W%W ICLCiPV I ^2 ^^ ^^^ growing the finest Russells arriving in this 

 ■^^'^^^^*— ^^ market. All visitors to the greenhouses in this district 

 say that our Russells are the best to be found. 



We cut our flowers tight in the bud, as the majority of our trade is shipping. Flowers that 



are sold mostly to the city trade are allowed to open more than for the shipping trade. 



We have the regular varieties of Roses in large quantities, receiving them direct from the green- 

 houses within a few hours of being cut, which enables us to fill all orders with strictly fresh stock. 

 This is the great advantage of buying direct of the grower.

The Ionia Pottery Co., Ionia, Mich.,

 business of the Haeger Potteries, of 

 Dundee and Elgin, 111. 



The Haeger concern manufactured a 

 number of other lines, but during the 

 time it was in the pot business a large 

 trade was developed. The sale to the 

 Ionia company was made for the pur- 

 pose of permitting concentration of en- 

 ergies upon the other lines of manu- 

 facture and included machinery, stock 

 and good will. The machinery has been 

 removed to Ionia and installed as an 

 important addition to the facilities

The Market. 



The increasing supply of chrysan- 

 themums last week showed its effect on 

 other stock. The weather was clear 

 and warm, and stock came in with a 



rush. The wholesale houses were filled 

 with mums of all varieties and of all 

 grades. Prices dropped to a low figure 

 for the poor grades, and buyers made 

 their own prices. The large, fancy 

 stock, however, held up in price the 

 early part of the week, but this, too, 

 came in for a cut in price as the week 

 came to a close. The demand was 

 large; buyers took advantage of the 

 great quantities arriving. Eoses w«re
