NURSERY NEWS. 



AMERICAN ASSOCUTION OF NURSERYMEN. 



Pre8.,N. W. Hale, KnoxvlUe, Tenn.: Vlce-Pres., 

 P. A. Weber, St. Louis; See'y. Geo. C. Seager, 

 Kochester, N. Y.; Treas., C. L. Yates. Rochester, 

 N. Y. The twenty-elehth annual convention 

 will be held at Atlanta. Ga., June. 1U04. 



J. A. Taylor, Wynnewood, I. T., has 

 been elected president of the Oklahoma 

 Horticultural Society. 



The Ben Davis apple grown in Colo- 

 rado takes on a particularly high color 

 and is preferred in eastern markets on 

 that account. 



F. W. IMallt, of Garrison, Tex., re- 

 ports a good outlook in the nursery 

 trade of the southwest. He has been at 

 Houston recently. 



Samuel Rogers, of Mt. Holly, N. J., 

 will retire from active business, leaving 

 the management of the nurseries in the 

 hands of his son. 



N. E. Hansen, of Brookings, S. D., 

 has recently received four good sized 

 shipments- of hardy fruit trees from the 

 north of Europe. 



The nurserymen at Geneva, N. Y.. re- 

 port a light fall because of the short 

 planting season, but have a good lot of 

 orders on tile and expect a big spring 

 season. 



E. Gill of West Berkeley, and the 

 California Nursery Co., of JSfiles, were 

 awarded the contracts to supply the 

 towns of Oakland and Berkeley with 

 American white elms for planting on the 

 public streets. 



GRAND RAPIDS. 



The Market. 



Extreme cold weather still prevails. 

 The mercury hugs the zero point as if 

 loath to leave it, unless to drop back 

 into its snug retreat 10 below, where It 

 can usually be found after nightfall. 

 Once it) crawled up above freezing to see 

 what was going on and forgot the way 

 back and such a thaw as we did have; 

 water, water everywhere, not a dry spot 

 to set your feet. Last week would have 

 been quiet, but for the funerals of sev- 

 eral prominent citizens, including Fred 

 Macey, the mail order furniture man. 

 The quantity of flowers used was enor- 

 mous and cleaned out every florist in 

 town. 



Flowers, particularly roses, are very 

 scarce. American Beauties are unobtain- 

 able, except shorts, and these move fair- 

 ly well. Carnations are in good crop 

 and equal to the demand. Callas and 

 Harrisii are scarce. Except Paper 

 Whites, that people don't care for, and 

 Romans, there is practically no bulb 

 stock to offer. Prices remain stiff. 



Various Notes. 



Henry Van Hartesveldt Bros, have gone 

 into bankruptcy, with liabilities of over 

 $3,000, and numerous florists among the 

 creditors. They ran the Fifth Avenue 

 Floral Co. greenhouses, which have been 

 sold to the Wealthy Avenue Floral Co., 

 which tore them down and will erect two 

 new houses out of the glass and material 

 obtained. 



A groceryman. Porter by name, lon^r 

 enrious of the get rich quick habit of 



the florists, has decided to make his for- 

 tune, purchasing two acres of land on 

 Burton avenue near South Division 

 street and intends to put up a .$10,000 

 plant to grow cut flowers for the Chi- 

 cago market. 



Tlie Grand Rapids Floral Co. has put 

 in another eighty horse-power boiler to 

 mate the one obtained in Chicago early 

 in the spring. 



Crabb & Hunter's boiler at the lake 

 sprung a leak during the severest 

 weather and caused some uneasiness, 

 but was temporarily stopped by putting 

 l)ran in the boiler. It worked its way 

 down into the crack and stopped it en- 

 tirely, so now it does not leak a drop 



and is hoped will hold out till spring. 

 Anticipating po.ssible trouble, a thrash- 

 ing machine engine was hunted up, with 

 the end in view of connecting it with 

 the supply pipe in the boiler room while 

 repairs were being made. 



Hancock, of Grand Haven, was over 

 during the week canvassing for rooted 

 cuttings of. carnations, particularly of 

 the new kinds, of which he booked sev- 

 eral nice orders. 



It has been too cold to think much 

 about the carnation convention, but it is 

 safe to predict a good delegation, with 

 hopes of the best meeting vet.
