fices the notices of cancellation are piled 

 high. The larger part of the rose crop 

 will die upon the bushes, and the gar- 

 deners will be out of pocket the money 

 they have spent on land, on plants, and 

 on cultivation in anticipation of the 

 profits which the sudden illness of one 

 man has reduced to airy nothings. — New 

 York Sun. 



GRAND RAPIDS, MICH. 



The weather still continues very un- 

 favorable for growing. It rains every 

 few days and the soil doesn't have time 

 to get dry before it is soaked again. 

 Carnations are, in consequence, rather 

 small for this time of the year. The 

 continued wet interfered with getting soil 

 in the blenches for planting, but roses 

 are now all planted and most of the 

 violets. 



Bruins-Slot & Son and Crabb & Hunter 

 have lost lots of carnations by muskrats. 

 They gnaw the plants off on a level with 

 the ground. Bruins-Slot got after them 

 with a shot gun and in a week's time 

 killed three; Crabb & Hunter have traps, 

 but no catch. 



Business is very quiet. A little ship- 

 ping trade and occasional funeral work 

 serve to relieve the monotony. Carna- 

 tions, 20 to 25 cents per doz. ; roses, 

 75 cents to $1 per doz.; American 

 Beauties, $1.50 to $3 per doz.; sweet 

 peas, 10 cents per doz. 



It looks very much as though no one 

 from here will go to Asheville. Sea- 

 son is late, work backward, and no one 

 takes any interest in the matter. We 

 wish the boys a good time and hope to be 

 well represented another year at the con- 

 vention, which we hope will be held in 

 Milwaukee.

COIL HEATERS. 



We want to give you a bit of our ex- 

 perience with coil heaters, having used 

 two different styles. They were made 

 of gas pipe and did fairly well the first 

 winter, but failed entirely at the end of 

 the second year. They will not stand 

 the soft coal fire. This we learned in the 

 school of experience. A good heavy cast- 

 iron boiler is cheaper at double price 

 than any gas pipe coil heater given as 

 at present.

 vrEW is the best paper I ever advertised

I THINK very highly of the Eeview

 it.— Geo. O. Klein, Camden Sta., Ky.
