The Weekly Florists' Review* 



KALAMAZOO, MICH. 

 Memorial week was one of the busi- 

 est in the history oi the trade in thi> 

 city, the quantities at plants and cut 

 lowers sold exceeding all former years, 

 while the trade in baskets rid window 

 Ikincs also made a fine gain. The 



plant trade, « hich i- a week i ao In 



were entirelj cleaned oul of cut blooms 



and had to refus ders from neighboi 



ing cities. 



The rose and carnation cuts, while 

 larger and of fine quality, did not cover 

 the demand. Other stock, such as callas, 

 white stocks and, in fact, any kind of a 

 il. wer, met with a readj sale, particu- 

 larly toward the end of the wick. 



M. F. Kyle, of the Dunkley Floral 

 Co., reports tlii^ a- a very satisfactory 

 .Memorial daj trade. 



G. Van Bochove & Bro., comparing if 

 with former years, say thej arc eonsid- 

 erably ahead. Prices ruled about the 



.lack Calder, of the East Side, basbeen 

 doing a -.<" .1 trade in bedding plants, 

 carnations and other cut flowers. 



Rose planting is in full swing. The 

 quantities to be benched will conside] 

 ably exceed lasl season. The firms now 

 buildine- are preparinc. to increase in 

 Beautj stock.

 fine, the genial rains of the past ten 

 ■ lays having done wonder- for them. 

 These will also !><■ planted in greater 

 quantities this year, the Van Boehove 

 Brothers alone having 30,000 in the field 

 for their own benching. B.
