about the faults in its materials if they supply materials only and never erect their own 

 houses? If you want the best there is in up-to-date materials, you'll buy them of green- 

 house builders and not lumber people or planing mills. We are greenhouse builders.

The Market* 



Thanksgiving was satisfactory and we 

 are looking now for a good Christmas 

 trade. Boses were in full crops and the 

 cut will be lighter for Christmas, but 

 heavy enough to meet demands. Carna- 

 tions are of good quality, but slow com- 

 ing in. Christmas bells seem to be a 

 thing of the past with the florists, as 

 every store in town is dangling full of 

 them. 



Various Notes. 



The Dunkley Floral Co. lost about six 

 boxes of glass in the recent storm. The 

 wind blew off some ventilators and made 

 things lively for a while. 



Grofvert & DeSmit's carnations are 

 fine, especially a bench of Queen is in 

 pink of condition. Koses, callas and pot 

 plants are grown here and are doing well. 



5. Batson's place is reported to be in 

 good shape. Baby primroses, snap dra- 

 gon, ten weeks' stocks, and carnations 

 are grown for the wholesale market. 



6. Van Bochove & Bro. had a busy 

 Thanksgiving. From 3 a. m. until clos- 

 ing time immense quantities of carna- 

 tions, roses and mums were handled. 

 Potted mums went well, also other pot- 

 ted plants. Extra help for store and 

 extra teams had to be hired for city de- 

 livery. They are also planning to erect 

 three more houses, 27x300, at their new 

 location. The ground already is graded, 

 but the setting in of winter stops further 

 progress. When completed they will 

 have 125,000 feet of glass. 



The Central Michigan Nurseries did 

 good business at the old stand. There 

 was a nice supply of roses, carnations, 

 mums and other cut flowers. Their 

 greenhouses are looking well. Carnations 

 are arriving in good shape. 



F. W. Meyers, the riverside florist, re- 

 ports good trade at the cemetery. His 

 carnations are fine. He also intends to put 

 up a house for 'carnations, 22x200, the 

 coming season. ^ ; • H. M. 



Merrill, Wis. — N. Greivelding has 

 two new shoit-span greenhouses in fine 

 shape. He has five beds in carnations 

 doing well. The beds are one foot high 

 and have a drainage channel under them 

 filled with stones.

 about U-Bar 

 houses: "I con- 

 sider the U-Bar style of 

 construction as far ahead 

 of the ordinary iron frame 

 as the iron frame sur- 

 passed the old wooden 

 house with 8x10 glass. 

 My predictions are that 

 all up-to-date horticultur- 

 ists will demand this 

 method in the future."
