GRAND RAPIDS, MICH. 



The weather lias been most favorable 

 the past throe weeks for carnation yrow - 

 iug. In consequence the plants look tine, 

 auil the work of benching them is being 

 pushed with all the zeal possible, for 

 the weather is so cool an<l cloudy that 

 it is hardly necessary to shade the glass. 

 We expect, when this spell of cold 

 weather ends, it will be followed by a 

 long hot spell, to even things up, as it 

 were. 



Business is quiet ; you might almost 

 hear a pin dro]). There is a little funer- 

 al work and outside shipping, besides 

 the collection of bills from customers who 

 have flown to the resorts. Roses and 

 carnations are scarce. Roses have not 

 come into bloom yet and carnations are 

 thrown out and neglected. 



There will be no one from here whij 

 will attend the convention; too busy this 

 time. One of the boys, when asked if 

 he ■n-ere going, remarked: "Not even if 

 it were Milwaukee. I haven't the time." 



The Grand Rapids Floral Co. is build- 

 ing one rose house and remodeling sev- 

 eral others. It is using the Garland gut- 

 ter and solid cement benches for plant- 

 ing. The benches, or beds, are two feet 

 high, being filled to within six inches 

 of the top with sand or any good drain- 

 age material, then .soil ; benches, five 

 feet wide. The experiment is being 

 watched with considerable interest, for 

 if it succeeds it will be adopted by all 

 the florists. The carnation houses are 

 being equipped the same way. 



Wealthy Avenue Floral Co. is build- 

 ing two carnation houses; the Hill Co. 

 one propagating house. Chas. Chadwick 

 will build two large carnation houses 

 after the peacu crop is over. Crabb & 

 Hunter will build one large violet house, 

 ]. 50x30. Henry Smith, while he has glass 

 and other material on hand, has experi- 

 enced some difficulty in getting the neces- 

 sary help and is uncertain whether he 

 will build. Charley Morton is building 

 three carnation houses.

 Dear Sir: I have used your Wire 

 Carnation Supports for the last two 

 years, in all about 12,UUU. They fill 

 ihe bill in every particular. Nothing 

 could be more satisfactory, and it 

 would ?ive me a great deal of pleas- 

 ure if I can bespeak a good word for 

 you to the trade, and you are at lib- 

 erty to refer to me at any time. 

 Yours very truly,

 Dear Sir:— \fter using your Model 

 carnation support in two of our 

 houses the past winter we have come 

 to the conclusion that it is perfectly 

 adapted to supporting carnation 

 plaLts and shall use them on all our 

 plants the coming season. We were 

 much pleased with the simplicity, strength and neat ap- 

 pearance ol the support. Ynurs t'uly,
