GRAND RAPIDS. 



We are again having a dry spell and 

 are greatly in need of rain. While the 

 8un is hot in the daytime, the nights are 

 delightfully cool. Carnation plants are 

 not as large as usual, but they are fine, 

 sturdy stock, with plenty of breaks. All 

 are hard at work now benching their 

 plants and will be through in about ten 

 days. If it were not for repairs to 

 benches, the work would go on much 

 faster. Eoses are looking well and prom- 

 ise a fine winter crop. 



Henry Smith is rebuilding several old 

 houses, making three new ones in their 

 place, each 275 feet long. 



Business is quiet, except for occasional 

 funeral orders, which relieve the sum- 

 mer monotony. 



Bruinslot & Sons are excavating for a 

 large marine boiler, bought recently from 

 Charles Chadwick, when he quit the flo- 

 rists' business. The walls of the boiler 

 hole are of cement and extend about nine 

 feet below the ground ; the boiler will thus 

 work on the gravity plan. When the 

 boiler is set they will proceed with the 

 erection of two new houses for cucumbers 

 and lettuce. 



Henry Smith has returned from the 

 convention, and is loud in his praises of 

 its quality and great success. He is espe- 

 cially well pleased with the location of 

 next year 's meeting, and it is to be hoped 

 our city will make a much better show- 

 ing than it did this year. The only ones 

 who could get away besides Mr, Smith 

 were Mrs. Schols and her son. The latter 

 was unfortunately taken with appendi- 

 citis as soon as he arrived, and is still 

 at Cincinnati, packed in ice and receiv- 

 ing every possible care. He is in a fair 

 way to recover, although this is his third 

 attack. Everybody hopes he will get well 

 quickly and be able to return to his home. 



There are practically no carnations in 

 the market, and what asters there are are 

 of poor quality, except those grown in- 

 side. It looks as if it will be necessary 

 if one wants good asters these days to 

 plant them inside. Outside grown asters 

 are no longer the success of former years. 



G. F. C. 



Tarentum, Pa. — The McWilliams 

 Floral Co. has been incorporated, with a 

 capital of $15,000. 



Springfield, Mass. — Mark Aitken has 

 bought the E, N. Powers place, about 

 three-quarters of a mile below the south 

 end bridge, in Agawam, and intends 

 erecting there one of the biggest and 

 best ranges in this part of the state. A 

 start will be made with 50,000 feet of 

 glass, to be added to from time to time, 

 as conditions warrant. Plans are being 

 drawn by the Lord & Burnham Co. 

 Ground will not be broken until spring.

Do 



You 



Know 



Aphine? 



The FLORISTS' REVIKW says : 



- "The demand for Aphine, the insfct 

 destroying discovery, is widespread. Its 

 endorsement has been remarkable. An 

 unsolicited editorial in Collier's Weekly 

 is especially stronf; in its behalf, and 

 Arthur Herrington Albert M. Herr, Louis 

 A. Noe, Brani-Hentz Flower Co., August 

 Belmont, ai d the eDtomologlsts, J. B. 

 Smith and E. B. Soathwick, have much 

 to say as to its efficiency." 



COLLIER'S WKKKLY says : 



"Aphine has a future as wide and long 

 as the United States." 



The FLORISTS' EXCHANGE says: 



"It is not very often that any new en- 

 terprise receives such an impetus at the 

 very start as the newly exploited insect- 

 icide Aphine has. We have been told on 

 what would seem to be the very best 

 expert authority, that this preparation 

 Is a very excellent thing." 



It kills the Black Fly, Green Fly, 

 White Fly, Red Fly, Thiips, Red 

 Spider, Mealy Hue, Sluffs, Cater- 

 pillars and White and Brcwn Scale.
