GRAND RAPIDS, MICH. 



The weather still continues to be the 

 all important subject. On May lOtli 

 ■we had a snow storm, a wild, bliistering 

 day it was and snow four inches deep 

 on the level, then followed a spell of 

 90 degrees in the shade, but just be- 

 fore Decoration Day it turned cold for a 

 while, the thermometer going to 32 de- 

 grees nearly all night, followed by 

 bright days with sharp winds and rain, 

 and rain, until you can 't rest. 



In spite of adverse weather conditions 

 the crop of carnations as well as other 

 flowers was never as abundant as this 

 year, nor was the demand ever as great. 

 All the supply was used up, and orders 

 refused, there being nothing to fill them 

 with. Decoration Day was ideal, as far 

 a weather was concerned and the crowds 

 taxed the ability of the greenhouse help 

 to wait on them, particularly in the 

 plant line. Geraniums were the prin- 

 cipal plants bought and every plant in 

 town with a flower on and lots without 

 were sold, and they are now scarce, ex- 

 cept for some small stuff still in 3-inch. 

 The volume of business done was about 

 bo per cent on an average more than last 

 year. All did a satisfactory business 

 and are now getting the down town bed- 

 ding attended to, boxes, hanging bask- 

 ets, etc., delivered. The replanting of 

 roses has also commenced. 



Carnations were 35 and .50 cents per 

 dozen, the latter being the regular 

 price. Roses, $1.00 to $1.25 per doz. 

 Iiilies, $1.50 per doz., and Marguerites, 

 15c per doz. G. F. C. 



Cleveland, O. — The J. M. Gasser Co. 

 report the demand for flowers for Deco- 

 ration Day as unprecedented. Not only 

 was the supply inadequate, but the qual- 

 ity averaged very poor in roses, due to 

 the remarkable weather changes that 

 preceded the holiday and the attacks 

 of thrips that were developed by the 

 hot spell. 



Mt. Sterling, Kt.— Emil Fredrich re- 

 ports trade here as better than ever be- 

 fore. Nothing left over but empty 

 benches. Many customers had to go 

 back with empty baskets. Mr. Fredricli 

 will add a new house 20xS0 this sum- 

 mer, giving him a total of 9,000 feet. 



If tou don't find what you want in 

 our classified advs. let us know and we 

 will ascertain for you where you may 

 get it.
