The Weekly Florists' Revievr. 



MAY 3, 1960. 



PROVIDENCE, R. I. 



They all sold out; sold out of house 

 and home at 25 per cent advance on 

 last year's prices. The only trouble 

 was, had not enough stock. 



The writer found John Macrae puf- 

 fing a weed in his new office, which is 

 fixed up in style, showing there're no 

 flies on Mack. John has made great 

 improvements in his place the past 

 year and the boys, including the 

 writer, wish him good luck. 



Rennie & Pind are going right ahead 

 in their large store on Washington 

 and Eddy streets. I hear some talk of 

 Rennie inviting the boys down to do 

 the highland fling. 



At the meeting of the Florists' and 

 Gardeners' Club, held on the 12th, the 

 subject of delinquent members was 

 taken up, and, unfortunately, some 

 weeding out was the result, but I am 

 happy to say all the full-blooded .^tock 

 is left, and the president says the tiub 

 shall go ahead. TUjre was tpi.tc a 

 discussion on uniform nri-^e.^. The re- 

 tail men seenicl to think tie whole- 

 sale men have iht best end of the 

 stick. 



Seedling pinks are ail the r-ige hero 

 and Fred Hoffman has a grand lot. 

 Hoff is on the track. 



The only lady landscape .gardener is 

 on hand in this neighborhood. Per- 

 haps it's just as weil there are not loo 

 many of them. SMIT^.VX. 



GRAND RAPIDS, MICH. 



The weather is fine, carnations are 

 in full crop and of exceptionally fine 

 quality, Flora Hill coming with a 

 stem that ought to be hers all winter, 

 then Flora would be the white, as she 

 is now better than White Cloud. A 

 start is being made to get the carna- 

 tion crop planted, the weather bo;ng 

 fine for that purpose. Business has 

 cropped off considerably, althougli 

 there is little, if any, good stock going 

 to waste. Cheap goods don't seem to 

 be wanted. Carnations run from 25 

 to 50 cents per dozen; roses, ?1 to 

 $1.50 per dozen; lilies, $1.50. Plant 

 sales are slow and a sort of a lull on 

 hand, giving us a chance to make am- 

 ple preparations for Decoration day 

 trade. 



Ben Pohlmann. foreman for Crabb 

 & Hunter, has gone into partnership 

 with F. Hills, who furnishes the 

 means, and they will build a large 

 range of glass at East Grand Rapids 

 and grow wholesale cut flowers only. 

 And Crabb & Hunter are looking for a 

 foreman. 



Van Zonneveld, bulb agent, was a 

 recent visitor. GEO. F. CRABB. 



BULB EXPORTERS' ASSOCIATION. 



The Holland bulb exporters have 

 formed an association with the above 

 title to safeguard their trade interests. 

 The manager is Mr. J. Spoor. Haar- 

 lem, Holland. Special features are 

 departments of inquiry and collection.
