GRAND RAPIDS. 



The Crand Rapids Greenhouse <Jo. has 

 made godd progress in the work of or- 

 ganizing its business and iinju-oving its 

 jiroperty. The coini)aiiy was jornieil 

 last winter by coml)ining several of the 

 large individual jdants. Its Madison 

 avenue, East street and Division street 

 plants are dc\oted almost entirely to the 

 growing of lettuce and other winter 

 crops, while the Hiirtoii .aveiiiie plant, 

 comprising the old Strong greenhouse-, 

 is gi\-en up to llowers. 



The liurton avenue plant is under the 

 direction of \. H. Stover, and here ex- 

 tensive imjirovenients have been made 

 and others are under way. An oflSce 

 building and show room, with a cold 

 storage basement, has just been coni- 

 pleteil, 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, (too square feet.

 vines, he stabbed himself slightly in the 

 leg.

Girvin's Handy Cutter 



Mr. Florist, if you onee get one of these cutlers on your finger you will never 

 be without it for many times the price. .Just the thins; for euttinij 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 timt- ? Don't continue 

 breaking your carnations and thus luin hutdreds 

 of young bhoots daily, simply because a knife is 

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

 you are not entirely satistlert with it you can return 

 it and have your money refunded. These cutters 

 are jnade of spring brass, highly nickel-plated, and 

 contain a removable blade.
