GRAND RAPIDS, MICH. 



We are having the woi-.st attack of 

 bad weather of any we have had this 

 wintei-. It has snowed and blowed and 

 hailed and rained by turns, then froze 

 up solid, with a gale a-blowing. all of 

 which has had a bad effect on trade, 

 which is a little quiet this week. How- 

 evei-, it has allowed the crop of roses 

 to catch up with the demand, while 

 carnations are still scarce and need a 

 few days more in which to prepai'e for 

 a renewed demand soon as this bliz- 

 zard-like weather is over. 



The favorite white for this fall's 

 l)laiUing is White Cloud, of whiirh 

 some very line blooms are being cut. 

 Flora Hill ranks next. Lately consid- 

 erable improvement has been noticed 

 in the sliffnes.s of her stem. The out- 

 look for a fine Eiister crop of this car- 

 nation is good. Evelina and White 

 Daybreak will continue to be planted 

 hugely, while .John Young will be giv- 

 en another chance to show his opening 

 ability. G. F. CRABB. 



COLUMBUS, OHIO. 



The fourteenth annual police ball, 

 which was held on l'>hruary 22 at the 

 Goodale Street Auditorium, was a de- 

 cided success. The hall was tastefully 

 and artistically d(K'orated by Mr. 

 Charles, especial attention being paid 

 to the stage, which was draped in the 

 national colors and decorated with cut 

 flowers, palms and fern.s. In the cen- 

 ter of tile stage were large pictures 

 of the mayor, the director and the 

 chief of police. 



The exhibition drill was very attrac- 

 tive, given by 32 members of the po- 

 lice department, all of whom wore 

 bouquets of red and white carnations, 

 and the mayor, chief, director and 

 otheL^fficers were decorated with 

 Marechal Niel roses, which were also 

 furnished by Mr. Charles. 



Mr. Nienhearte, formerly with S. F. 

 Stephens, has left for California, 

 where he expects to stai't in business. 



Miss Hester A. Getz has brought in- 

 junction pi-oceedings against Cross & 

 Co.. from whom she leased a part of 

 the stoi-e at 9 North High street. The 

 defendants have declined to deliver 

 the lease and threaten to oust her. 

 It is said that another florist is in- 

 terested with the defendant. G. 



A HARD LIFE. 



A New Jersey florist gives us a vei-y 

 interesting report as to the way his 

 time is occupied. 



He writes: "I am working from 6 

 in the morning until 6 at night, and 

 after tea I am chasing snails, cut 

 worms, moths and mice, and looking 

 after the fires until 12 o'clock. The 

 florist's life is not as smooth as it 

 looks." 



PRICE OF GLASS. 



The pi'esent discount on gi'eenhouse 

 glass is 85 and 5 per cent from the 

 price list. We understand, though, 

 that glass manufactui'ers are at the 

 present time well supplied with or- 

 ders for sizes genei-ally used on green- 

 houses and that the dealei's find it dif- 

 ficult to place orders for same with the 

 manufacturers. 



CONNELLSVILLE. PA.— P. R. De 

 Muth has ordered material for a new 

 carnation house, 24x100, to be built 

 during the coming summer. It will 

 be a short span to the south house and 

 will be glazed with 10x24 glass.
