opened at Thirty-second street and Troost 

 avenue, reports business as being good 

 for a new store. On September 26, the 

 Jewish New Year's day, he had a fine 

 trade. His space is somewhat small, but 

 his surroundings are pleasant, as he is in 

 with a millinery and hair-dressing shop 

 which has the trade of some of the most 

 aristocratic ladies in the city. We wish 

 him much success. 



W. H. Humfeld had a nice decoration 

 at the Coates House last Friday. It was 

 for a prominent physician of this city, 

 who gave a dinner there to celebrate the 

 twenty-fifth anniversary of his wedding. 

 Six hundred relatives and friends were 

 invited. 



C. C. Maynard is still busy with his 

 barrel on his wagon, selling a liquid to 

 kill insects on trees and shrubbery.

GRAND RAPIDS. 



The Grand Eapids Greenhouse Co. has 

 made good progress in the work of or- 

 ganizing its business and improving its 

 property. The company \vas lonncd 

 last winter by combining several of the 

 large individual plants. Its Madison 

 avenue, East street and Division street 

 plants are devoted almost entirely to the 

 growing of lettuce and other winter 

 crops, while the Burton avenue plant, 

 comprising the old Strong greenhouse?, 

 is given up to flowers. 



The Burton avenue plant is under the 

 direction of N. B. Stover, and here ex- 

 tensive improvements have been made 

 and others are under way. An office 

 building and show room, with a cold 

 storage basement, has just been com- 

 pleted, fronting on Burton avenue, and 

 a show greenhouse, connecting with the 

 office, has been built. 



Four new houses, two for roses and 

 two for violets, will be built before win- 

 ter sets in. Next season additional 

 houses will be built, until the entire five 

 acres are under glass. The present area 

 is about 75,000 square feet. 



Louisville, Ky. — William Williams, 

 an employee of John Bickel, is in a seri- 

 ous condition from blood poisoning, the 

 result of an accidental wound with a 

 pruning knife. While trimming some 

 vines, he stabbed himself slightly in the 

 leg.

Girvin's Handy Cutter 



Mr. Florist, if you once get one of these cutters on your finger you will never 

 be without it for many times the price. Just the thing for cutting your carnations, 

 sweet peas, asters, melons, grapes, etc. Why be botht red with a knife or follow 

 the old way oi breaking your flowers when a Handy Cutter will do the work better 



and save you money and time ? Don't continue 

 breaking your carnations and thus luin hutdreds 

 of young thoots daily, simply because a knife is 

 unhandy to work with, but try a Handy Cutter. If 

 you are not entirely satisfied with it you can return 

 it and have your money refunded. These cutters 

 are made of spring brass, biiibly nickel-plated, and 

 contain a removable blade.
