The Weekly Florists' Review* 



MARl-H It. IVMK 



SAGINAW, MICH. 



An object lP>son in utilizing space is 

 given by Chas. Frueh & Son. who 

 turned out four successive crops in 

 one year from one bench. They com- 

 menced with a crop of clirysanthe- 

 munis. followed by poinspttias. then a 

 crop of lettuce, and the space is now 

 occupied by geraniums, of which more 

 than ten thousand are ready for spring 

 sales. 



About 3.01 »0 poinseltias are in the sand 

 bed for next season. Old wood being 

 used it is rather slow in callousing, but 

 when it does break it makes a strong 

 plant. 



Carnations are fine, including Mary 

 Wood. Bradt, Flora Hill and Daybreak. 

 Glacier will be grown in place of old 

 Lamborn. which has played out. A 

 splendid pink seedling is the most 

 profitable flower they have. 



Roses are grown in solid beds with 

 permanent tile drainage. Mr. Eel 

 Worm has introduced himself, but is 

 meeting with a chilly reception and 

 will soon take his departure. 



Some well built carnation houses 

 open at the gutters aie replacing the 

 old time narrow and single houses. A 

 large light house for smila.x and aspar- 

 agus was completed before cold weath- 

 er set in. Young stock is in e.xcellent 

 condition. 



Grohman Bros, have made a great 

 change in their place by adding a store 

 and office, which =ers off the place to 

 decided advantage. M. 



LANSING. MICH. 



J. A. Bissinger had to hustle to fin- 

 ish building before cold weather set in, 

 but he did it and has a plant most con- 

 venient to handle and elegant in ap- 

 pearance. Situated on Capitol and an- 

 other main avenue, the double fronted 

 store is shown to great advantage and 

 is kept well stocked from the green- 

 houses at the rear. A handsome dwell- 

 ing was also finished at the same time. 



M. 



ALBION, MICH. 

 The Misses Uyslngu- are much 

 pleased with business, which is st;ad- 

 ily Increasing. They have decide:! to 

 enlarge their plant and have secured 

 for the purpose a location upon the 

 best street in the town, where soon a 

 model structure will be built. M. 



GRAND RAPIDS, WIS.— Mr. L. H. 

 Read has closed out his inteve=ts here 

 and has removed to Fruitdal*. Ala , 

 where he will engage in bulb growing. 

 The Riverdale Seed P^arm is arranging 

 for building anew this season after los- 

 ing their warehouse and greenhouse 

 by fire last January. 



MR. .1. AUSTIN SHAW has been ap- 

 pointed sole .American agent for Bdw. 

 Van Coppenolle. of Ghent. Belgium, 

 one of the oldest Kurcpean houses, this 

 year celebrating irs "Golden .Jubilee." 

 having been established fifty years.
