GRAND RAPIDS, MICH. 



Wo luive liaJ sudi a siege of dull, dark, 

 imiggy weather that it has seriously cur- 

 tailed tlie cut of flowers for the holidays. 

 So dark lias it been for days that the 

 down town stores were lighted up all 

 day, something unusual in this city. 



Carnations have soared skyward in 

 prices, while roses have moved up just 

 a little. The demand from shipping or- 

 ders alone is sufficient now to use up 

 any possible cut between now and Christ- 

 mas. Regular customers only are get- 

 ting flowers; new customers are greeted 

 with. "Sorry, but everything is ordered." 



Violets, even, are not blooming well 

 for the same reason and are in great de- 

 mand. The outlook for a good holiday 

 trade is e.xeellent, if we could only have 

 some bright weather. Carnations are 60 

 to 75 cents per doz. ; roses, $1 to $1.25; 

 violets, 25 to 35 cents per doz. 



There will be the usual enormous quan- 

 tity of holly used from all appearances, 

 and it is to be expected that at the last 

 moment many will be obliged to use it 

 instead of flowers. 



There will be some fine poinsettias, 

 primroses and azaleas for pot plants, 

 also a few paper whites, romans and 

 stevias. G. F. C. 



KANSAS CITY, KANSAS. 



Here is a city of 75,000 to 100,000 — 

 the latter nearer the correct estimate — 

 with but one retail flower store, and that 

 one "in the market." 



Mr. J. S. Short has a very neat little 

 store here, with a convenient consorva- 

 toi-y in the rear and has had seven years' 

 experience there. His range of green- 

 houses in Kansas City, Mo., he sold in 

 October to Jfr. Vcsey, of Fort Wayne, 

 realizing that a retail store in one city 

 and greenhouses ten miles di.stant in an- 

 other, with "one more river to cross" to 

 get "to either of them, is an "enigma" 

 which more than lie have found unsolva- 

 ble. Mr. Short's retail business is good 

 and is a practical monopoly. 



His stand at the Union depot he sold 

 some years ago to Mr. Freudenthal. This 

 latter gentleman has been quite success- 

 ful there, and contemplates, I am told, a 

 more pretentious effort in a popular 

 Walnut street localitv. Au.stin. 



Morris, III. — A petition in bankrupt- 

 cy has been filed in the United States 

 court by E. H. M. Lannowe, for the Mor- 

 ris Floral Company. Geo. W. Anderson 

 was appointed receiver by the court. The 

 liability of the concern will amount to 

 about .$7,000, while the assets are nom- 

 inal. It is understood that arrangements 

 are expected to be made with the credit- 

 ors whereby the business of the company 

 may be continued. 



Certainly we want the Review con- 

 tinued. Wouldn't know what to do with- 

 out it. — -St. Clair Floral Co., Belleville, 

 111. 



All VERY well pleased with the Review 

 and enjoy it very much. — .Jos. Coenex, 

 Louisville, Ky.
