their destination until 

 ready for the dump. 



Flowers are scarce. In carnations 

 the only variety in good supply is 

 Scott. Roses all shy. although they 

 are blooming more freely than last 

 week. Violets are now doing finely. 

 The demand for funeral flowers con- 

 tinues steady and uses up a quality of 

 flowers that might otherwise find their 

 way to the dump. Prices remain the 

 same as when last quoted, except some 

 grades of carnations, which have 

 dropped a trifle, noticeably Scott and 

 Daybreak. 



Geo. Hancock, of Grand Haven, was 

 a recent visitor. The Florists' Club 

 intends holding a carnation meeting, 

 possibly a banquet, at the Eagle Hotel 

 some time in March. George Hancock 

 has expressed a wish to have it held 

 in Grand Haven, but while there is a 

 general desire to agi'ee to meet there, 

 yet so many of the boys would find it 

 diflScult to get to the meeting if held 

 there; so, in deference to the greatest 

 good to the greatest number, the meet- 

 ing will undoubtedly be held here as 

 usual and. a subsequent meeting at 

 Crand Haven. G. F. CRABB.
