GRAND RAPIDS. 



The Market 



The weather has turned extremely 

 cold, the thermometer hovering from 

 zero to 16 degrees above. Snow is six 

 inches deep, making good sleighing. The 

 extreme cold was preceded by two days 

 of continuous rain, which caused the 

 river to rise rapidly to flood height, 

 then freeze solid so as to form an ice- 

 jam. This jam has been pushed up 

 higher and higher by the water under- 

 neath, until it has inundated a portion 

 of the west side, backed up in the sewers 

 and filled the basements of dwellings 

 and stores on Canal and other streets. 

 A large gang of men are at work night 

 and day building sand bag embankments 

 to keep the waters and ice in check. 



Trade has settled down to a healthy, 

 steady grind. All are busy. Flowers 

 are coming in larger quantities, except 

 roses, which are at the famine point. 

 Carnations are barely plentiful enough 

 to fill all demands. Callas and Easter 

 lilies are more plentiful. Tulips and 

 A'^on Sions, although a bit short in the 

 stem, are on the market and meet with 

 a fair sale. Stcvia is about over. 



Qub Meeting;. 



An attempt is being made to revive 

 interest in the Florists' Club, that has 

 been dormant for several years, and 

 every indication points to success. A 

 meeting was held January 24 at the 

 Board of Trade rooms, Henry Smith pre- 

 siding. jSlr. Freyliug was appointed 

 temporary secretary. The idea is to so 

 expand the scope of the club that it 

 will include with the florists, lettuce 

 growers, seedsmen and nurserymen. 



A committee of three was appointed 

 to draw up a new set of bylaws. The 

 committee consisted of N. B. Stover, 

 Frank Strong and Geo. F. Crabb. An- 

 other committee was appointed to sub- 

 mit a list of prices on bedding stock, 

 consisting of Mr. Freyling, Geo. F. 

 Crabb and Alfred Hanna. There were 

 fourteen present and all enthusiastic 

 over the prospects of having a live, pro- 

 gressive club once more. The meeting 

 adjourned for one week.
