The Weekly Florists' Review.

GRAND RAPIDS, MICH. 



On May 3 this city was visited by the 

 most disastrous hail storm in its history. 

 It lasted but ten minutes, yet did thou- 

 sands of dollars of damage. The whole 

 city suffered but of course the green- 

 houses came in for the heaviest loss. N. 

 B. Stover, of Grandville, was touched 

 for about 400 panes, L. C. Lincoln, of 

 Grandville, suffered to the amount of 

 $150, and the Mulick Floral Co, suffer- 

 ed for 4 like amount. Not till it reached 

 Grand Rapids, however, did it show what 

 it really could do. At Eli Cross' it struck 

 from the south side and in a few brief 

 moments there was hadly a pane left on 

 bis entire plant, the total loss to glass 

 and greenhouse stock amounting to $5,- 

 000. Within two hours after the storm 

 Mr. Cross had twenty-five men at work 

 clearing away the broken glass prepara- 

 tory to reglazing. They are still at it. 

 Peter Kunst, Union and Crescent avenues, 

 lost ninety per cent of all his glass, the 

 money amount of his loss being $2,000. 

 John Ball park sustained a slight loss, 

 as did several lettuce plants, from $300 

 to $400 each. The rest of the florists es- 

 caped. Crabb & Hunter were on the 

 edge of the storm. Their loss was nomi- 

 nal, while within two blocks of them the 

 storm raged in all its fury and the 

 stones that were weighed were two 

 ounces each. 



Peter Kunst says he will not rebuild; 

 the boys say yes, but they will tear the 

 houses down and build them anew. Some 

 of the houses were pretty old and had 

 small glass. 



There is talk now of the desirability 

 of hail insurance and it is likely several 

 firms will insure forthwith. 



The weather continues raw and un- 

 settled. As far as known, all the flo- 

 rists have their carnations planted in the 

 field. It is predicted there will be a 

 scarcity of bedding stock before the sea- 

 son closes, particularly geraniums. While 

 no concerted action has been taken to 

 raise prices, it is noticeable that they 

 are a little higher than last year. Par- 

 ticularly is this true on the smaller sizes 

 of plants. Window boxes have advanced' 

 10 cents a foot, while baskets and vases 

 remain the same. G. F. C. 



Gabthaoe, Mo. — On Perry Finn's new 

 greenhouses glass is being used from the 

 new Kansas gas field.
