GRAND RAPIDS. 



The Market. 



The weather has continued fine and 

 warm, regular Indian summer, until to- 

 <lay, when the prolonged drought has 

 been broken by a fine, drizzling rain, 

 Which acts as if it had come to stay. 



Business has been quiet. There are 

 plenty of flowers, owing to the excep- 

 uonally fine weather wo have been hav- 



ing. Mums are pretty nearly cut off, but 

 are suflScient for all demands, • roses being 

 particularly plentiful and of good qual- 

 ity. 



The demand for carnations seems to 

 run to white and light pink shades. En- 

 chantress is the favorite, although 

 Melody and Winsor are kept well cleaned 

 up, wliile Pink Lawson is the one to take 

 a back seat. Aristocrat, with its longer 

 stem, sells best. We venture to preset 

 that Afterglow and Winona will force

the Lawson family out of the market. 

 If Winsor had a longer stem it would be 

 hard to beat; its color is exquisite. 



Violets are doing nicely, but not bloom- 

 ing as freely as usual at this season of 

 the year, presumably on account of the 

 continued warm weather. 



Paper Whites have made their appear- 

 ance. 



Variotfi Notes. 



Chas. Chadwick has moved his store off 

 Monroe street to 23 South Division 

 street. 



W. W. Mulick has opened a store at 

 706 Wealthy avenue. This is the first 

 experiment in locating a store away from 

 the center of the business district.

 Greenhouse Co., is seriously ill with con-

The Market. 



Trade was excellent for Thanksgiving, 

 with mums in the lead, as usual. There 

 was a good supply and they were cleaned 

 up nicely. Some few are to come in yet, 

 but they will be scattering compared 

 with the numbers that came in up to 

 Thanksgiving. Eoses and carnations 

 moved rather slowly and prices were not 

 so high as was expected, as there was 

 a good supply. Violets moved well and 

 at good figures; they were hard to find 

 by noon Thanksgiving. Plants of all 

 kinds moved rather slowly, but, taking it 

 all around, we have no complaint to 

 make, and some firms say they did more 

 Imsiness than last year. 



Roses are on the increase and the qual- 

 ity is fine. Carnations are good and be- 

 coming more plentiful. Stevia and Paper 

 Whites have made their appearance, 

 which helps to make more of a variety 

 of stock. 



Varioui Notes. 



The Florists' Club held no meeting 

 November 24, as everyone was too busy 

 with Thanksgiving. The dance given 

 by the club November 18 was a great 

 success. There was a fine attendance
