The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



Mat 30. 1907. 



GRAND RAPIDS. 



Current Comment. 



Weather conditions since Easter have 

 been peculiar for this season of the year 

 — dark, cloudy, cold and snowy. We 

 had regular March weather during all 

 of April and the first part of May, the 

 thermometer dropping to 26 degrees fre- 

 quently. Carnations in the field, if they 

 had been planted the preceding day, 

 were badly frozen; those that had been 

 out longer fared better, being somewhat 

 hardened to the cold. 



Eoses only have been equal to the de- 

 mand, except in the week following 

 Easter. Carnations have been scarce, 

 particularly colored varieties. White 

 is at times scarce, at other times equal 

 to the demand. Sweet peas are plenti- 

 ful and fine. Tulips and other bulb 

 stocks are oflf the market until outdoor 

 ones come in. 



Carnations have been planted in the 

 field early this year, and, except cut- 

 tings still in the sand, all are in the 

 field. The loss to some from the ab- 

 normally low temperature is considera- 

 ble, yet frosty nights did not stop the 

 arnbitious florist who wanted his stock 

 out because "the time has arrived, and 

 hang the weather ! ' ' 



Green goods are extremely scarce and 

 one has almost to take a microscope to 

 see the size of a string of smilax. 



At the May meeting of the Florists' 

 Club the unlucky number thirteen were 

 present and had an interesting time. 

 Prices were under discussion, and there 

 is a general feeling that as everything 

 else has gone up in price, the patient, 

 overworked florist ought to share in the 

 general prosperity. It looks as if high- 

 er prices would prevail this year. The 

 next meeting will be in charge of N. B. 

 Stover, who will arrange and carry out 

 some program of his own getting up. 



G. F. C. 



Sheldon, III. — Alfred Runnion says 

 trade lias been good with him this spring, 

 and his greenhouses are not large enough 

 to supply the demand. He has a fine lot 

 of sweet peas, asters, dahlias, verbenas 

 and cannas and a good assortment of 

 outdoor flowers. He is planning also to 

 engage in mum growing on a small scale.

PATENT 



SULPHUR 



VAPOURISER. 



Extract from paper read by John H. Dunlop before a 

 convention of the Canadian Horticultural Association: 



"Campbell's Sulphur Vaporiser is an Engrlish patent 

 and a trifle expensive, but very effective, and elimi- 

 nates almost all of the danger of igrnition. We are using 

 eight of them at present with excellent results."
