The Weekly Florists' Review. 



ii lirsT i:;, l'.Ki.-i. 



GRAND RAPIDS, MICH. 



We have had a dull, cloudy, raw week, 

 cool enough to wear an overcoat at 

 night; good carnation growing weather, 

 but unfavorable for peaches, for which 

 this sort ion is famous. 



Several linns started Monday to plant 

 carnations, which are, despite the late 

 frost and unfavorable weather, nice, 

 bushj plants, better than they were this 

 time last year. The carnation crop is 

 about over, and but very few asters are 

 in as yet. Funeral work and shipping 

 keeps all greenhouse flowers cleaned up; 

 outdoor flowers are cheap. One of the 

 florists had a wagon-load of hardy phlox 

 and Golden Glow, peddling them on the 

 si reel :it 75 eents per 100. Then it is 

 when the storemen are asked why they 

 charge 25 cents or more per dozen for 

 the same goods, that they feel pleasant- 

 ly disposed to the peddler wagon. Prices 

 of carnations are 25 cents per dozen; 

 roses $1 ; American Beauties, $1.50 to 

 $3. Outdoor flowers: prices unmention- 

 able. Although every one is busy, either 

 rebuilding or building, there is talk of 

 going to the Milwaukee convention. 

 While every one favors conventions and 

 likes to attend them, it is hard to get 

 them to offer a positive promise. "I'll 

 see if I can spare the time," but at least 

 ten will attend, and will do what they 

 can to make the convention a success, 

 and we may carol the busy bees to the 

 tune of five or six more. 



It is now time to turn our attention 

 to the coal bins, the florists ' ' ' supply 

 combination" seems to be quietly sleep- 

 ing, and it now, evidently, is a " go-as- 

 you-please" race. 



The city is trying to purchase 40 

 acres of land adjoining John Ball Park, 

 the project of purchasing Schmidt Bros.' 

 greenhouses and grounds having fallen 

 through. G. P. C.
