GRAND RAPIDS. 



Current G)mment. 



During February we experienced some 

 as severe weather as is ever handed out — 

 snow storms, blizzards, way below zero, 

 combinations of rain, snow and sleet, 

 floods and anything else you can mention. 

 Little damage was done beyond the 

 smashing in of a few rafter bars, unable 

 to stand the weight of snow. Among 

 those whQ sulfered most were Henry 

 Smith and Charles Chadwick. 



Business has been fair, with a spurt 

 at St. Valentine's day. Shipping has 

 been brisk, but orders are, as a rule, not 

 as large as for the corresponding month 

 last year. Last February demand was 

 far in excess of supply. There have been 

 times when roses have been scarce, but 

 otherwise stock has been plentiful. The 

 great glut has been bulbous stock. Last 

 season you could not get enough, but this 

 time every florist in town was going to 

 have enough, ' ' you bet. ' ' One firm alone 

 is growing a total of 300,000 bulbs. It 

 is doubtful if the initial cost of the bulbs 

 will be realized. Next season they will 

 be grown in more subdued quantities. 



Large receptions and weddings have 

 been conspicuous by their absence, while 

 funeral Mork has been as plentiful as 

 heretofore. In summing up, the aggre- 

 gate is fairly satisfactory, with no real 

 cause of complaint, yet business is not 

 as good as last season. 



Lilies are beginning to come in and 

 the prospects are for the usual Easter 

 quantity. If we could only get multi- 

 florums free of disease and to come true 

 to name, what a blessing! As it is, with 

 disease and the mixture of varieties one 

 gets under the name multiflorum, the loss 

 amounts to anywhere from forty to sixty 

 per cent. G. F. C. 



TORONTO. 



Trade has not been good in the city, 

 with the exception of a few social events. 

 Many of the florists are complaining of 

 the lack of what is usually considered 

 transient trade, and they have to depend 

 on the larger orders they get for wed- 

 dings and receptions. 



Carnations, violets and bulb stock are 

 coming in plentifully. Roses of all kinds 

 are scarce, especially white and Beauties. 



D. J. Sinclair is now getting his prem- 

 ises in shape after the fire which con- 

 sumed the office and shipping room Feb- 

 ruary 18. D. J. 



Hutchinson, Kan. — The Hutchinson 

 Floral Co. has removed its downtown 

 office to its greenhouses, at the comer of 

 Band and Poplar streets.

but a good, honeet, free and ever-blooming clear white carna- 

 tion. Very easily rooted, very fragrant, excellent keeper and 

 shipper. Size and stem of Enchantress, with the freedom of bloom 

 of McGowen; no cropper—always in bloom. Come and see it 

 and give it a trial. Once grown, you will not grow any other.

cash with order. 



The garden committee of the Massachusetts Horticultural Society recently visited the 

 greenhouses of H. A. Jahn, of New Bedford, to see his carnations. A white seedling which is 

 largely planted and which has been shown at Boston and other shows, was looking fine. It is 

 the most wonderfully prolific white the committee had seen. The flower is large, full and the 

 stem ideal.— Boston News-letter in Nov. 28, 1907, issue of Thk FiiOEisTS' Review.
