GRAND RAPIDS, MICH. 



We have had a mild, bright fall, which 

 brought carnations out freely early in 

 the season and has the rose crop so offish 

 that a fear has been expressed that the 

 crop may hit the holidays a body blow. 

 Business has lately been good, with plen- 

 ty of roses and too few carnations. 

 While white is plentiful, it is color that 

 is scarce, particularly red. 



Wm. Cunningham has just recovered 

 from a severe attack of appendicitis. 



With some growers violets are doing 

 nicely; with others, although the plants 

 look fine and are in apparent good health, 

 yet they are shy in blooming. It is ex- 

 pected that when the weather gets steady 

 cold they may bloom better. 



The Grand Rapids Florists' Associa- 

 tion has been organized and has opened 

 a stand in Chicago, 60 vVabash avenue, 

 and will do a wholesale business. Crabb 

 & Hunter have given up their stand and 

 gone in with the association. Mrs. Jami- 

 son, who conducted Crabb & Hunter's 

 stand, will be in charge. The association 

 has nine members already, with the prom- 

 ise of several more. The promoters are 

 Clarence Hills, Eli Cross, Henry Smith 

 and Alfred Hanna. A meeting was held 

 at Henry Smith's store last Monday 

 evening to complete organization and at- 

 tend to the details of handling the stand 

 along lines similar to those of a com- 

 mission store. G. F. C.

MENTION US TO ADVERTISERS. 



One cannot be anything but pleased 

 with the Review; the Special Number 

 was a "beaut." Anything I can do to 

 push a good thing along I will do with 

 pleasure. H. P. Loding.
