GRAND RAPIDS, MICH, 



The weather is wild and Idustering, 

 with snow flurries not at all cheering to 

 the man who longs for bright daj's to 

 bring forth the flowers. 



From indications flowers will be 

 scarce for Christinas, and prices high. 

 There will be a fine lot of Harrisii, ahso 

 azaleas, poinsettias, Romans and valley 

 in pots and pans, and any amount of 

 palms and decorative stock. Great prep- 

 arations are being made to handle holly 

 and greens. 



One store has about twenty-five girls 

 making holly wreaths and gre*>n wreath- 

 ing. They expect to sell an enormous 

 quantit.v of holly and have turncil their 

 whole ground floor over to the handling 

 of Xmas green goods. 



\Vm. Cunningham has bought two acres 

 of land on the Ca.seade road, nenr Read's 

 lake, not far from Crabb & Hunter"^ 

 new plant. There is quite a oolcny of 

 florists around the lake now: besides 

 the two mentioned are Hopp & Lemke 

 and Clarence Hills. The locality is 

 sought after on account of its fine soil. 

 Bruins-Slot & Sons also have the buy- 

 ing fever. They have l)Ou»ht four acres 

 on Madison avenue, out near the old 

 Kent county fair ground. The.v will 

 build three small liouses next spring, 

 as a starter. G. F. C. 



NORTH AD.MWS, MASS. 



Monday and Tucsilay iiiplits (Dec. 

 8 and 91 were the cojdest in 

 years. Mercury registered 20 de- 

 grees below Monday night and Tuesday 

 morning, with a high wind. Mercury 

 was fi degrees below zero at noon Tues- 

 day and 1.5 degrees below Tuesday night. 

 All florists had to stay by the fires for 

 48 hours and only soft coal to burn and 

 hardly enough of that to be had ; price 

 is from .$7..50 to .$!) per ton. Prospects 

 are poor for a large cut for Christmas, 

 as we have had so much cloudy and 

 stormy weather the past three weeks. 



What holly that has arrived here is 

 very poor, having been frozen very hard. 



Florist Pratt has a fine batch of Har- 

 risii lilies, but a little late for the 

 holidays. 



T. D. Brown, of Adams, was more for- 

 tunate than the florists here. He had 

 a good lot of anthracite coal on hand, 

 so got through the cold snap all right. 

 He reports orders coming in for Christ- 

 mas in good shape. A. H. Darling. 



Detroit. Mich. — Three cases of plants 

 from Holland were recentl.v seized by 

 customs oflicers on account of underval- 

 uation, and when sold at auction real- 

 ized only a small part of tlicir value. 

 A case of hydrangeas brought only $5 

 and two cases containing about 1,000 

 roses brought $4.

 trated special list of Christmas decorat- 

 ive material has been issued by W. W.
