Bttsiness G>nditions. 



At lust tlio druufflit is broken, and 

 the longed-for rain has arrived. It lias 

 oomo in time to save the carnation crop, 

 although some patches are partly de- 

 stroyed. There will be no further fear 

 of dry weather for the rest of the sea- 

 son, as this was a thorough soaker, and 

 has gone down to the roots of things. 

 A good hoeing or stirring of the soil 

 will retain the moisture now for weeks. 



A summer quietness has settled down 

 over business except occasional funerals 

 and shipping orders. Replanting is well 

 under way; Crabb & Hunter have five 

 houses of carnations in. Cross, Smith 

 and the Grand Kapids Floral Co. have 

 begun planting. All are considerably 

 behind, compared to what they were this 

 time last year, on account of the dry, hot 

 weather. 



The aster crop has been badly 

 checked by the dry weather, and wiil 

 not amount to much, on account of the 

 ^liort stems. 



Flowers are very scarce, there being 

 few either of roses or carnations. What 

 there are arc of poor quality, and will be 

 until we begin cutting from the new 

 crops; at the same time, demand is light 

 and most of the time easily met. 



Variotn Notes. 



Eli Cross has added a rose house to 

 his plant, and will open a store down- 

 town, where Miss Harnett was located. 

 She has removed to the Pythian temple. 



Henry Smith is behind in replanting 

 roses, having to rebuild and extend two 

 lioMses before he could start. 



('. Chadwick has his rose replanting 

 xinder full headway. Mr. Deidrich, the 

 new foreman, is making things hustle. 



Jacob Dutmers, for the last two years 

 with the Manistee Floral Co., takes 

 charge of the Reeds Lake Floral Co., 

 formerly the Grand Rapids Violet Co. 

 The new firm will grow cut flowers, 

 roses, carnations and mums. 



It is rumored that John Steenmaii 

 •will take a position with the Manistee 

 Floral Co., to fill the vacancy made by 

 the withdrawal of Jacob Dutmers.

Philadelphia, Pa. — The firm of John 

 Lucas & Co., manufacturers of paint and 

 glass for the trade, has been reorganized, 

 and the business will now be conducted 

 by William E. Lucas and H. Spencer 

 Lucas, who assume all obligations of the 

 old firm.
