The Weekly Florists* Review* 



MARCH 29, 1900. 



GRAND RAPIDS, MICH. 



There has been plenty of funeral 

 work which has kept all kinds of sala- 

 ble stock from accumulating. The 

 Shaw funeral was a record breaker for 

 the quantity of flower.s used. Ameri- 

 can Beauties were lavishly used, in ad- 

 dition to set pieces. Henry Smith and 

 The Floral Co. had the large orders. 



One of the most elaborate weddings 

 of the season was that of the Amberg- 

 May wedding on the 11th. There were 

 21,000 pink and white roses used, be- 

 sides large quantities of asparagus, 

 wild smilax, laurel, plants, etc. Crabb 

 & Hunter had the order and were 

 compelled to get most of the material 

 from Chicago, flowers -being so scarce 

 in the home market. 



The effect of Lent is not as yet no- 

 ticeable a.s trade still continues good, 

 in spite of the warm days which bring 

 flowers out fast. What we will have 

 for Easter is now troubling us. Car- 

 nations promise to be scarce, particu- 

 larly white and red, and rose, too, will 

 be in short supply. 



To make up for this there will be 

 plenty of bulb stock, azaleas, flowering 

 shrubs, pot roses, even to a fine stock 

 of Crimson Ramblers and while Har- 

 risii are a failure there will be enough 

 longifloriums to meet the demands of 

 the Easter trade. 



Recent visitors were A. L. Vaughan, 

 Chicago; A. Boddington, New York, 

 and G. Kroschell and Herman Vlas- 

 veld, of Holland. 



A. W. Tweedle, Cadillac, Mich., who 

 has been in town, reports an excellent 

 trade and that he is going to move to 

 new quarters this summer and build 

 new houses. GEO. F. CRABB. 



DES MOINES, IOWA. 



Last Jlonday evening the downtown 

 store and conservatory of Alfred G. 

 Lozier was completely destroyed by 

 fire. Loss ?2,000 and insurance of 

 $500. 



That misfortunes never come singly 

 is again demonstrated, as I. W. Lozier, 

 manager of the downtown establish- 

 ment, has barely recovered from an all 

 winter's illness. 



Both Mr. Lozier and his son have 

 the sympathy of all in their misfor- 

 tune. E. 



COLUMBUS, NEB.— A 400-acre farm 

 just west of the village of Munroe has 

 been purchased by George Emerson, of 

 the Western Seed and Irrigation Com- 

 pany. Three of the Emerson brothers 

 will settle here. Contracts are being 

 made with farmers and it is proposed 

 to grow several thousand acres of 

 seeds. 



ALBANY, N. Y.— The firm of Gold- 

 ring Bros, has been dissolved. Here- 

 after Mr. Frederick Goldring will have 

 the greenhouse establishment at Sling- 

 erlands, and Mr. Samuel Goldring will 

 continue the retail business in this 

 city.
